A real estate agent in Las Vegas is having a hard time selling a $6 million house that has extra special amenities to it.
According to SFGate, an online publication that writes about news, culture and more in San Francisco, reported about an "underground swinger house" located right in the valley.
Now, swinging parties are not a new concept in Las Vegas. In fact, there are still a few swinger clubs (Green Door, Red Rooster Las Vegas, etc.) and "swinger events." But, an underground club concealed by a normal looking Henderson home is something that's from a movie.
According to the listing, the home is located at 3970 Spencer St Las Vegas, NV 89119. Before it was a "swinger's paradise," it appeared to be an underground bunker that resembled a bomb shelter, according to Fox News.
The Fox News article, which was published in 2020, said, "The 23-to-26-foot deep bunker built in 1978 could be a fit for a family who wants added security or could even become a potential underground nightclub if the neighborhood allowed such a business venture."
When Did The Bomb Shelter Turn Into A Swinger House?
SF Gate reports that in 2014, the Society for the Preservation of Near Extinct Species purchased the property.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal wrote an article about this home when the Society for the Preservation of Near Extinct Species bought the home.
"The new owner is the Society for the Preservation of Near Extinct Species, a self-described secretive group whose goal is to promote of human life extension," The Review-Journal reported.
Stephan LaForge, the house's listing agent, said that a potential buyer was thinking about turning the home into a swinger's club. However, the potential buyer "couldn't come up with the money," LaForge said.
According to the home's listing, some of the amenities include, "an indoor, underground, pool/spa Waterfalls, house, guest house, yard space, trees and views all in your chosen temperature setting 365 days a year. This huge 14,000sf underground party palace is secure, hidden, private and soundproof."
LaForge says that the home is hard to sell because, "It’s difficult to sell a house when you can’t compare its value to those of other homes in the area."
Despite the gimmick nature of the home, it does look fabulous. The furniture looks retro, and it's quite remarkable to think about the construction hat went behind this.

Take In The Best Views Of Las Vegas
The one thing we can all agree on is that we have a very unique skyline. But where are those places to take in the best views of Las Vegas? Depending on what you're looking for, whether it be the strip, the overall view or with the mountains as the backdrop...you have quite the choice.
With The Mike & Carla Morning Show being apart of Las Vegas for decades, we think we are well versed when it comes to the best views of our city. And if you've lived here as well for as many years, you have a pretty good idea of where to direct people too. And then again, if you're coming in for the "Big Game", take notes and it's your first time, take notes!
What Are Some Of The Best Views Of The Strip?
For me, one of my favorites is just outside Boulder City driving north. Coming down 95, specially as the sun is setting, to see the entire city with the lights is amazing! Same could be said as you comeback from Southern California on the 15. About the same time, as you hit that curve, between the two mountains. It's just like in the movies...beautiful!
Closer to the city, you have a few choices as well. Depending on what you're looking for...especially for that perfect picture. And the time of day or night is a little more important. Me personally, I like the night time view of our Strip as a backdrop for a picture or just hanging out to take it all in!
If you're looking for a nice panoramic view, The Ghost Bar at The Palms or the Top of the Rio. Facing the Las Vegas Strip on the 51st and 52nd floors, it still offers one of the better views of the strip, down town and all around.
