I can’t believe that after all this time, Siegfried & Roy’s mansion in Las Vegas, Nevada is on the market for sale. (I wonder what happened to their tigers.) The main house has 2bd. 4ba., but there’s a casita w/a cabana and 3 guest houses with 2 & 3 bds. also on the property. For sale for $3M.
The mansion, called Jungle Palace, appears to have a Spanish Mission style on the exterior. The 2 entertainers apparently lived in separate homes on the property, which was built in 1954.
Weren’t their white tigers allowed to roam freely in the house? (Why do I feel that it could be haunted?)
Roy Horn lived in this house and Siegfried lived in a mid-century modern style house on the property.
Their extensive collection of furnishings is on the auction block, and the property has been on the market since last year.
Siegfried‘s vision for the white tigers was something Bavarian- green & rocky, but Roy wanted to give them an environment where everything was snow white and they had endless arguments about it.
Look at the ceiling. The bar has a big coffee machine- at least I think that’s what it is.
Roy’s house is pretty white, though. Look at the dining room.
A hot tub in the corner of the dining room.
Library/office. Gee, they even have their initials in the stained glass windows.
Look at the big wine fridge.
Wow, the kitchen is very white. Like the curved cabinets and that shiny stainless exhaust hood.
Even Roy’s bed has his initial on it. Like the elephant feature wall.
Wow, a black en-suite w/a red tub and sink.
This must be the bird room. Roy had pet birds.
Here’s a moody room. Looks like an office.
Wow, look at the trees on the stairs. I can’t stop saying wow.
Here’s a big jungle themed bath.
This is nice, it’s like a cabana.
This is clearly the white tiger’s enclosure. How did they keep it so clean? This would be great for regular cats- they would really enjoy this.
Here we have a tanning room.
I think this is the tiger’s pool.
And, this is the human’s pool.
Here’s a nice big patio.
Looks like a water feature.
Wow, look at this.
You know, this is a bargain for $3M. The place is gigantic.
More tiger enclosures.
This must be Siegfried’s MCM house.
Look at it. How many pools are there? I counted 6.

How young and dapper they looked! Program from 1982. You can own one if you are so inclined for $20-$30 online.
Here’s how they looked before Siegfried died of pancreatic cancer in 2021 and Roy died of Covid in 2020:

Siegfried & Roy worked with MJ on creating illusions for his show. In return, MJ wrote their theme song, "The Might in the Magic." A tape of him performing the song opened the duo's future shows.

'Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness - and our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the ones who were being brainwashed to believe. The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they are selling - their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability. Remember this: We be many and they be few. Another world is not possible, She is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing." -Arundhati Roy.
Siegfried Zademack, artist

I started drawing this picture of Siegfried and Roy about a year and a half ago, and I never liked it, so I redrew and recolored it many times, until I decided to just finish it a few days ago.

Why is The Simpsons always correctly predicting the future?
The perceived instances of The Simpsons predicting the future are often coincidences or instances where the show's satirical and humorous take on real-world events unintentionally aligns with later occurrences. It's important to note that the show's predictions are not intentional forecasts but rather a product of creative storytelling and satire.
The Simpsons has been on the air for many years, producing a vast number of episodes that touch upon various aspects of contemporary culture and global events. Some predictions may appear accurate due to chance or the show tapping into recurring themes that reflect societal concerns.
In reality, predicting specific future events is highly improbable, and any apparent predictions from "The Simpsons" are more likely coincidences rather than intentional foresight.
