Hey, KWON...
That underground house is near Flamingo Road, Las Vegas was built as a spacious Cold War bunker, to keep people alive and entertained in case the Soviets wiped out Las Vegas with a nuclear missile strike.
A mysterious group calling itself the Society for the Preservation of Near Extinct Species bought the house at 3970 Spencer St. for $1.15 million.
It’s unclear what the group plans to do with it, and if its name is a joke or symbolic of some kind of ideology.
The two-bedroom, three-bathroom underground home might be the most peculiar in Las Vegas. Built beneath a typical, suburban two-story house, the bunker home spans more than 5,000 square feet and is part of a 15,200-square-foot basement that also features a casita.
It has a four-hole putting green, a swimming pool, two jacuzzis, a sauna, a dance floor with a small stage, a bar, a barbecue and huge murals of rural, tranquil settings.
The home, with unchanged “Brady Bunch” decor, also has a laundry room, a kitchen, a fireplace, a generator, fake trees, fake flowers, two elevators, fire alarm bells, smoke detectors, an intercom system and several large pantries.
Light switches labeled “Sunset,” “Day,” “Dusk” and “Night” mimic lighting conditions at those times by dimming or brightening lights and stars on the ceiling, which is painted sky blue with white clouds.
