World's biggest blanket fort breaks record in Las Vegas

How big was your best ever den?

A team of volunteers in Clark County, Las Vegas officially broke the Guinness World Records for building the largest blanket fort, measuring a whopping 14,103 square feet.

After the announcement, 150 children were hosted at the fort for an evening of games, food and fun.

The fort was built at the Desert Breeze Community Center, and designed by students at West Career & Technical Academy.

"This project was about much more than breaking a world record", said Clark County Commissioner Justin Jones.

"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 fort was made of hundreds of sheets, binder clips, bits of tent, ropes and poles.

To break the record, the fort had to have no gaps larger than one inch and all sheets had to touch the ground.

The structure also had to be tall enough to allow a person to sit comfortably inside.

The previous record, set in South Carolina in 2024, stood at 12,291 square feet.
