Las Vegas is known as Sin City and is considered the ideal place to “get naughty.” After all, there is no shortage of opportunities there when it comes to having fun to the point where things get raunchy.
So what are the seven naughtiest things one can do in Las Vegas in order to for your “naughty” side to emerge? There are a plenty of choices, so here are a few of the more common ones – and the more extreme ones.
1) Strip club hopping
Las Vegas doesn’t lack for the strip clubs. Some are high-end and then there are those more commonly found in other cities around the country. Regardless, there are plenty of choose from. The best part is many of them are concentrated in an area just off Interstate 15 and only a few blocks away from the casino resorts found on South Las Vegas Boulevard, commonly known as The Strip.
Many are concentrated with a few blocks of each other, so it is relatively easy to take in a few on one given night filled with lap dances and topless showcases. Arguably the best to begin with is Crazy Horse III due to their neon parties, hot girls, and a chance to catch a celebrity there. However, more high-end ones such as Spearmint Rhino, Treasures (with also has a buffet), and Sapphire (partially by a pool). Also, there is Olympic Gardens which has an all-male revue upstairs and an all-ladies show downstairs which might be perfect for visiting couples.
2) The Nightclub Tour
For just plain fun, take in the various nightclubs. This is the area where Sin City is truly known for. Each casino has its own standout night club or two. Then, there are a few more besides that. So you can easily take them in, especially by using unique services as the Las Vegas Club Crawl. This service allow you to visit three night clubs on one night.
Whether it is the exotic Tao night club in the Venetian which has private sky boxes and dancers on hanging down from the ceiling, the DJ-fueled Hakassan at MGM Grand which spans five floors and 60,000 square feet, the Cosmopolitan’s Marquee and its 40-foot video screen and three large rooms, the red-colored and stylish Wynn social at the Wynn and its indoor waterfall, or the new and brilliant Omnia at Caesar’s Palace, there is plenty to choose from. You may need to do the crawl multiple times.
3) Find the right room in town
The saying of “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” is partially because the resorts cater to delicious dalliances and intimate evenings for singles and couples alike. Those who are looking for romance may want to find the perfect erotic room to experience such love and lust.
Just off the Strip is the Palms Casino Resort off Flamingo Road on the west side of the I-15. The Palms is known for themed rooms such as “The Erotic Suite.” One can easily get a room with kinky accessories or a stripper’s pole or even a rotating bed under a ceiling mirror.
4) Hitting the (topless) pool
Las Vegas is in a desert, so the temperature cranks up during the summer months. So that would be a good time to head to one of the numerous resort pool clubs along The Strip, especially the ones where clothing above the navel sometimes is optional.
Enjoying a pool party where there are many topless party-goers can make for quite a site, especially with DJ music blaring in the background. Some places like the Naked Pool at the Artisan features VIP cabanas and daybeds. Other highly-rated pool parties can be found at Bare Pool at the Mirage, DayDream Pool Club at The M Resort, the Sapphire Pool which actually is owned by the Sapphire strip club, and Tao Bach at The Venetian.
5) Learn to shed clothing, Vegas-style
For some, there is even an opportunity to learn how to work a pole or to strip. Planet Hollywood has a Strippers 101 studio. There, they can teach a woman how to lap dance or use the stripper’s pole for an exotic dance. It is an unusual activity, but the classes are always well attended. There are other options such as the X Burlesque University at the Flamingo Hotel.
6) Swing into a “social” club
If a couple really wants to get into the swing of things, then a swinger’s club such as the Green Door on East Sahara Avenue may be ideal. Enjoy and experience the action or just watch. There is a couples only area for those who want to avoid the single person wandering about. There are also specialty rooms such as The Dungeon, The Fountain Room, and the Sexagon.
However, if you are looking for multiple willing partners in this social activity, a price of $70 per couple isn’t asking for a lot to experience such an evening.
7) Travel to the ranch (and its girls)
For all of its nickname, Las Vegas does have some restrictions. For instance, prostitution is officially illegal within city and Clark County limits. All that means to in taking a car drive an hour west to the town of Pahrump and visit Sheri’s Ranch, the nearest legal brothel to the city. It is perfectly legal to go in there and meet the ladies on the ranch to experience sexual joy and fulfillment legally.
We don’t all live in hotels (some do — but let’s save that for another blog) or cookie-cutter homes with yards thisclose together. Once you get past that notion, you’ll find that Vegas has some of the quirkiest houses you’ll ever see. Besides all of the celebrities living here in the desert, these Vegas houses are superstars in their own right too.
Take a look at these eight bizarre Vegas homes that are sure to blow your mind.

