There's always something to do in Las Vegas, but this Thursday, two of the world's best friends are hoping to accomplish something that has never been done before.

Joel Strasser and Garrett Smith of "The Amazing Race" Season 35 will collaborate with Casino.org on Thursday, September 25, in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the "Most Casinos Visited in 24 Hours."

As veterans of the armed forces, Strasser and Smith are no strangers to accomplishing seemingly impossible goals and conquering the most formidable challenges.

The pair owns 20 Guinness World Records in addition to coming second on "The Amazing Race," serving in the Idaho Army National Guard and Military Police Corps, and completing tours to Iraq.  They hold the record for the longest cornhole shot with a slingshot (why didn't we think of that in college?), but the most also feature Joel's beard.

Due to their shared military experience and the fact that their battalion includes multiple Smiths, Strasser and Smyth, as they affectionately refer to each other, intend to increase their Guinness World Records total to 21.

"Strasser is always looking for our next Guinness World Record to break. This one fits in with ‘The Amazing Race’-style that we just love,” said Smyth. “We started looking into it and came across the Casino.org contest.”

“It was more than a year and a half ago that this seed was planted,” added Strasser.

Strasser and Smith will start their race around Las Vegas on Thursday at 3 p.m. local time. They will visit and wager at as many casinos as they can by 3 p.m. on Friday, including the Strip, downtown, and Henderson.

The majority of casinos visited in a day

Since Kimo Ah Yun and Gary Meyer established the standard in October 2017, the 24-hour Guinness World Record for the most casinos gambled in has stayed at 74 casinos.  Strasser and Smyth will try to gamble inside at least 75 starting on Thursday afternoon and continuing for the next 24 hours, but they have considerably higher expectations.

"This record is so logistically tough,” said Strasser. “It is incredibly difficult to follow all of Guinness’ rules and jump through every hoop. I think that’s why the record has stood for almost 10 years.”

Numerous people have attempted and failed, whether as a result of fatigue, practical difficulties, or breaking the rules.

The record-setter must wager on a table game or electronic table game, not a slot machine, according to Guinness World Records.  Additionally, Strasser and Smyth are not allowed to use hired cars, self-driving cars, ridesharing services like Uber, or taxis.

Although they intend to travel by bicycle and foot, scheduled transit such as the Monorail is permitted.

Garrett and Joel are prepared to go. 

Strasser and Smyth claim to be prepared, having laid out their map of Southern Nevada.  The two have been preparing and completing the Guinness World Record attempt in Las Vegas for a few days.

Strasser responded that the excitement of the occasion and their prior experiences on "The Amazing Race" will help them achieve their 21st Guinness World Record when asked how the two adult men, who have families and children at home, will deal with sleep deprivation.

"Normal people don’t do this,” Garrett said in stating the obvious. “We’re not that normal.”

“You tap into a certain energy and momentum when you undertake something cool,” Strasser added. “We know we’re going to be able to do it.”

"We have this concept — consistency over motivation. As you get more tired, the motivation goes away. It’s hard. The consistency mindset is that no matter what happens, we keep moving forward,” explained Smyth. 

The weather forecast for Thursday indicates highs in the mid-90s with lows staying over 70 degrees, so Smyth and Strasser will need to drink plenty of water.
