Iconic poker player Phil Hellmuth has returned to Las Vegas after buying a condo for $2.8m from Elaine Wynn’s estate. He moved into the luxury Park Towers in December with his wife after living in Palo Alto for many years:
The record 17-time bracelet winner’s new residence was sold after 173 days on the market, just 5% below the original asking price. Elaine Wynn passed away in April 2025 at the age of 82. She was a big player in the Nevada casino game and was well known for her philanthropy. Another property in Park Towers owned by her estate sold in August for $8.25m.
Talking to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, real estate agent Karina Jett said that Hellmuth’s condo has a view of the Strip, which “is ideal for his poker endeavors.”
