It really is the height of luxury living, and a home has recently become available there, one that currently belongs to poker player Chance Kornuth, the No.3 ranked professional in the Unites States and No. 4 in the world. The two-story, 6,103-square-foot home, built in 2019 and listed by Gretchen Wills with the Ivan Sher Group at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Nevada Properties, is a showcase in every sense of the word. Throughout its six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and 4-car garage, it impresses down to the last detail. It also sits 2,585 feet above sea level, offering unparalleled views of the Strip and Las Vegas Valley from a rooftop balcony.
This home impresses before you even come through the front door! A private courtyard entrance features a secluded seating lounge and outdoor fireplace, a perfect space to watch the sunrise. The first thing you’ll notice upon entering is a pivoting glass front door that opens to a grand foyer filled with natural light. The upgraded amenities and high-end finishes include a temperature-controlled wine cellar, which lines the staircase and can show up to 600 bottles (it was previously a closet, but Kornuth wanted to appeal to wine lovers with the upgrade). Just above that is a full-sized loft, game room and fully equipped wet bar.

Elsewhere, you’ll find a gourmet kitchen with Monogram stainless steel appliances, Electrolux Icon French door refrigerator, quartz countertops, large, elongated island, walk-in pantry and polished hardwood flooring featuring a herringbone pattern. The main living area features vaulted ceilings and a stone wall-mounted fireplace.
The bedrooms are all warm and inviting, with the real standout being the primary retreat on the first floor. It contains two avant-garde, walk-in closets equipped with a washer and dryer, a spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub, dual sinks and expansive, luxury shower. Its floor-to-ceiling glass door opens up to an expansive, wrap-around backyard that will quickly become your go-to destination with its covered exterior patio.
