The Last Blockbuster Video is Now an Airbnb That You Can Stay in For $4 a Night
The last Blockbuster Video store standing is located in Bend, Oregon and it’s now been placed on Airbnb so that people can stay there and have a retro movie night! For only $4 a night, four guests can rent out the last Blockbuster, where a living-room is set up in the middle of the store for guests to hang out in.
Anyone staying here has the entire run of the store from check-in to check-out. This offer is only available for three nights, so you might want to try and jump on setting up a reservation as soon as you can. The rental period is opening up on August 17 at 1:00 PM PT with the option to book a one-night stay that will take place on August 18th, August 19th, or August 20th. Here are the details:
Whether you want to stay up until sunrise or pass out on the couch, we’ve created the perfect space complete with a pull-out couch, bean bags and pillows for you to cozy up with “new releases” from the ‘90s. Crack open a two-liter of Pepsi before locking into a video game, charting your future in a game of MASH, or watching movie after movie. But be wary of reciting “Bloody Mary” in the staff bathroom off of the break room, as you just may summon the ghost rumored to haunt the store. And help yourself to some NERDS, Raisinets and popcorn (heavy on the butter), but make sure you save room for a couple slices. And remember, the store is all yours for the night! So let loose, blast the boombox and wear your favorite ‘90s denim so that you feel right at home in another era.
If I lived in Bend, Oregon I’d try to get in on this action! It seems like it could be a lot of fun! I grew up spending a lot of time at Blockbuster Video. I miss those times but now you can relive the glory days of renting VHS tapes and DVDs and bask in nostalgia thanks to the last Blockbuster store that is running.
So, if you can, make it a Blockbuster night!
