Asking price for the 7,000-square-foot, five-bedroom home in the upscale southwestern Las Vegas golf course community is $6.5 million.

Gallin was hired last June to head the new Mirage division, called Mirage Entertainment & Sports Inc., as part of company Chairman Steve Wynn's plans to expand its entertainment menu.

Gallin, a principal in the Hollywood talent agency Gallin-Morey Associates, has represented some of the entertainment world's biggest stars, including Barbara Streisand, Richard Pryor, Neil Diamond and Dolly Parton.

Wynn lured the 57-year-old Gallin to Las Vegas with a seven-figure salary and the chance to create new forms of entertainment for Mirage. Gallin has been a frequent visitor to New York, where he has been looking at Broadway shows and other entertainment that might fit into Wynn's visions for Mirage and its newest Las Vegas resort, Bellagio.

Gallin said observers shouldn't read anything into the news because he buys and sells homes regularly as a hobby.
