  • The hidden history of home Howard Hughes lived in when he spent time in Las Vegas in the 1950s.
    The home is located in the parking lot of KLAS=TV about a block from the Las Vegas Strip near the Wynn and Encore close to several hotel-casinos the eccentric billionaire ended up owning.

    It's interesting, I heard that the city stopped HH from buying up all the hotels, something about not allowing him to monopolize the strip...and now the majority of the hotels are MGM or Caesars.

    Hughes fascinates me, i get the feeling a lot remains secret,i find it preposterous that Hughes who wrote down every command did not leave after death instructions

      According to his mentality I guess he figured there was no afterlife and he probably didn't care about anyone but himself.

    I've been in that house in the early 90's. I didn't know it belonged to HH until I was there. The first thing I 'felt' was a nervous energy in the house. I kept thinking "who is/was in here?" That's when they told me who's house it was. If you're sensitive to vibrations (not sure what else to call it), walk into the bedroom. HH is still there. PS- God love ya George! We all do!

      I once walked into an abandoned old antebellum mansion and was looking around. I looked around in the basement area and noticed that was where the cooking and etc took place. I was overcome with a feeling as if a large group of people were saying " you don't belong here- this isn't yours- your trespassing." I suppose I was even though the home hosted a huge historical info sign at the entrance of the property. I didn't know how to get permission but was trying to find out when this happened. I later learned that old "big house" was a Ghostbusters dream destination. There is an energy like you discussed and the people who call us crazy for saying so just have never had the experience. It was "palpable"

    By all accounts, Hughes was an eccentric, vain playboy. Then through some extraterrestrial transformation he turned into a power hungry, slovenly, mega-rich, psychotic recluse. All of the weirdo's money couldn't extend his miserable life. He died depressed and alone.

    I lived in Las Vegas for 3 years. I never got to go anywhere because the Siegal Suites took all of my disability check. When I first visited Vegas in 1987 it was so different. Almost one big sand lot. If you laid low back then you could of really prospered. A lot of people became wealthy buying that sand.

    Historical heritage pieces, even frivolous ones as unpacked toothbrushes should only be touched with special gloves, to make sure no sweat etc goes from the fingers to the objects...
