Photographer Alastair Philip Wiper recently got the chance to visit a unique underground house in Las Vegas that doubles as a nuclear bunker. It was originally built by multi-millionaire Jerry Henderson and his wife in the late 1970s, complete with a pool, sauna, bar area, BBQ, putting green, pool table, grand piano, fountain, as well as a guesthouse.
The 15,000-square-feet of space was decorated as if it were above ground, including artificial trees, rock-like pieces, lighting to simulate the different hours in a day, and painted scenery to resemble memorable scenes in Henderson’s life. The coolest part? You’ll find the entrance to the underground house via an elevator from the house upstairs.

This would be a dream place to live during the apocalypse — at least, better than any other bunker I have ever seen. You need to have a penchant for over-the-top kitsch, insane color combinations and James Bond-villain-lair aesthetics. Which I do,” said Wiper to PetaPixel.
