READ: Barry Shulman Is Auctioning Off His Penthouse
With two WSOP bracelets and both a World Poker Tour and a European Poker Tour final table appearance, Barry Shulman has made his name in the poker world.
Add to it that he��s also the publisher of CardPlayer Magazine and poker is practically a family affair and that statement rings true.
Well, this poker professional who still plays at 70 years old, mind you, is auctioning off his ��Versailles Penthouse�� in Las Vegas. What could become a sweet bachelor pad last sold for $4.88 million, according to Concierge Auctions.
But what really sends this 5,467-square-foot penthouse at 360 E Desert Inn Road over the top is the fact that it��s 18K gold gilded with elegant French interiors, a theatre and bar, extravagant views of the city, a 2,000-square-foot wraparound deck, jacuzzi (and fountain) and, oh yeah, the concierge service.
If all that luxury doesn��t meet your fancy, just wait, there��s more. Maybe these photos can give you an idea.

The three-bedroom, six-bath penthouse has been on the market for just over 19 days. According to National Post, the design and name are no accident; they were inspired by the palace they visited on their honeymoon and returned to the U.S. to create it.
As it is listed, this penthouse looks particularly Baroque with 30-plus feet ceilings, wall sconces, fixtures, lighting and Roman drapes. The kitchen, with Viking appliances, is trimmed in gold leaf and the closet looks as large as a San Diego apartment. A marble staircase brings this masterpiece together, accompanied by the chandelier imported from France.
The sale only brings the ever-important question for Mr. Shulman himself, Why sell this beaut? Baroque?