3970 Spencer St.
Think back to the days your teacher had you bring canned food and bottled water in case any disaster happened during school hours. And who can forget those earthquake and fire drills? Well, businessman Girard “Jerry” B. Henderson took disaster precaution to the next level.
Let’s kick off this article by starting from the bottom. Henderson built this bunker, located on Spencer Street near Flamingo Road, in the late ’70s to stay safe from any possible nuclear attacks and other end-of-the-world instances. Set 26 feet under the ground, this underground home offers plenty to do. According to a Vegas Inc. article, the home has a four-hole putting green, pool, two whirlpools, a sauna, a bar, a barbecue pit, casita and even a dance floor with a small stage. If you lived here you couldn’t possibly be bored, especially if you had a fun group of friends.
One of the odd features is the light control switch: You can choose day, sunset or night (complete with stars). This home also has fake trees and flowers, elevators, an intercom and fire alarm systems. The chimney is even disguised as a tree at ground level. But the story gets even odder: A group called Society for the Preservation of Near Extinct Species bought it for more than $1 million. We’re curious what they plan on doing with it.
The two-bedroom, three-bathroom house is built beneath a normal looking house — you would never even know it’s here. The bunker home is 5,000-plus square feet. Hopefully this eventually becomes a tour because we are totally interested.
From this view, aren’t you the least bit tempted to run inside frantically and expect something random in the living room? Photo courtesy of Las Vegas Weekly.
Henderson, Nev.
The Siiimpsons…remember getting excited each week to see what Bart writes on the blackboard during detention? And of course, we can’t get enough of the couch gags (this blogger’s favorite will always be “The Game of Life” one). If you’re a hardcore fan of “The Simpsons,” imagine living in a tricked out Simpsons house. Everything – from the sailboat picture hanging crooked over the frumpy brown couch to the brightly-colored walls – was recreated to the T. Built in 1997, the real-life Simpsons house was actually part of a marketing promo run by Pepsi and Fox.
The 2,200-square-foot, four-bedroom home had more than a thousand Simpsons-themed props to fill the house including Maggie’s bottles, Duff beer cans and even Bart’s tree house. This house was a prize in a nationwide contest. Sadly (for us anyway), the winner opted for the prize money and the house sold a few years later. All of the glorious Simpsons touches are simply a memory. Sigh.
The concept was freaking awesome, right down to the pink sedan parked in the driveway. For those of us who lived or visited Vegas back in 2007, at least we had a little fix: Select 7-Eleven stores throughout the valley dressed up as Kwik-E Marts to promote “The Simpsons Movie.” You could actually buy Buzz Cola and Krusty the Klown’s KrustyO’s cereal.

East Fremont Street (between Ninth and 10th streets)
In case we need to school ya, an Airstream is a luxury RV popular for its 1930s-inspired rounded aluminum exterior. Zappos CEO/Downtown Project founder Tony Hsieh owns one and it looks spiffy. He rents out the others on this “urban camping” site. A Las Vegas Weekly story explained that the RV park includes everything from community campfires and a shared kitchen (made inside a shipping container). Measuring a mere 200 square feet, each airstream has wood paneling, stainless steel appliances, a Bluetooth stereo system and TVs. You can also rent out a 130-square-foot Tumbleweed but it doesn’t have its own kitchen, couch or the fancy high-tech stuff.
And if you’ve ever frequented Gold Spike bar (also part of the Downtown Project), the Airstream park has a shared garden made for folks to hang out and mingle. The park is part of Hsieh’s $350 million investment into making Vegas more like a city-city.
We see this as a cool concept to rent out to family and friends. But we know the whole point is to socialize with strangers from all walks of life. All we’re missing are campfire songs, “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” scary storytelling and marshmallow roasting.
May we have this dance? Swim, dine and dance the night away at the Hartland Mansion’s gorgeous event venue. Photo courtesy of the Hartland Mansion website.
525 Park Paseo
Measuring about 31,000 square feet, the Hartland Mansion is the epitome of a classic Vegas mansion. This is a popular spot for weddings, birthdays and fancy-schmancy dinner soirees. It started out as two residences in the 1940s and transformed into one in the early 1970s. The Hart family bought the house from original owner Lawrence Arvey nearly a decade later. Two fires later, the late Toni Hart, a gospel artist, decided to rebuild and restore the mansion, which took seven years to complete. After completion, the mansion served as an ideal venue for parties. The space also hosted fashion shows, as well as a private Las Vegas Symphony concert with 400 guests.
There’s celebrity history here too: Robert De Niro and Sharon Stone shot parts of “Casino” in this mansion, while Willie Nelson sang here on another occasion. Before the Harts took over, past visitors included Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Sammy Davis Jr., Liberace, Tony Bennett, Marilyn Monroe and Ronald Reagan, among others.
The Hartland Mansion has eight bedrooms and 13 bathrooms (nine full and four half). There’s an “Elvis Room,” a “Velvet Room” and the spectacular “Grand Party Room” that features an indoor pool, a garden and plenty of room to dine and dance. If you ever make it out here, make sure to take a picture in front of the double spiral staircase — it’s very “Gone with the Wind” style.
The house is on the market for $3.5 million. If you have the dough, you can either keep the glam vintage Vegas feel or change it to the house of your dreams. The space is bananas.

