PRESS RELEASE
September 09, 2013
Vejas Casino & Resort, Southern California's premier Four-Diamond gaming, dining
and entertainment destination, is enlisting hundreds of guests, team members and
community leaders in an attempt to break TWO Guinness World Records in a single
day.
At 9 a.m. on Friday, September 13, Viejas Casino & Resort will attempt to break
the Guinness World Record for the Largest Deck of Cards ever played…on the
world's Largest Blackjack Table. Each playing card measures over 3' x 4' and the
massive table measures 2,200 square feet. The table is so large that the dealer
will actually stand on the table to deal the record-breaking hand. An official
adjudicator from the Guinness organization will fly in to witness the attempt
and certify whether it was successful.
After the official record-breaking attempt, Viejas Casino guests will have the
opportunity to play a hand and be entered to win their share of a $22,000
jackpot later in the evening.
Then, at 6 p.m. on Friday, September 13, Viejas Casino & Resort will attempt to
set a new World Record for the most bottles of wine opened simultaneously. The
famed Bellagio Casino in Las Vegas established the record last year - 308
bottles opened in under 30 seconds. But that record was then broken at a Wine
Festival in Minneapolis in May of this year, when 474 wine bottles were uncorked
simultaneously. So how many bottles will be uncorked at Viejas Casino & Resort
on September 13? "We are expecting over 700 team members and guests, so we
should have a great crowd for the record attempt," said Viejas Casino & Resort
General Manager, Chris Kelley. "How many bottles, exactly? We'll have to wait
and see, but given the spirit and determination of our community, I'm confident
we will be setting a new World Record."
A wine and food pairing for all guests will follow the record-breaking attempt.
