About ten minutes later, Xiao Ran and the others finally arrived at the Venetian Casino Hotel.
As the name suggests, this famous casino hotel is modeled after the Italian water city of Venice.
This casino hotel has not been established for a long time. It was established in 1999. It is considered a very new casino hotel in Las Vegas.
Its exterior design and decoration are very elegant and luxurious, and its interior feels like being in the streets of Venice.
The ceiling inside the hotel is painted like the sky, and the streets inside the hotel are lined with rows of Venetian buildings.
In the center of the street is a canal, with gondolas carrying tourists coming and going, and the boatman enthusiastically singing Italian love songs, which is quite interesting.
But this is all in the past, and the Venetian Hotel and Casino has lost its glory.
Like all casinos in Las Vegas, the Venetian Hotel and Casino is closed, with not even a single tourist, and it is extremely depressed.
The streets inside the hotel were deserted, the mottled gondolas were tied to the pier, and no one was singing love songs anymore.
In order to recover losses and save itself, Venice held such an auction of expired mortgage items.
Because of the auction, the area around the casino was specially cleaned up, not as bad as other places in Las Vegas.
At this time, it was already around ten o'clock in the morning.
Professional treasure hunters from all over the world are arriving at the Venetian Casino Hotel.
Taking this opportunity, the Venetian Casino, which had been closed for four to five months, has regained some of its popularity.
Compared with the bustling scene in the past, although this situation is still miserable, it is still much better than other casinos in Las Vegas.
After arriving at the Venetian Hotel, Anthony immediately revealed his identity to the receptionist.
Afterwards, the three cars drove straight into the hotel's underground parking lot and parked in the designated VIP parking space.
Sylvia and the others, as well as the other professional treasure hunters who came together, could only park their cars in the parking lot on the ground.
The reason for this difference is entirely determined by money.
It’s a Las Vegas tradition, and it’s even more evident during these difficult times.
As soon as the car was parked, the general manager of the Venetian Casino had heard about it and came to the underground parking lot to greet him personally.
After the two parties met, they were naturally polite.
Next, the forty-year-old Italian general manager took Xiao Ran and the others into the elevator.
"Mr. Sean, our hotel has arranged a presidential suite on the top floor for you. In that presidential suite, you can overlook the entire Las Vegas."
"Your friends and bodyguards can stay in several suites nearby, and the view is very nice."
“And all suites are free, and you can stay there until you leave Las Vegas.”
Xiao Ran nodded slightly, then smiled and said:
"Thank you very much, Mr. Simon, your arrangements are very thoughtful and considerate."
"The current situation is special and we will not stay in Las Vegas for long."
"If all goes well we should be leaving tomorrow, I hope it's a pleasant trip!"
At this point, he suddenly changed the subject.
"Mr. Simon, this is a special period. I wonder if you have disinfected the suites upstairs?"
"For security reasons and the need to protect privacy, we carry some anti-surveillance and listening equipment and will detect the suites we stay in."
"If there is any monitoring and listening equipment in those suites, you'd better remove it immediately, lest we find it and embarrass both of you."
"ah!"
Simon exclaimed and froze on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, his face turned blue and white, not to mention how embarrassed he looked.
He had seen Anthony and the others move several alloy suitcases from the car before, and he also saw several bulging black gun bags.
This made him understand that Xiao Ran was definitely not joking.
Of course he knew what was in the hotel suite.
Thinking of this, he immediately nodded and said:
"Mr. Sean, you also know that this is a top casino, and we must always keep track of the dynamics of our guests to make correct judgments."
"In some rooms, we will inevitably install some monitoring and listening equipment, which is just a business method."
"Since you made this request, I will immediately arrange for my men to clean up, and no one will be left behind. You can rest assured about this."
"ah!"
There was another exclamation in the elevator.
This time, it was Elaine and Fang Yufei who exclaimed.
