Tasteful Friends - A reasonably priced house of horrors in Las Vegas

Link here

The total Vegas Experience house, for those who like that sort of thing.

Has to be the kitschiest house that ever kitsched. 'Nuff said.

I can't decode some of the semiotics. What are the referents in this room?

R4 It reminds me of some levels in the old video game "Doom" or at least some kind of low-res video game from the last century.

Thank you R5.

I love the minimal desert landscaping.

It seems on-brand for my stereotypical view of Vegas. Is there a victim of a mob hit buried in the foundations?

Doesn't look mobbed up in the least. It's the little fantasy home of a nerdish guy who is kind to his family. The goth kid got a gothy bedroom but the other kid wanted something conventional. Mom's makeup vanity is from another house entirely.

Does Siegfried's estate know that Roy is selling their first home?

Words escape me.

If you're going for a theme, you've got to commit. This guy is probably committed.

What's most interesting - or amazing - is that it actually sold for HIGHER than listing.

I've gotta believe it was a negotiated give-back (covers closing costs in the mortgage) rather than a multitude of competing buyers.

Then again, it IS Vegas.

What in the world...?

Needs a bit of a face lift.

It's it illegal to sell a meth house?

Aren't meth houses suppose to be torn down? Bio hazard?

Sorry, double post. ^

Aaarrrgghhhh.

Not even cute kitsch. Why didn’t they just buy a boat on Lake Meade?

Now that is gaudy, even by Las Vegas standards.

R14 Yes that struck me too, and even more astonishing is that the price it was listed for wasnt below market for the area, which I would have expected given how... special it was. Maybe the vendor just struck it really lucky and found a purchaser whose very specific and bizarre tastes matched theirs perfectly

Were the inhabitants Psychotic? Serious Question.

Could it have been a themed Airbnb? It isn't particularly close to the strip, but it isn't that far either.

Is that astroturf in the bedroom?

The street view seems quite conventional. I'm guessing the "ship's hold" interior is just paneling which could be replaced without too much difficulty.

He should have splurged and added a crow's nest.

The guy and his family had fun with their house. Keelhaul them.

Yeah some of you are reading such nefarious intent into a decor that looks tacky, fun yet ugly, and mostly naive and inept, to me.

It looks like it was designed by an operatic set designer for a hypnotic production of The Flying Dutchman.

How far is this house from the strip? Is Las Vegas an ok place to live?

MY EYES!

Long John Silver cosplay whorehouse. Comes with parrot.

Skipper was never the same after he was rescued from the island.

Were the people who did that place up like that theme park workers?

I kind of love it
