EXPLORERS STUMBLE UPON ABANDONED CASINO HOTEL WITH ROLLS-ROYCE FLEET 'WORTH MILLIONS'<br />WITH PIX AND VID<br />By Shuk Yee Tsang<br />An urban explorer has uncovered a long-abandoned five-star casino hotel filled with decaying luxury cars 'worth millions'.<br />Bob Thissen, 40, from the Netherlands, filmed the discovery inside the deserted Greek-style casino hotel in Macau.<br />The once-grand hotel was shut down in 2016 and has remained untouched for nearly a decade. <br />Inside, a towering Zeus statue still stands in the vast entrance hall, while the huge casino floor stretches endlessly through the dark.<br />Bob and his exploration partner, Andrea spent three days inside the enormous complex and still didn’t see it all.<br />Some of the hotel rooms appeared frozen in time. Others were badly damaged by mould and decay.<br />In the former parking lot, they made an unexpected discovery, a collection of abandoned luxury vehicles, including three Rolls-Royce Phantoms, an extended Hummer, extended Dodge Chargers, Porsches and Audis.<br />Bob estimates the cars alone were once worth millions.<br />He first read about the hotel’s closure in a news article and decided it was worth exploring.<br />Bob said: “The casino part was so big we got completely lost in there. After 3 days of exploring this place, we still did not see everything, there was so much to uncover.<br />"For the hotel rooms. Some were in a good shape, while other rooms where completely rotten and mouldy.<br />“A few million dollars. For 1 Rolls Royce Phantom is worth about half a million dollar.<br />“It’s really hard to guess, but the total value of these assets are really high. <br />"It’s an enormous building where everything is left behind. It’s also in the centre of Macau, where the price of ground will be very high per m2.<br />“We had a lot of expectations, but in reality it was much better than we expected. <br />"The cars were also a bonus, since we did not know they would be parked there.”<br />ENDS
