MELBOURNE BEACH -- Vanilla Ice threw the ultimate house party Saturday night.

Celebrating the completion of "his biggest project yet," the '90s rapper and reality TV star rolled out the hot cars (four Lamborghinis, thank you very much), a helicopter and, of course, the decked-out, tricked-out beachfront home. One of the Lamborghinis had a license plate that read: 50 Cent (another famous rapper).

Sporting a modern look, the two-story home boasted ocean views throughout, an upstairs and downstairs kitchen, a cylindrical elevator and a dining table with LED lights that also turns into a hibachi grill. A sign on the elevator warned guests: "Don't even think about it."

The home, which will be featured on the season 7 premiere episode of "The Vanilla Ice Project" on DIY Network next month, features a stunning piece of driftwood high up on the ceiling in the entrance. It was a piece found off the beach that was refurbished into artwork.

In a nod to the Space Coast, Vanilla designed a space-themed rocketship playhouse outside that has mini fountains and sprinklers for kids to cool off.

About 200 people filtered in throughout the night to get a glimpse of the home just south of Floridana Beach. Many clamored for selfies with the former "Dancing With the Stars" contestant. He treated guests to an open bar, food, a DJ and got in on the entertainment with impromptu rapping by the pool.