House Used In Movie Casino
West Wigwam Avenue
The famed magician from “Penn & Teller” bought this A-frame house back in the mid-’90s. A-frame houses are actually built for snow, so we find it a bit wacky since this is in the desert. It originally sat on two acres and Jillette stretched it out to 10. As soon as he and his wife had kids, they added an additional wing.
“I would live here for the rest of my life if I didn’t have children,” said Jillette in a YouTube video posted by John Whiteside. “Children don’t want to be raised in a retreat.”
The house is selling for more than $2 million. If it’s not purchased by a private owner soon (real soon), developers will buy it for the land. This means the cartoonish house (which actually could pass as a “cousin” to the aforementioned Simpsons house if you think of it) will be bulldozed. “The Slammer is so eccentric, you can’t really sell this thing. That’s the downside,” he said.
When he lived here, Jillette said he had full-out rock concerts, including a performance by the late Lou Reed. The colorful, sprawling property has everything like a kid’s living room, steam room, gym, a room for band practice, a lecture hall and of course, tons of bedrooms. As an added touch, there are 12 turtles that swim in the backyard’s goldfish-shaped pond.
To avoid the bulldozing, Jillette’s organization The United Church of Bacon wants to try and save it and use The Slammer for parties and events.

4318 Ridgecrest Drive
Ever watched the A&E hit series, “Hoarders?” Talk about motivation to clean your place! If you ever had the pleasure of visiting this particular house, you’ll see that former neurosurgeon and lieutenant governor Dr. Lonnie Hammargren had a knack for collecting. And while some would call his hobby excessive hoarding, we find it excessively cool. Come on — how often do you see a life-sized T-Rex hanging out in someone’s yard? Or even a Batmobile for that matter?
The doctor turned two houses into one. He has hosted private tours for the past 40 years but due to health problems and neighbor complaints from lack of street parking, it may be on a permanent hiatus. Hammargren hosted an open house last year in honor of Nevada’s 150th birthday.
His tours have attracted thousands of visitors and include several themed rooms with artifacts from all over the world. And who knows? Tours for this may run again. If they do, we call dibs in the toy room so we have an excuse play all day.

972 Vegas Valley Drive
You’ve seen the movies. Mob stories always so alluring, right? Famous mobster and Las Vegas casino executive Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal’s two-story home could star in its own. Located in the Las Vegas Country Club, it was part of the city’s first guard-gated housing area. Rosenthal had everything from bulletproof doors and windows to gun safes and steel fixtures protecting the house. These ultra-tough windows may have worked in his favor: There’s a chip on part of the glass suspected to be from a bullet.

Rosenthal also had soundproof rooms so the feds couldn’t listen in on his conversations. When he owned the house in the 1970s, he put about half a million sprucing up the place. The 1995 movie, “Casino” is largely based on this mobster’s life. Rosenthal passed away in 2008. As of July, the house is on the market for $777,777.

3310 Sunset Road
Last but most certainly not least, we gotta show some love to Mr. Las Vegas himself, Wayne Newton. Wayne Newton’s 52-acre property, Casa de Shenandoah is now open for public tours. Those days of cruising down Pecos Road (wondering what the heck was behind that darn wall) are finally over. We now have a behind-the-scenes peek into the crib he owned for the past 50-plus years.
The tour starts across the street at the visitor’s center, where you’ll watch a quick movie highlighting Newton’s start in showbiz. Afterward, you’ll hop on a shuttle which takes you past the golden gates. Get ready to ooh and ahh, especially when you see the private jet on the lot.
There is so much lush greenery, along with waterfalls, tall oak trees and ponds. You’ll forget you’re in Vegas for a second. You’ll get a chance to see his beautiful Arabian horses. These horses walk so gracefully and light, it almost looks like they’re floating. You can watch the horses gallop and just steps away, you can see them go for a swim. Wayne also has a penguin named Charlie and a capuchin monkey named Boo. We loved the bright, highlighter green parrot who whistles at the ladies. You may even spot peacocks lounging high up in the trees.
The private jet was also fun; you can take a selfie in the cockpit. (Roger that!) You’ll also see fun memorabilia in the museum, from childhood costumes and rare military keepsakes, to letters from past presidents and gifts from Vegas entertainers. He also has a row of classic cars, including Mercedes Benz models. Head to his house and you’ll run into some really bizarre, intriguing art and collectibles. The man had diverse taste, that’s for sure.
Once you head back to the visitor’s center, the gift shop area has everything like “Wayniac” shirts and handcrafted Native American jewelry. There are even stuffed animals (based on the real animals across the street) for the kids.
Read a detailed experience at Casa de Shenandoah and check it out for yourself 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. (with tours 9:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.), Monday – Saturday. Tours start at $35. Upgrade your tour and get peeks inside the mansion’s hidden rooms and passageways. You may even get a picture with Wayne.
Lefty Rosenthal House
We mentioned several unusual Vegas homes, but there are plenty of others. Honorable mentions: the Primm mansion on Tomiyasu Lane that Michael Jackson planned on buying, as well as the former home “haunted” by comedian Red Foxx (on Eastern Avenue, past Russell Road).
