Students in Las Vegas have broken the record for the world’s largest blanket fort.

Clark County has revealed students from Nevada’s West Career and Technical Academy have broken a Guinness World Record with their 14,103 square foot fort.

Clark County Commissioner Justin Jones commented: “This project was about much more than breaking a world record.

“It was about bringing the community together, creating unforgettable memories for foster and kinship families, and raising awareness for the needs of children and caregivers in foster care.”

The previous Guinness World Record was set at 12.291 square feet after an attempt in South Carolina in 2024.

In a press release, Clark Count revealed: “The record-breaking effort brought together volunteers, community partners, and sponsors including Las Vegas Grand Prix, Atlas Crane, Foster Kinship, Leverage LV, and dozens of community members who helped bring the project to life.

“The fort design was created by engineering students from West Career and Technical Academy.

“The massive structure consisted of hundreds of sheets, binder clips, tent structures, rope, pipe, and other materials that transformed the space into a fully enclosed blanket fort.”

Under the rules of the adjudication, which took place in Las Vegas, there weren’t allowed to be any gaps larger than one inch, while all sheets had to touch the ground, and the structure had to meet “minimum height requirements” to allow a person to sit inside “comfortably”.

The press released added: “Following the official record-breaking announcement, Desert Breeze Community Center staff hosted a special Parent’s Night Out event for 150 foster children.

“The children enjoyed games, activities, food, a fire truck, police vehicle, and a special appearance by Stomper from the Athletics.”
