(Image: <em>Casino.org<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When Joel Strasser and Garrett Smith <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/can-these-two-dudes-break-the-guinness-world-record-most-casinos-visited\/\">decided to attempt<\/a> to visit and gamble at no fewer than 75 casinos in 24 hours, everyone who knew the best friends, famous for finishing second on Season 35 of &#8220;The Amazing Race&#8221; and holding a combined 20 Guinness World Records, knew that the feat would be accomplished.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"main-blockquote\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We are going to break the record &#8212; it&#8217;s just about by how much,&#8221; Strasser said Thursday several hours into the casino marathon.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><em>Casino.org<\/em> chose Strasser and Smith<a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/can-these-two-dudes-break-the-guinness-world-record-most-casinos-visited\/\"><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/a>to try to set the new benchmark for the most casinos visited &#8212; and gambled &#8212; in one day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">They began their historic journey on Thursday, September 25, at 3 pm local time in Southern Nevada. The Guinness World Records requires that they place a table game or electronic table game bet to count as a casino visit. Playing a slot machine, placing a sports bet, or gambling in any other capacity does not.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>These Dudes Are Not Normal<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Guinness rules prohibit the use of taxis, rideshares, self-driving vehicles, and hired cars. Scheduled public transportation like buses, trains, and monorails is allowed, though the duo is sticking to their e-bikes.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">With more than eight hours remaining, the odds of Strasser and Smith setting the Guinness World Record for Most Casinos Visited in 24 Hours are about as good as the sun coming up tomorrow. In their first 15 hours, they&#8217;ve covered over 129 miles on foot and\/or electric bicycles. As of 6 am Friday, they had patronized 70 casinos.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Strasser and Smith planned their record attempt for more than a year and a half. The Idahoans arrived in Las Vegas last week, where they said they were still finalizing their map.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"main-blockquote\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This record is so logistically tough. It is incredibly difficult to follow all of Guinness&#8217; rules and jump through every hoop,&#8221; said Strasser.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;I think that&#8217;s why the record has stood for almost 10 years,&#8221; he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"main-blockquote\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Normal people don\u2019t do this,&#8221; Garrett said. &#8220;We&#8217;re not that normal.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ahead of their record attempt, <i>Casino.org <\/i>put the odds of Joel and Garrett breaking the record at, in hindsight, an attractive 7\/1, meaning a $100 wager would have netted $700.<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Track <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/us\/casino-world-record\/\">Joel and Garrett&#8217;s progress here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>World Record Forthcoming<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Casino.org <\/i>has been on the ground every step of the way with Smith and Strasser as they scurried across Southern Nevada on their way into the history books. The two remain in good spirits, pulling on their &#8220;Amazing Race&#8221; days, where staying up for 24 hours straight wasn&#8217;t exactly atypical.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Guinness World Records doesn&#8217;t pay record holders for their achievements, but <i>Casino.org <\/i>does. Along with an all-expense-paid trip to Las Vegas and covering all of their bets over the past 24 hours, when Strasser and Smith exit their 75th casino later today, they&#8217;ll receive a cool $4,000 in cash.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The GWR will need to confirm the attempt, a process that can take several weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/the-guinness-world-record-most-casinos-visited-set-today\/\">The Guinness World Record for &#8216;Most Casinos Visited&#8217; Will Be Set Today in Las Vegas<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\">Casino.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joel Strasser and Garrett Smith are poised to set a Guinness World Record in Las Vegas The record is for the most casinos visited within 24 hours The previous record of 74 casinos has stood since October 2017 The Guinness World Record for &#8220;Most Casinos Visited in 24 Hours&#8221; will almost certainly be set later today in Las Vegas.
