Good news for the Fat Mike obsessed.  The NOFX front-man has opened up his Vegas vacation/party home to anybody’s who’s got the coin to rent it for a weekend.  No, this isn’t his primary residence.  It seems to be more the place where Fat Mike parties it up when he comes to the city of sin.

According to Mike, here’s why it’s so awesome:

“It has 3 bedrooms, but it sleeps 10 cuz one bedroom has 6 bunk beds. There’s a full kitchen, sunken living room with an even more sunken bar, poker table room, game room with pinball, record player with a shitload of records, a pool table, and walls covered in thousands of old school flyers that I’ve collected over the years. The outside has a salt water pool, a cave hot tub, a water slide, a tiki hut, and a 9-hole putting green. That’s a lot of cool shit… for a foreclosure.”

It actually sounds kinda awesome.  You can check out details and more pictures of the place here.
