The Cold War Bunker That Offered Subterranean Suburbia Below Las Vegas The real estate listing for 3970 Spencer St. shows a foreclosed two-bedroom on a suburban street east of the Las Vegas Strip. That's nothing remarkable in Vegas, which has one of the highest foreclosure rates in the country, but this house is special: It's 25 feet underground. A high-end fallout shelter built in secret, it's a small monument to the Cold War—as well as the dream of post-War suburbia in the American west. Accessed through a shed or cave on the site of the unremarkable vacant lot above it, 3970 Spencer boasts all the comforts of suburban life in Las Vegas, circa the late 1960s: A heated pool (with a water fountain), a four-hole putting course, jacuzzis, a bar, and a dance floor.

Just above them, a thick concrete shell protects this perfect suburban simulacra from impending nuclear doom.
