ThisOldHouse.com, the popular TV show and magazine website, has included Las Vegas historic Paradise Palms neighborhood in its 61 Best Old-House Neighborhoods' City Living category.

The 1960s golf course community borders Maryland Parkway, Eastern Avenue and Flamingo and Desert Inn roads. Many celebrities and colorful characters of that era, including Johnny Carson, Debbie Reynolds, Dean Martin, Dinah Shore and mobster Tony Spilotro lived there. The subdivision, which has homes on what is now known as the Las Vegas National Golf Course, was featured in the 1995 movie "Casino."
