  • Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #687
    Date of adventure: 12/17/22
    Dreams really do come true -- I FINALLY got invited to a party at the world-famous underground house in Las Vegas! I drove all the way out from Death Valley for this...and was it worth it? Spoiler alert: YES!!!
    This 15,000-sq ft underground house is 26 feet below street level, and was built in 1978 by a businessman and philanthropist named Jerry Henderson, who lived in it until his death in 1983. Most of the decor has remained unchanged since then -- it's like a time capsule. Check it out!!

    The original owner also built and lived in an underground home in Colorado. The house in Colorado is 45,000 square feet. The Las Vegas house was purchased in 2014 for $1.15 million dollars. The owner is the Society for the Preservation of Near Extinct Species, a seld-described group whose goal is to promote human life extension. Maybe that's why there was a cryogenic container, and all the printed materials around the house.

    I shot a half a dozen Weddings in the Underground House during the 80's and 90's. Neat place! The story of the original owners makes it even more NEAT. Caliche makes any basement in Vegas a RARITY. There are a rare few. THANKS FOR THE TOUR... BRINGS BACK FOND MEMORIES.

    The difference between the IKEA store offerings and the underground house decor shows how far interior design has sunk in making a house a home over the decades. You certainly won't find any nude girl mural tiles in IKEA - more's the pity as they're a late addition to my Xmas list.

    Sarah... I've known about this place for a long time and driven past it countless times. I'm such a Cold War facilities fan. I have seen all the standard, old pics of this place but your video is so fun and such a revelation! Thank you! You're awesome as always. I'm still in Utah and have some great places we could camp. Get with me on your next Tour of the Southwest. Anyway, Thanks again for your outstanding tour of this Vegas enigma... you're always the best, Happy New Year!

    I think that gas grill was a Jennaire and it’s electrical. There’s an exhaust fan in the middle that does need to be vented outside.

    • @markpashia7067
      @markpashia7067 Před rokem

      Yes it was. The smoke and such is sucked down into vents that go down into the cabinet below and then out the back into the chimney to go upward. They were all the rage back when this was built. That way you do not need a vent hood above to catch the smoke and fumes.

    I'm happy to see it, and even happier that you got to see it in person. Nobody would have been more deserving or appreciative of the invitation. I'm wondering if the "caretaker" might just be the owner not wanting to reveal himself as such. In any case, very generous of him to host a party there and let you wander.

    I love all that kitsch! Cryogenic chamber! Dog head from Egypt! And so much more VERY COOL stuff. Not to mention a beautiful home. FIVE STARS for you. Keep up the great work!

The Yucca. A once famous watering hole before we purchased it. Humphrey Bogart once dined and imbibed there! Now, alas, it is no more....