Both beauties felt shuddering at the thought of surveillance cameras everywhere in the room they lived in.
They had experienced this feeling once before and never wanted to experience it a second time.
Thinking of this, they even backed down.
They kind of want to leave the Venetian and Las Vegas!
This trip to Las Vegas made them feel really bad.
There were also exclamations in the live broadcast room.
"Holy shit! This is a five-star Venetian Casino Hotel, and you're actually doing such dirty tricks. It's so shameless!"
Saint Yihua said angrily.
“Five-star hotels do this! You can imagine the situation in other hotels.”
“It seems that you must be careful when staying in hotels in the future and check carefully.”
"If you're not careful, you may become the protagonist of a short movie. This is so damn scary!"
Li Bai continued.
As he spoke, the building tilted.
Everyone discussed enthusiastically how to prevent this from happening and exchanged experiences with each other.
Venetian Hotel.
The elevator door opened, and Xiao Ran and the others had reached the top floor.
Later, Simon personally brought them into the presidential suite.
This rococo-style presidential suite has a very luxurious interior decoration, which is magnificent and comfortable.
The first time he entered the presidential suite, Xiao Ran secretly turned on the perspective and looked through the presidential suite inside and out.
Just as he expected.
There are some pinhole cameras and monitoring equipment installed in the foyer, living room, bedroom, study room and bathroom of this presidential suite, which are very secretive.
Every move of the people living here is under the strict surveillance of the hotel, and there is no secret at all.
Unfortunately, this trick didn't work on Xiao Ran.
As soon as he entered here, Anthony opened an alloy suitcase, took out a set of anti-monitoring and monitoring equipment, and quickly assembled it.
However, he did not immediately launch detection.
The moment he saw this high-tech equipment, Simon's expression suddenly changed.
The only trace of luck in his heart disappeared in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, he called the security department to send someone up and dismantle all the pinhole cameras and bugs in the suite, leaving no one behind.
In a matter of moments, several technicians from the hotel came up and began to dismantle the monitoring and listening equipment.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of these guys to clean up the monitoring and listening equipment, Xiao Ran chatted with Simon.
"Mr. Simon, please tell us about this auction of expired mortgage items."
"I just decided last night to attend the auction you held. I was in a hurry and didn't know much about the auction!"
“When I called your hotel staff last night, they didn’t give a detailed introduction.”
"Okay, Mr. Sean"
Simon nodded in response and immediately began to introduce the situation.
"You also know the current situation. All casinos in Las Vegas are closed and have been closed for four or five months."
"There is no need to hide it. All casino hotels, including ours, are facing tremendous pressure to survive."
"The situation of our hotels is pretty good. Some casino hotels that were not that good are already on the verge of bankruptcy."
Xiao Ran nodded and said nothing more.
This is not just the case in Las Vegas, but also in hotels in other parts of the United States, and even in the entire tourism service industry.
After a pause, Simon continued:
"In order to relieve operating pressure, we collected expired mortgage items from our casinos, selected some exquisite products, and held this special auction."
"All the lots that appeared at the auction were mortgaged by gamblers in various casinos. Due to the failure to redeem them in time, they never became owned by our casino."
"Due to the special situation now, there is not even a single customer in the casino, and the channels for handling these things in the past no longer exist, so this auction is possible!"
"These auctions cover a wide range of items, ranging from gold and silver treasures, antiques, cultural relics and works of art, to cars and houses, to company equity and land, etc."
"Many of the lots are of high value, but the starting price is very low. Our casino just wants to recover the cost..."
Next, Simon gave a brief introduction to the auction and related information about the auction items.
Listening to his introduction, Xiao Ran couldn't help but a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
There were also cheers in the live broadcast room.
"I'll go! There are indeed antiques and works of art in this auction, and there might be priceless treasures hidden among them!"
"There are actually houses, land, and even company equity! It seems that gamblers everywhere are the same. If they are desperate to lose, they dare to bet on anything!"
