In this case, I'm talking about a real house of cards...officially the largest one in the world!
The Guinness Record certificateThe creator of this huge thing is Bryan Berg, a "professional cardstacker" who has been doing this since he was 17 years old and has broken his own world record multiple times. This structure replicated parts of the the Venetians, Sands, and the Plaza Macao. It took about 45 days to finish and used over 200,000 cards o_O
Calendar keeping track of the days
Berg at work
Work in progress
An idea of what the final thing should look like
Ta-da!
Perhaps the most interesting part is that after 10 days on display, Berg has to come back and knock the whole thing down to prove he didn't use any tape, glue, etc. That's scheduled for March 20, so I may just mosey on down to the Ventian Saturday to watch the fun.
P.S. I know, I've failed at trip-blogging, but the photos from Shanghai/Suzhou/Hangzhou are finally all up on Facebook, so I'll get to the narrative eventually...
