Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in an underground home originally built as a bomb shelter?
In 1978, businessman and Avon Cosmetics executive Girard Henderson built one of the most luxurious doomsday bunkers in Las Vegas — years after Americans were scrambling to find safe shelter during the Cold War and Cuban Missile Crisis in the 1950s and ’60s.
