This week:

Live Out Your Gay Gladiator Fantasy in Rome (If You Dare!)

Sign me up.

Grab your leather harness – Airbnb is serving ancient Roman realness at the Colosseum! The vacation rental giant just announced a special ‘after-hours’ gladiator experience where you can channel your inner Russell Crowe (or better yet, that hot guy from Spartacus). Suit up in "historically accurate" armor and battle it out in the world's most iconic arena.

Think of it as a very specific kind of role-play, just with more witnesses — and angry Italian officials. The locals are pissed, despite Airbnb throwing money at “heritage preservation” to smooth things over.

Whether this is a bucket-list dream or cultural sacrilege probably depends on how many times you've watched "300" for the plot. But, if you've always dreamed of being a sweaty warrior in the arena (and who hasn't?), book it while you can – before the angry locals shut down this particular fantasy for good.

  • “Is the tour guide hot?”
