Has anyobdy ever seen this house?

Yes! A few years back, maybe 2005 or so while spending a week in Vegas. My wife and I kind of stumbled upon this house and I always wondered what the story was. We were working our way back to the Marriott Grand Chateau on Harmon just east of the strip from Green Valley Ranch using side streets because we were looking at strip malls for a Supercuts or Great Clips for my bi-monthly haircut, lol. Then, as we were approaching Flamingo from the south, out of the corner of my eye to the left I see some monstrosity of a structure in what would be just an ordinary neighborhood a block to the west of Sandhill. My wife is like, "What the hell are you doing?" as I'm spinning a 180 in the middle of Sandhill in her brand new Cadillac CTS-v to backtrack. The house had an almost magnetic pull on me as we made a quick right then a slow left and gazed upon what had to be the most surprising sight I've ever seen on a residential street. All we could think is: thank god he's not our neighbor!

This house is a must see for anyone that is amused by the unusual.
