VEGAS MYTHS BUSTED: Howard Hughes Lived in The Green House

2024-12-02

What makes this myth so pervasive and difficult to challenge is that it was started by a reputable Las Vegas news organization.

The Green House stands where it was built in 1951. Today, that’s on the grounds of a Las Vegas TV station at 3250 Channel 8 Drive, about a mile east of the Strip by Wynn Las Vegas. Its address is about to change, however. (Image: vintagelasvegas.com, inset: Turner Classic Movies)

Recently, the Clark County Commission approved $1.5 million to relocate what is known to locals as “the Green House”  (or “the Howard Hughes House”) from its current location to the Clark County Museum, 18 miles away in Henderson, due to its historic significance.

The house has been identified over the years in dozens of news stories by KLAS-TV, Las Vegas’ CBS affiliate station, as the former home of the eccentric billionaire during the eight months he resided in Las Vegas from 1953 to 1954.
