Marycrest Is One Of Las Vegas' Most Desirable Downtown Neighborhoods

Marycrest Estates has been home to some of the most recognizable family names in Las Vegas. Liberace, Marnell, Foley, Tiburti, Greenspun and many others have made Marycrest their homes. Some still live there.


Marycrest is one of the nicest pocket neighborhoods, featuring all custom built one of a kind homes on lots ranging from 7000 to 16000 sf.

Marycrest encompasses a square bounded by Oakey on the North, 15th Street on the east, Maryland Parkway on the west and St. Louis on the South. The "Liberace" condos on St Louis are technically called Marycrest Manor, but are generally considered part of the neighborhood. The old Gorman High Campus (now Eldorado Preparatory Academy) is also part of the neighborhood.

The homes themselves, being custom, range from a very small house on Oakey at less than 1000 sf all the way to the biggest which is almost 4600.

A quick driving tour of 15th street, 14th Street (and the cul-de-sacs which run off of 14th) as well as Bonita is a true trip back in time.
There are 3 homes for sale in Marycrest. They're priced from $365k to 525k. We're proud to be representing 2 of them at 1701 and 1720 15th street.



If you'd like to see what I aspire to have all of Very Vintage Vegas eventually look like, take a walk or drive thru Marycrest.

Chris G's new driveway


In the catagory of "everywhere I look" our favorite County Commissioner Chris G. is getting all new driveways and walks on her home on 15th.


Uncle Jack represented Chris and her husband Gary when they purchased the home last summer. A true Vintage Vegas classic ranch with an incredible back yard. The worst part was the outdoor cement in the driveways and garage. But it looks like that problem will be fixed this week.

Moky says....


that he's the very first "desert landscape" to be installed in Vintage Vegas. He pulled his grass and switched to rock in 1964. His neighbors on St. Jude Circle were in SHOCK.

I've only started to interview him about being an original owner from 1955. He started to work at Caesars Palace 5 days before the original grand opening, and worked the casino floor for over 30 years. There's lots of stories, and I promise more later.
