  Bryan Berg, who holds the Guinness record for the world’s largest house of freestanding playing cards, and the Guinness record for the world's tallest house of freestanding playing cards, will launch an attempt to break his own Guinness World Record for the largest house of freestanding playing cards at The Venetian Macao®.

  The attempt to build a replica of Sands Macao, The Plaza™ and The Venetian® Macao buildings will use more than 190,000 cards and will take 45 days to complete, which Berg will commence on Tuesday, January 26, 2010 and complete on Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at The Venetian Macao®.

  Berg’s card structures will recreate intricate details of these icons of the Cotai Strip®, such as the Rialto Bridge, the Campanile Tower, and challenging curved shapes of The Plaza™ and Sands Macao. Overall, the composition will be 10 1/2 meters (35 feet) long, 3 1/2 meters (11 feet) tall, and weigh more than 227 kilograms (500 pounds). The cards Berg will use in this record attempt, if laid end to end, would stretch more than 17 kilometers (10 1/2 miles).

  Card stacking requires that the builder use no tape, glue or other foreign substances that would aid the construction of the structure. To prove that Berg complies with these rules, after 10 days of displaying the completed record-setting replica, on Saturday, March 20, 2010 Berg will have to knock them all down!

  To celebrate the world record attempt and knocking down of the cards, one lucky Cardstacker Sweepstakes participant who draws the Gold Million Card used in the construction of the structure will instantly win HKD$1,000,000.

  Visitors wishing to catch a glimpse of Berg constructing his record-breaking attempt should visit the open space in front of the ZAİA™ Theater between January 26 and March 20, 2010 at The Venetian® Macao.
