Real Estate

Which crib would you buy: An underground pad or Wayne Newton’s estate?

Casa de Shenandoah

Wayne Newton's Casa de Shenandoah estate.

Cost: $70 million Built by: Wayne “Mr. Las Vegas” Newton, beloved entertainer, known best for hit song “Danke Schoen” (and a hairline that just won’t quit)

Original era: Late 1960s

Specs: 36 acres; 3,747-square-foot main house with three bedrooms and seven bathrooms; seven additional residences; landscaping fit for royalty

Extras: Jumbo jet “terminal,” tennis court, swimming pools (for horses and people), 53 stables and acres of corrals, game room, “car museum” space, zoo (animals not included)

Why it’s pimp: If you can’t live in Graceland, this really is the next best thing. And with only five acres developed, start drawing up plans for a zombie-survival theme park and another giant observation wheel!

3970 Spencer Street
