Dan Bilzerian faces a significant setback as he puts his Las Vegas mansion on the market.
Once touted as a crown jewel in Las Vegas real estate, the owner of a sprawling 'adult playground' mansion has been dealt a humiliating blow in the high-stakes world of luxury listings.
Dan Bilzerian, a poker player and self-proclaimed 'King of Instagram' has slashed the price of his opulent Spring Valley estate by a staggering $5 million, dropping the listing price from $25 million to $19.9 million.
The move is a stark climbdown for Bilzerian, whose home previously held the title of the most expensive listing in the Las Vegas Valley.
Spanning 38,289 square feet, this Spanish Colonial mansion is perched on a sprawling five-acre estate, epitomizing luxury and extravagance with features that few residences worldwide can compare to.
Constructed in 2006, this property boasts a full-sized basketball court that can also serve as a roller hockey rink, along with a dedicated poker room, a home theater, and a golf simulator.
Outside, you'll find an exquisitely designed pool featuring a rock climbing wall and a thrilling slide.
Within, the luxuries abound, featuring an indoor trampoline, a foam pit, a batting cage, a Jujutsu training area, and a spacious garage for 16 cars, all designed to satisfy almost any desire.
The decrease in price could indicate wider changes in the luxury real estate sector, where even the most opulent properties may find it challenging to attract buyers ready to pay top dollar.

Bilzerian's mansion, though distinctive, is clearly designed for a particular way of living — one characterized by lavish excess.
Real estate agent Frank Napoli characterized the property as truly unique, stating, "Throughout my entire career in real estate, I've never encountered a property that matches this one in terms of the quality of its construction finishes. The original builder went above and beyond, sourcing materials from across the globe without cutting corners."
Bilzerian acquired the property in 2018 for $8.5 million and has since invested millions in renovations, turning it into what many would describe as a paradise of indulgence.
Even with its stunning features, the mansion found it difficult to entice a buyer at the initial asking price of $25 million.
For Bilzerian, the reduction in price signifies a moment of humility for someone whose persona has been constructed around the facade of boundless riches and opulence.
The recent cut marks yet another challenge for Bilzerian, whose extravagant image has been overshadowed by increasing legal issues.
His firm, Ignite International Brands Ltd., is presently caught up in a federal inquiry that encompasses allegations of wire fraud and conspiracy to deceive the United States.
The charges also involve his father, Paul Bilzerian, a disgraced ex-Wall Street investor who is alleged to have funneled funds to Ignite despite having over $180 million in outstanding judgments against him.
