Las Vegas has never really been a city for understatement, and this house clearly got the memo.
Perched high above the valley inside MacDonald Highlands, a newly listed $21.9 million estate owned by actor Niko Foster (best known for producing and starring in The Wrecker, Ruthless, and I Am Rage) and his wife Stephanie goes all in on the kind of dramatic, high-impact living Las Vegas does best.
Think glowing pools, cascading waterfalls, retractable glass walls, and views that stretch from the Strip to the mountains.
Listed with Sam Coleman of IS LUXURY, the six-bedroom home spans more than 14,000 square feet and feels less like a traditional residence and more like a private boutique resort hovering above the desert floor.
Built around one thing: the view
The entire property revolves around perspective.
To the north: the Las Vegas Strip, glowing after dark like a second skyline. To the south: the McCullough Mountains, bringing a quieter desert backdrop that changes color throughout the day.
Nearly every major room in the house was positioned to capture one or both.
Retractable glass walls erase the line between inside and outside
The house was designed to stay visually connected to the outdoors at all times.
Massive retractable glass walls slide open across the living spaces, turning the terraces, pools, and lounge areas into extensions of the interior rather than separate zones.
At sunset, the whole place shifts tone completely.
A sacred Tibetan stone fireplace anchors the home
At the center of the home sits one of its most unusual features: a sacred stone fireplace sourced from Tibet.
Rather than treating it like décor, the design uses it as the visual anchor for the main living area — a sculptural centerpiece surrounded by soaring ceilings, clean-lined furnishings, and walls of glass.
A grand staircase makes a dramatic first impression
The entry sequence leans fully into scale.
A sweeping staircase rises through the center of the home beneath vaulted ceilings, immediately setting the tone for what follows: large spaces, strong sightlines, and plenty of visual drama.
The kitchen was built for entertaining at full Vegas scale
The kitchen doesn’t try to hide the fact that this is an entertainer’s house.
There’s an oversized island, professional-grade appliances, custom cabinetry, a butler’s pantry, and a dedicated cocktail bar, all laid out to support everything from casual breakfasts to packed nighttime gatherings.
The primary suite comes with its own coffee bar and lounge
The primary suite operates more like a private retreat tucked inside the larger estate.
Along with direct skyline views, it includes its own fireplace lounge, coffee bar, and indoor-outdoor setup that opens toward the city lights.
It’s easy to picture this becoming the most-used part of the house.
Five additional en-suite bedrooms keep guests in resort mode
The remaining bedrooms all come with en-suite baths, giving guests or extended family members plenty of privacy.
Even at this scale, the house avoids feeling hotel-like by breaking the layout into more intimate zones.
Outside, seven waterfalls turn the backyard into a private resort
The outdoor setup is where the house really goes full Vegas.
Two pools. Two spas. Seven waterfalls. Fire features. Lounge areas. An outdoor kitchen.
With ample space for golfing, dining, or relaxing
The outdoor areas have been cleverly separated to make the most of the idyllic setting and make people forget they’re in the desert.
Separate areas can accommodate dining al fresco, playing golf, or sunbathing, while still maintaining privacy.
At night, with the Strip glowing in the distance, the whole backyard starts to feel more like a luxury resort than a residential property.
A 12-seat private theater handles movie nights properly
A dedicated 12-seat theater adds another layer to the entertainment setup. And it’s not your regular media room pretending to be a cinema — it’s a proper screening space designed for immersive viewing.
With more fun (and equally glam) amenities nearby
From gaming spaces to chic speakeasy-like bars, the home has plenty of spaces for the versed entertainer to flaunt to guests.
The wellness wing includes a gym, steam room, and sauna
The wellness amenities take up an entire section of the home.
There’s a gym, steam room, sauna, and dedicated recovery spaces that make the estate feel increasingly self-contained.
A wine grotto adds a moodier side to the house
Away from the brighter living spaces, the wine grotto shifts the atmosphere entirely.
The darker finishes and more enclosed layout create one of the moodiest spaces in the house, a contrast to the open, light-filled rooms elsewhere.
A seven-car garage rounds out the compound
The property also includes a seven-car garage, giving collectors enough room to keep a serious lineup on-site.
At a house like this, even the garage is expected to perform.
MacDonald Highlands continues pulling in Las Vegas trophy homes
Over the past several years, MacDonald Highlands has become one of Southern Nevada’s biggest hubs for ultra-high-end custom homes.
The combination of elevation, privacy, and panoramic Strip views continues to attract buyers looking for something beyond the traditional casino-centric image of Las Vegas.
A $21.9M house that fully embraces theatrical desert living
From the waterfalls to the skyline-facing terraces, the entire estate is designed around spectacle, atmosphere, and experience.
And honestly, in Las Vegas, that feels exactly right.
