Owners’ Background and Vision
Michael Morton, son of restaurateur Arnie Morton—co‑founder of Morton’s The Steakhouse and former Playboy Enterprises president—has helped shape Las Vegas’ dining and nightlife scene. His brother, Peter Morton, co‑founded the Hard Rock Cafe and developed the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. Together with his wife Jenna, who also co‑directs an archaeological project in Jordan, Michael has launched concepts such as Drink! and the 9 Group, adding to the city’s contemporary culinary offerings.
“When I first saw the lot, there were wild burros looking toward the mountains. I knew I had found our place,” Michael said. Jenna added, “We love the Strip in our work and play, but arriving home to peaceful views and enveloping privacy offers a wonderful balance.” Their comments convey a desire for a private retreat that still feels connected to the city’s energy.
The couple’s design choices emphasize privacy and flexibility. Telescoping living‑room doors remove barriers between interior and exterior spaces, allowing al fresco gatherings. A wine room with programmable, color‑changing Lucite pegs holds hundreds of bottles, while a corkage table provides a dedicated space for service. The estate’s layout enables everything from small family dinners to 200‑person sit‑down events, a capability the listing agent noted as “ahead of its time” in blending wellness, indoor‑outdoor living and resort‑style design.
