The home is located 15 miles from the Las Vegas Strip, in the exclusive MacDonald Highlands neighborhood and, specifically, within the community’s DragonRidge neighborhood. Technically, it’s a community within a community, with its own DragonRidge Country Club and clubhouse.

The home spans 2,750 square feet and is currently configured with three bedrooms (with room for up to five bedrooms) and seven bathrooms.
“I started fighting in Las Vegas over 30 years ago,” Oscar De La Hoya tells Forbes magazine. “I remember flying in a helicopter over the city in 1993 with Kirk Kerkorian and he said, ‘This is where you’re going to fight.’ I fought 30 times at the MGM, which he built, and my only regret is not moving to Las Vegas 30 years ago.”

For example, the home’s living room was transformed early on into a custom tribute room/man cave celebrating the boxer’s career.
