It’s the most unique story Luxe Life has ever reported—and with our exclusive Scott Doctor photos it could only happen in Vegas! It may also be the most unusual auction item ever sold on E-Bay. Simply put, an injured Vegas man has put his entire life up for sale: his home, his blonde bombshell roommate, his cars and his prized possession of all—a vanity cell phone complete with showbiz star numbers and VIP nightclub managers guaranteeing easy entry at the hottest spots in town!

For real life truism its ten times better than any Hollywood screenwriter could dream up for a movie—and chances are it will be turned into one! The cast is mighty extraordinary and includes 22-year-old model Gina Teichert who once dated Mindfreak magician Criss Angel!

Our tantalizing tale starts with 45-year-old former Vegas Poker TV network executive Michael Grasso who tragically wound up badly injured in a fight last June 22 at the Treasures adult strip club here. Here’s his story from our exclusive weekend interview:

“I got beaten. I was knocked unconscious. I was cut up badly. It was a brutal attack. A guy bumped into me and even after I apologized he cursed me out. Then I remember nothing but the clubs’ employees told me they pulled four guys off me. They were over 6-feet and weighed over 200 pounds and said they were fighters and trainers. Apparently they’d been thrown out of Treasures twice before but the club said they snuck back in to reclaim their cell-phones.”

“The security bouncers held them outside in the parking lot and when I came to they got me to come out and identify them but they broke loose, knocked me unconscious a second time and got away. I had a broken nose and ribs, torn ligaments, fractures in my spine, a torn ACL in my knee, four badly screwed up nerve endings in my neck and a scratched cornea. I was in a wheelchair for a month and even now there are days when I just limp around unable to even drag my trash can to the street and need a neighbor to carry a saw for me. Its been very rough and I fall once a day when my knee gives way. I’m in bad shape and can’t do anything that requires any form of strength. I am totally unable to work. I cannot do anything physical and sometimes the neck pain is so severe I cannot walk or move. Even with Cortizone shots for my neck and back this has been an absolute nightmare.”

Worse Michael had no health insurance and so he’s already spent his $50,000 life savings—and still faces more expensive and extensive physical rehab in the future. So four days ago he made a life-changing decision that’s going to make headlines across the country!

To cope with the medical bills he decided to sell “his Vegas life” and that includes his home, his cars—and his rent-paying roommate, model Gina Teichert. “She’s agreed to go along with this,” said Michael. “She’s the perfect roommate and has never been behind on the rent. The best I ever lived with. What started as a three-week emergency rental has become a two-year stay. She’s the jackpot hit of the roommate lottery.”

Said Gina: “I don’t want to move. I want to stay here because it’s so close to all my modeling work. I’m really sorry for Michael that he has to leave town but I hope the person who buys his home will keep me on as the roommate.”

Michael’s “life” for sale on E-Bay, the Internet auction site, has a starting bid of $725,000. He told me: “I’ve got to get healthy—mentally and physically—so I want to take a year off and go to the Caribbean and get well. I can’t take the cars so I’m leaving everything behind except for my personal belongings and my computer.” Everything else is thrown in including a 1996 Mercedes Benz sports car, a 2004 Toyota Tundra pickup that ran in the Gumball Rally and movie, and even his 702- XXX- SEXY cell phone with three porno-stars, various strippers, VIP girls, bartenders, nightclub hosts—even one of the original Guns ‘n’ Roses musicians who has agreed to pop over to say hello to the new owner. The winning bidder gets his 2,750 square foot home on the 15th fairway of the prestigious Las Vegas Country Club complete with new modern granite marbled kitchen and his and her showers and fireplace in the master suite!

“Everybody has teased me about selling it all on E-Bay,” he told me. “But I had to do something radically different and unique in this tough real-estate market. In just 96-hours I’ve had 1,600 page views. It will end next Saturday, March 29 and although the house has an appraised value of $750,000 the first bona-fide bidder in at $725,000 or more its all theirs! I’ve got great contacts on my phone and I’ll personally make the introductions to everybody on my cell-phone.”

Michael has attorney John Greene drafting a law suit to be filed against the Treasures Club and has requested Metro Police turn over the video-tape that was recorded of the beating he sustained. He summed up: “We will file the law suits once all the medical is completed in the next 30-days so we have a specific amount from the bills—and then I’ll turn over my life and move to the Caribbean for rest relaxation and to get well again. The sale will give me enough to live on and pay medical bills for at least twelve months.” Michael has promised to let me know the results next weekend so check back to Luxe Life for the conclusion of this incredible story.
