\"Venetian<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A new world record has been set for the largest house of cards<\/a> in China by an American artist, Bryan Berg. The “house” is modelled upon – and resides in – the world’s biggest resort hotel, the Venetian Macau.<\/p>\n

Berg’s house of cards weighs 272 kg, measures 10 x 3 metres and required 218,792 cards to make. The building took 44 days to complete and no tape or glue was used.<\/p>\n

The Venetian is the centrepiece of Macau’s Cotai Strip, the contradictory nation’s take on the Las Vegas Strip<\/p>\n

“This has been the most ambitious project I have undertaken to date," said Berg.<\/p>\n

“It’s really like a real construction project because you have to engineer every single adjacency and every support that’s supporting everything above.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n
