For 30 years, Dean Martin was among the most popular acts in Las Vegas. From his partnership with Jerry Lewis, when he was part of the Rat Pack with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis and Joey Bishop in films, television and recordings, he was always the smooth, crooner with a drink in his hand, ad libbing with the audience and the band. Always giving the impression of a womanizer and a heavy boozer, the truth was that he was neither in his private life. Martin was a family man who, when not performing, was usually home with his wife and children. He was an attentive father and close to his kids, many of whom worked with him in various capacities in later years. Two members of the Rat Pack, Sinatra and Davis, who often appeared with Martin in Las Vegas, led totally opposite lives, according to the lurid details as spelled out in Paul Anka’s book, "My Way," where Martin was never mentioned in the same context.

When preparing his Las Vegas shows, Martin worked with composer John Lucas at the piano in the living room of this house with its stunning view of Hollywood and Sunset Strip below. It had to inspire them both while looking down on the town that held their hopes, dreams and success. Built in 1957 and now for sale, this 5,376-square-foot home with the staggering view is at the end of a private cul de sac. It features four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a master suite with private terrace and spa, chef’s kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, granite, 148-bottle wine cooler, indoor BBQ and a large island with prep station. Rooms have 14-foot glass walls with 270-degree views from downtown to the Pacific Ocean. There are two fireplaces, a step-down living area with custom built-ins, flat screen TV and bar, the lower level has a swimming pool with waterfall overlooking the view, a fitness center, 6-person steam room and 8-person sauna. There is a high-tech audio-video system, electric blinds and automated Lutron light system and a one-bedroom, one-bath guest apartment with kitchen and separate entry.

The home where Dean Martin and John Lucas composed Martin’s Las Vegas shows, high above and overlooking Sunset Boulevard to the ocean. Priced at $7.29 million.
