some days I wish I could have one of these places... if you had the money what would you have?

Something like the lost bunkers.

One big central room with tunnels that lead of to five or six mini-rooms. I would want it about 100 feet underground and completely self supporting.

I want something like the x-man had. You know, the basketball court opens up and he comes out my gunship.

A Thunderbirds style island would be cool.
lol, the Death Star description is pretty cool-

The Death Star: If you're thinking going overboard when you build your secret lair, don't half-ass it. Once the scales are tipped, just go ahead and go balls out and pour your limitless funds and manpower into the construction of a base so big, it gets mistaken for a small moon. Add fleets of ships, massive armies, and trash-compactor monster, and a massive planet-destroying weapon, and you've got a base that'll make people **** their pants. Until some insolent farm boy comes and ****s with your ventilation system. Jackass.

Thunderbirds ftw! Which reminds me, check out any Gerry Anderson production. The bases in UFO would definitely qualify here.

In Xanadu did Khubla-Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree
Where Elph, the sacred river ran,
Trhough caverns, measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.

That was from memory, so don't giverme a hard time after you Google it and find a tiny mistake.

I'll take a tropical island villa complex with a mag-lev racing sled course through plexiglass tunnels to different domes: low tide, reef, and offshore to about 30M.

I googled "Trhough" and didn't get any hits! What am I doing wrong?
