Hidden Las Vegas History: the Hughes House (aka: the Green House)

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.

Love you George. You make 'professional' look easy.

All my time spent in Las Vegas, I had no idea this house existed. WOW!

His gravesite, next to his parents, is fenced off from visitors walking too close to it. I’ve been there several times to show friends the site. It’s at Glenwood cemetery in Houston Texas.

Great video! Would love to see more Hughes content.

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

[gingerriviera]

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.

"No further pursuit necessary" 😆😆

I was lucky enough to stay there in April 1989, when Robbie Knievel and Garry Wells were in Town for the Fountain jump"

I've been wanting to get in for years!! George...call me! Together, nothing could stop us!

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...

His other house by redrock had hidden rooms

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.

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 think it's truly sad that that man was left in the will to get money and he never got a dime

[dcdel]

I’m the biggest Howard Hughes fan, I just went to view the house from the rental flats, I just couldn’t believe that this man has no status in vegas!, your airport should have named it after this man, he single handily rid vegas of mobsters, Summerlin is named after his mum!, it’s about time you recognised him properly

theres gotta be some aliens stashed in the basement

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.

[johnheinrich]

Didn’t Hughes owned tv station where the house sits at?

[alexdavidson]

Have you read Boxes: secret life of H.H.?

So there was a hidden safe that was jack hammered out?
