This $1.6 Billion Casino Has 66 Gaming Tables. Not One Has Ever Been Used
n the edge of Macau's Coloane village, a mile south of the Cotai Strip, stands a twenty-two-story tower with a sealed room inside it. Sixty-six gaming tables sit untouched in immaculate condition. The cards have never been dealt. The chips have never been counted. The dice have never been rolled. The tower cost $1.6 billion to build. The room has never been allowed to open. This is the story of The 13 Hotel, Hong Kong billionaire Stephen Hung's $1.6 billion bet on the most luxurious casino resort in the world. It opened in 2018 with two hundred ultra-luxury villas, a fleet of thirty custom Rolls-Royce Phantoms, and no gaming license. In its first year, it averaged sixteen guests a night. In 2021, its parent company went bankrupt. In 2025, the building sold for under $51 million, roughly three percent of what it cost to build.
