INSIDE MY *FINISHED* CUSTOM BUILT LAS VEGAS HOME TOUR!

·Nov 7, 2024

What's up guys, it's Graham here! So, for those who don't know, about eight months ago I relocated from Los Angeles over to Las Vegas. In the process, I put down a deposit on the home you're about to see today. Now, back then, I gave a tour of the unfinished property while it was still under construction. I then gave an update video once the furniture arrived, but there was a problem. In the previous video, the home was not done yet, and half the house was unfinished. It's been a perpetual work in progress until today.

After seven months of patiently waiting, I'm really excited to show you the final finished house tour now that everything is completely done. I'll be showing you a complete before and after, so you can see all the work that was done along the way, because I gotta say, there have been a lot of changes made here that you will be seeing now for the first time.

[Music] Thank you! So, we'll start off with the outside of the home so we can get some of the basic stats out of the way. The home itself is just over 3,800 square feet, four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and two offices. When I was first showing this area, it was a complete construction mess, and they hadn't even installed the brick along the driveway. But now, as you can see, everything is done! The landscape went in, and at night, we have a few lights that turn the house into a spaceship. But I digress, come inside! Just make sure to smile for the camera.

Well, when we first moved in, this entry was completely empty. The tile floors had just been installed, and it was a completely blank canvas with these massive 25-foot ceilings. But now, all the work is done, and it's absolutely perfect! I absolutely love that when you walk in, this is the main focal point. It's a 310-gallon reef aquarium put together by Infinity Aquariums, and it's my total pride and joy. Even Top Shelf Aquatics was also kind enough to send over a whole bunch of fish and coral. My first boss, Chris, recently came over and sent me all these snails and hermit crabs from Worldwide Corals.

Now, I'm probably talking too much about the aquarium at this point, and I know you came for a house tour. So if you want more aquarium content, just let me know, and I will include it in future videos! But overall, the entire entry was designed to make a statement, and that's why we accented two of the walls in black and installed the hanging light fixture from the ceiling.

Then we move on to the kitchen. Originally, when I first posted about the kitchen, it was a completely massive open space with a huge center island, waterfall countertops, and tall ceilings. But now, it's completely transformed into this. The first item we got to address is the refrigerator. Now, originally, I waited until Black Friday to get a really good deal on a KitchenAid refrigerator that would perfectly fit this space, and it was scheduled to arrive within about two to three weeks. But little did I know that appliances were about to be on a severe backorder due to inventory and supply chain issues.

So for the last six months, we've been improvising with a small mini refrigerator from Amazon, and we somehow made that work for three people. But just recently, after a half a year of waiting, the original refrigerator was delivered, and now the kitchen is finally complete! Now, next to the refrigerator, we got more counter space, along with some champagne, pain, and decorative candies. Behind that, we have the pantry. Again, at first, I was worried this would be too big and there would be no possible way to fill it all up, but somehow we've managed. And when people come over and they bring stuff that we don't end up using, it just kind of winds up here.

We keep it on this side; I'm building up a mini book collection. In fact, all of these books were sent to us by subscribers to the P.O. Box, and at some point, I do plan to go through all of them. And right after I go and make some coffee, now for sale at bankrollcoffee.com! Yeah, seriously, I just came out with my own coffee now for sale at bankrollcoffee.com, and I am surprised at how quickly we nearly sold out. We sold almost 10,000 bags of coffee in just over two weeks, which is incredible!

I'm also a stickler for making coffee, so we got a Keurig for anybody who wants to make coffee fast. Then we got the Ninja coffee maker that I prefer, and we have a third coffee maker on the other side of the house, which I'll show you shortly because that one is kind of crazy. The Wolf appliances also came included in the house, and I have to say this thing is incredible! I've never had anything with red knobs before, and even though Macy does most of the cooking, I could certainly appreciate the craftsmanship.

Then over here, we have the bane of my existence. Instead of having the candy walls like some of these mega mansions have, we got the budget version of that with candy jars. Oh please, can I have one? No, five cents! You could take one! After that, we have one of my favorite designs in the entire house. Before, this was just a completely open space, and then we decided to paint the wall black to accent the room along with a huge custom neon sign to smash the like button for the YouTube algorithm. Below that, though, I got a Mario piece of art that I purchased from an art dealer who was moving out of the state and needed to sell everything.

He offered this to me at such a good price that I couldn't turn it down! Next to it, though, we got a bar cart that was just recently brought over from the Educated Barfly as a housewarming gift, and he brought over everything that we would need to make some really delicious mixed iced coffees. The Dave Ramsey cutout was given to us by a subscriber, and he just constantly moves around the house and says new things. Fun story, but this was actually posted on Eclipse's channel from an Instagram story, and Dave Ramsey actually commented on it! So Dave Ramsey, I'm honored that you're in the house, and you can come and stay anytime.

Finally, for the dining area, we got this really cool industrial wooden table topped off with a bull centerpiece from Costco. Then, speaking of alcohol that we don't drink, my friend Kevin was kind enough to give me a Tesla to kill as a birthday present because he knows how much I like Tesla.

