Hot August Nights Guinness Book Hula Hoop Competition at Atlantis Casino Resort Spa!

Reno, NV - 7/1/2009

Atlantis will host the Guinness Book of World Record's Hula Hoop competition during Hot August Nights, Tuesday, August 4 through Saturday, August 8, 2009 from 6pm until 8pm nightly. Contestants are invited to hula hoop to Classic 50's music by the Outdoor Stage, compete for fabulous prizes and maybe even a coveted World Record! Individual prizes will be awarded to guests ages 7 and under, ages 8 to15 years and ages16 and over.

The record for "Most Hula-Hoops Twirling at Once" stands at 107 hoops, and that means three full revolutions of a standard hula hoop sustained between shoulders and hips. Back in 1999, Lori Lomeli set a World Record here at Atlantis when she twirled 82 Hula Hoops! Rumor has it that the competition will be fierce, so don't be surprised if the record is broken again here at Atlantis!

And for those of you who just want to have some Hula Hoop fun, come on over to Atlantis Tuesday, August 4 through Saturday, August 8 from 5 to 6pm and 8pm to 9pm for some Free-Style Hula Hooping.
