As diverse and stylish as Las Vegas itself, are the homeowners at MIRA VILLA in Summerlin, Nevada. The luxury condominium community is enticing to people of sophisticated, yet differing styles and tastes, who share the common thread of pursuing their lives with passion and vision.

“It’s evidenced by the design of their homes,” says Cherie LaRose DeLisle, founder of the Las Vegas and Santa Barbara-based interior design firm, Cherie’s Design. “I’ve completed three interior design projects at MIRA VILLA and am currently working on another three; each is completely in its own realm of design, and all are amazing in and of themselves. My clients at MIRA VILLA approach these spacious condominiums as blank canvases to create living spaces unique to their personalities, character and lifestyle.”

DeLisle is a certified interior designer with more than 18 years of experience in hospitality, residential and commercial interior design. She says that the designs at MIRA VILLA vary from “conservative contemporary” to “casino-influenced.” Many are playful in their decor or draw on the age and active lifestyles of their owners.

“My MIRA VILLA clients know what they want. One home is a sanctuary—a welcoming, relaxing retreat from a demanding career; another is laid out with guests’ entertainment in mind; another draws on many of the design elements used in Red Rock Casino, giving it a definitive Las Vegas feel. Many of the condominiums have outstanding nighttime views of the Las Vegas Strip—a play of light sparkling in the distance that is truly beautiful. In the daytime, the surrounding golf courses, framed by the Red Rock Mountains, create a feeling of open space. Both views draw the outside in nicely.”

DeLisle’s experience with MIRA VILLA started with a single owner who hired her to design the interior of their home and since she’s continued to be referred to other owners by her past MIRA VILLA clients. She notes that if she begins consulting with a new owner when their MIRA VILLA home goes into escrow, she can usually have their interior projects completed two to three months after closing.

“This is a very special place, attracting buyers who know what they want. They typically have their own design palate and vision in mind and hire me to implement it, knowing that the finished design will be to their expectations without the hassle of doing it themselves,” adds DeLisle.

MIRA VILLA owners Larry and Judy Shiffman have owned a home in Las Vegas since 1989. Initially it was a condominium, then a single family home and a little more than a year ago they returned to the ease of condominium living with the purchase of their MIRA VILLA condominium, located in Summerlin.

“We have a passion for travel and living at MIRA VILLA gives us the freedom to pursue it without worrying about what’s happening at home,” says Mr. Shiffman, a retired property manager for 45 years. “We lock the door and leave. Maintenance is all taken care of and when we get home it’s just as it was when we left.”

In addition the Shiffman’s find that Summerlin, with its close proximity to McCarran International Airport, provides a perfect jumping off point for their international and domestic travels-which include Italy, Canada and Australia in the near future.

“MIRA VILLA is roughly 20 miles from the international airport. It would be hard to find place a better than MIRA VILLA to begin and end your travels,” adds Mr. Shiffman. “I don’t concern myself with the security of our home, cleaning the pool, mowing and watering the grass or any of the things that I would if I still owned a single family home. It’s all handled and we are free to chase our passions.”

Looking to enjoy a beautiful day outside with other Summerlin community members? Head over to Red Rock Canyon for a hike of the North Loop and Wild Horse Canyon Trail.
The hike is 3.5 miles and mostly shaded.  The trail will take you up approximately 900
feet with a beautiful meadow and spectacular views of distant mountain ranges, at the top.  You will return through a forested canyon which was once home to wild horses.  The hike is a great way to get some exercise and appreciate the beautiful Red Rock Canyon right in our backyard.

If you still have some energy after the hike, join other volunteers for Canyon Clean Day.  This is an all ages event and a wonderful way to meet new people and keep the canyons clean for generations to come.