Now we got the large living room over here. Again, here's what it looked like before we moved in, and after a lot of work, here’s what it looks like today. Now at the far end, we got the grand piano. I mentioned this before in a previous video, but this is something I have always wanted because ever since growing up as a kid, my mom had an upright piano passed down from family, and I would play it all the time. I don't talk about it too often, but I really enjoy playing the piano, and this is something I’d like to try to make some more time for.

Then behind that, we have this entire wall painted black as an accent. I understand that this is not everyone's taste, but I really wanted to make a bold statement, and this entire wall was just a blank canvas to do something outrageous on. So we built this huge centerpiece out of three by three-foot frames with the YouTube play button right in the middle. Now this is really one of those things where if you don't know YouTube, this just looks like a cool design. But if you are into YouTube, then you get it.

Plus, doing this was not expensive at all; they're just normal three by three-foot glass frames, a quick computer mock-up printed out on glossy paper, and that's it! Now next to the piano, it's really hard not to notice these two enormous bottles of Ace of Spades, which by the way, has the same retail value as a car. Both of these were given to me by a close friend, Anthony's garage, as a housewarming gift.

The champagne has definitely gone bad by now, and there's no way it's safe to drink, but honestly, I enjoy having it here, and this bottle is pretty much like a work of art. Next to that, we have an almost 90-inch TV, which looks almost like a normal-sized TV compared to how big of a wall it's mounted to. But we tend to use this anytime we have guests over, and we're watching a Pokémon unboxing or a boxing match. Basically anytime Logan Paul does something, we watch it here on the TV.

I've never had a house before that was big enough to actually entertain people, so it's been so nice to be able to invite people over, and then I never have to leave the house. Finally, we got a fireplace below that with LED lights to change colors. In the summer, this is definitely not something that we use because it pulls heat from the flames and then pumps it out through the vents at the top. But when it's colder outside and not 115 degrees, it's something we like to use often.

But before we leave the living room, it's hard not to ignore this bright orange couch. This is something I never imagined would work in a room like this, but once we started looking through design ideas, the orange couch came into discussion, and we thought it was crazy enough to actually work. It's just a fun, playful vibe. The couch is insanely comfortable, and it reminds me of that 90s Nickelodeon couch that I used to watch when I was younger.

We also went with a more eclectic rug underneath, with a circular coffee table and accent chair. Overall, I think it ties the room together extremely nicely, and this is a fun place to hang out on the weekends. But before we go into the other bedrooms, we got this bonus room right here. Here's what it looked like before, and then more recently it now looks like this.

Now what's really cool about this is that this is a Murphy bed, so we could pull it down as needed. Then during any other time, Macy could use this as her office. We're also in the process right now of installing a door across this wall so we can close it off as needed instead of using a green screen to temporarily close it off. Then down this hallway, we have one of my all-time favorite pieces! It's an uncut fossil sheet of hollow Pokémon cards. These sheets came from a KB Toys giveaway in 1999, and I'm not sure how many of these were given out, but this one came in near perfect condition. Every single time I walk by it, it’s just really cool to look at!

Now across from that, we got the typical guest bathroom with a limestone accent wall in the back, which then connects to a mudroom that leads to the two-car garage. I think this is slowly turning into another aquarium room because we've installed the reverse osmosis unit that filters water into a 90-gallon reservoir and then into a 40-gallon Rubbermaid container for water changes. And then on this side, we have this really cool futuristic contraption made specifically for Amazon boxes, and it notifies you when there's a package.

Open it up, and oh look at this! We got meal replacements with fuel. Then as we walk towards the other side of the house, we got the main bedroom. Over here on the left, we have two walk-in closets with barn doors that close them off, and then we have an oversized bathroom that’s just insanely big! Here’s what it used to look like before the home was completed, and now everything is completely finished, including blackout curtains which we didn't have before.

Now in my previous video, I mentioned that this is such a terrible design because it ends up splashing water everywhere. By the time the water actually hits you, it’s kind of cooled off. I did some research, and as it turns out, you can manually override the water heater and turn the heat all the way up to 140 degrees, and that's what I did! Then to go over the rest of the bathroom, we have two sinks with marble countertops, a full-sized mirror, and then on this side, we got an enormous bathtub that our lovely neighbors can look right into.

As you walk into the bedroom itself, you'll notice that we did a brick veneer against the back wall that might look kind of familiar because it's the exact same brick veneer that I used in my Los Angeles studio. It’s the exact same brick veneer that you're about to see in the garage. Anyway, we got a queen-size bed with two floor-to-ceiling nightstands on either end. We got a full-size dresser that runs the length of the wall, and we got a TV that happens to look disproportionately small for the wall!

Then as we continue down the hallway, we got the laundry room. Now here's the thing: the laundry room was way too big; it was like the size of a small bedroom! We didn't do enough laundry to justify all of this space, so instead, when we hired Alex to come and help on the channel, he wanted to use this as his office. So come on in! We dual purposed the space.

