This sanctuary-like home is in Dragon Gate, which consists of 12 hillside lots with views of the Strip, some 14 miles away.

Glass walls slide away to connect the indoors to a terrace.
A floor-to-ceiling glass wine wall and bar adjoin the main living areas, which open to the outdoors. The fully outfitted kitchen features an open ceiling, large center island and walk-in pantry.

Views take in the Las Vegas Strip and the mountains beyond.
Three more en-suite bedrooms are located downstairs. There are also two half-baths within the 7,136 square feet of interiors.
A recreation room with a wet bar, a home theater and a home office with a private entry near the six-car garage are among other living spaces.
