Although tourists are welcome to discover the mysteries of the tunnels during normal operating hours, there has never been an opportunity to spend the night there... until now.
Airbnb is thought to have paid around $400,000 to gain overnight access and they're holding a competition to see which lucky pair gets to spend the night there.