Oh hey, what you working on? Videos! Which video? So I got the setup here, got the custom Jack Selby mouse pad I made myself here, got a mic for voiceovers, just a few things to edit videos, and I keep all my equipment here on the other side. Then on this side, we have Jack's editing room where he finishes all the videos for the second channel, The Graham Stephan Show. And this is what it looks like now.

What are you doing Jack? Uh, working on... what? Bye! This is still a work in progress, but within about two months, all of this should be finished and used exclusively for our podcast, The Iced Coffee Hour. We got a handmade wooden table being delivered in the next few weeks. It's going to be coming out from this wall right here, with some art right above it, and then maybe some other trinkets on either side to add to the shot.

Now you also might notice the ceiling. That was a failed attempt to use spray adhesive to glue foam padding for sound deadening, and within a few days, they all started dropping off one by one. Then across from that, we got Jack's room. Here's what it used to look like before, and now here's what it looks like today. Finally, we got the brand new finished office. Here's what it looks like before we closed on the house, and now here's what it looks like today.

Now, as you walk in, you're going to notice the third coffee maker, compliments of Terra Cafe, and I gotta say this one is absolutely incredible! You pour the beans in from the top, you press a button, and within seconds, a fresh coffee is made. Below that, you might notice something familiar; it's the mini Amazon refrigerator that we used to use in the kitchen. I just threw it down here and made the case filled it up with some coffee creamer and flavored waters for when I don’t want to walk to the kitchen.

Then from there, we have a couch that I'm able to do most of my editing on, and it also doubles as the podcast studio for The Iced Coffee Hour. I then accented that with an aviation drawer to match the desk, along with a cheap light off Amazon that you just touch to turn off and on. I also bought several of these spotlights from Amazon and placed them around the room so that way on camera, it gives a little bit more depth.

We also have these really thick soundproof curtains throughout the entire room to block out any of the echo and completely block out the light. So that when all of these are closed up, you're pretty much in complete silence. Then on this side of the wall, we got the whole desk setup with the lights, the dinosaur skull, and the posters in the back. I'm really happy to have more space than my previous spot in LA, and it's so nice to be able to work and edit and film all in the same room.

Finally, we got the one-car garage in the back. I have the same brick veneer installed throughout the entire back wall, and then I placed more of these spotlights behind the car so that when you turn them on, it helps accentuate the space. In my previous video, I talked about really wanting a Ford GT and lo and behold, we made it happen! This is a 2005 Ford GT with 7,500 miles, all four options, and to me, this is like a work of art on wheels.

I wanted to make this as much of a centerpiece as possible, so I installed a few pictures of the original GT40 Le Mans race in the 1960s and hung some Edison lights above to add a little bit more light to the space and really highlight this car as a background. Lastly, we got the backyard! This was in a constant state of construction mess for the last six months, but here's what it looked like before, and now here's what it looks like today.

Now, I will admit, I did make a bit of a mistake when I picked out the materials for the pool. I thought the gray tile was supposed to be around the pool, which would then match the flooring in the living room, and then the white marble would be for the inlays. But either they switched them by mistake or I picked the wrong combination of the two, and they ended up being opposite of what I thought.

You pretty much have to wear sunglasses anytime you're outside, but on the bright side, pun intended, at least the white doesn't get too hot in the heat, and you can actually kind of stand out here, so there is that! This also has a waterfall feature that brings out water from the top, and then right below that is a fire pit that we just turned on for the first time the other night, and this is what it looks like.

Then at night, we've got these really cool spotlights that automatically turn on, and it illuminates the entire backyard while creating such a cool atmosphere in the middle of the desert. On this side, we got a Jacuzzi, more seating, and a faux grass finish for Bailey to go to the bathroom on. Now, I didn't really realize how much direct sunlight this entire backyard gets, so I'm working on building a canopy over here to give us some sort of shade.

Because I gotta say, like after 1 or 2 PM, this entire backyard gets so hot, and it's pretty much unusable with no shade, so this is the next thing we're working on. These doors also open up all the way, so it's perfect if you want to get a ton of indoor-outdoor space. But you know what? It's so hot outside, I'm gonna keep this closed.

So that is the final house tour, and all that's left to be finished is the podcast room! So if you want to see what that looks like over the next few months as that gets done, go and add The Iced Coffee Hour podcast on YouTube. And also feel free to add the family vlog channel; we post a lot of behind-the-scenes content there. The link is going to be down below in the description.

So with that said, you guys, thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate it. As always, make sure to destroy the like button, subscribe button, and notification bell. Also, feel free to add me on Instagram; I post pretty much daily, so if you want to be a part of it there, feel free to add me there as my second channel, The Graham Stephan Show. I post there every single day I'm not posting here, so if you want to see a brand new video from me every single day, make sure to add yourself to that.

Thank you so much for watching, and until next time!
