Harvard-trained American architect, Bryan Berg has successfully turned the world's largest casino into the record breaking world's largest house of cards. Crowds of people visited the Venetian Macau casino at the heart of Macau's Cotai Strip on Wednesday to witness Berg break his own Guinness Word Record and place the final card on the card stacked replica of the casino.  

 

Measuring 10 meters by 3 meters and weighing in at 272 kg the structure took a shocking 44 days to create. Several times it looked as though it might collapse. No glue or sticky-tape was used to hold the cards together. Every piece of the structure involved careful planning and placing. 

 

"This has been the most ambitious project I have undertaken to date," said Berg in a recent interview. "It's really like a real construction project because you have to engineer every single adjacency and every support that's supporting everything above."

 

Visitors of the Chinese casino can see the 10-meter by 3-meter construction themselves; a replica has been created inside the building near the gaming floors.

 

Explaining why he decided to take on the project Berg told interviewers, "I was inspired to stack cards by my card-playing grandfather; maybe I can inspire some visitors at The Venetian Macao to try their hand at building their own structures."

 

Other structures that Berg has created replicas of include the White House and Cinderella's Castle at Walt Disney World.
