Situated a matter of minutes from the Strip and Downtown, in the exclusive estate neighborhood of Paradise Valley, Marquis Las Vegas redefines luxury living in Las Vegas. Paradise Valley is an historical neighborhood of the Las Vegas elite, with some of Nevada’s most expensive properties including several estates ranging to more than 40 acres. The architecture at Blue Heron’s Marquis Las Vegas is a highly unique, Desert Contemporary style, and the features within demonstrate unprecedented innovation. These expansive courtyard style estate homes range from 4,500 to 8,700 square feet on one-half acre home sites. Currently under construction, Marquis Las Vegas homes begin in the low $1 millions.

For four years, Nevada-based homebuilder Blue Heron has brought unprecedented innovation to the Las Vegas housing market by creating a category of homes with a unique style and a character of its own: The Loft Home. The Loft Home architectural style ushers in the sophistication and modernity of a loft, with soaring ceilings, flexible floor plans, and spaciousness that cannot be had in a traditional home. Blue Heron neighborhoods offer gated entrances, landscaped backyards, private courtyards, private roof decks, and three-car garages.

To complete the flexible lifestyle concept, Blue Heron recently unveiled the Blue Heron Custom Design Experience. After perusing a series of more than 5,000 exciting and unique options under the guidance of Blue Heron, new residents will see the home of their dreams unfold before them. A few of these individualized options include modern steel staircases, polished concrete floors, and broad glass walls that roll open to provide continuity between indoors and out. Blue Heron stands true to a company pledge to research and implement the latest green technologies and practices in sustainable design. Of particular focus is indoor air quality and energy efficiency of each and every home, for healthier lives, and reduced energy usage and bills.

Las Vegas, famous for its nightlife and dining, is undeniably one of the world’s great tourist cities, but this fast-growing place is becoming known as an ideal place to live. The culture is certainly one of the most diverse…visit such exotic scenes as Paris, ancient Egypt, and Venice all in one day. The sheer number of local museums prove that art is a main attraction. The gallery of fine art at Bellagio is one of, if not the, city’s premiere art gallery, with annual exhibits from international artists and foreign museums. While casinos provide most of the stage entertainment, the Strip is also home to some of the most elaborate theatres in the world, and a number of big shows on Broadway find their way to Las Vegas Boulevard. Getting away from it all is also quite simple, with Lake Mead’s 500 miles of shoreline a short drive outside the city and the Mount Charleston ski resort only 45 minutes from the Strip. Hike and rock climb the rocky red and grey mountains of the Red Rock National Conservation Area. Indulge in a 13-mile scenic drive with majestic views of the mountains and the Mojave desert.
