Offer ALERT! Teachers Ride Free On The Linq In September

Next month, Nevada teachers can take a break from planning lessons to take a ride on the world's largest observation wheel. From Sept. 1 through Sept. 30, teachers* will receive a free ride on the High Roller. Friends and family members accompanying teachers will receive 50 percent off their ticket prices.

Topping out at 550 feet, the High Roller is the focal point of The LINQ Promenade, the open-air shopping, dining and entertainment district, that redefines the iconic Las Vegas skyline. Students can also get in on the action with field trips, behind-the-scenes tours and 50 percent off their ticket price with a valid ID.

The High Roller Field Trips 
For the 2017-18 school year, teachers may also take their classes on a field trip the students will be sure to remember. The High Roller and the Clark County School District (CCSD) have created the opportunity for K-12 students to learn about critical science, technology, engineering arts and mathematics (STEAM) subjects in a thrilling way. In conjunction with the CCSD Community-Partnership Program, the High Roller field trip takes students behind the scenes while exploring the design and engineering behind the wheels of the world.

Age-appropriate lesson plans designed for grades K-2, grades 3-5, grades 6-8 and grades 9-12 combine classroom instruction with field trips to the High Roller, where STEAM subjects will be brought to life. K-2 students will describe and model their favorite kind of Ferris wheel during the classroom portion of the lesson plan. Students in grades 3-5 will be asked to design a new attraction for the Las Vegas Strip that is safe, cost-effective and energy efficient. Students in grades 6-8 will study the sum forces acting upon the Ferris wheel that enable it to rotate continuously. Finally, high school students will focus on the full design of a Ferris wheel by creating models, safety protocols and a full operation plan for the structure. Students in all grades will have the opportunity to ride the High Roller in person, after which they will have a chance to revise their classroom work based on observations made during the field trip.

To purchase tickets or to book a field trip, go to www.TheLINQ.com.

*Teachers must show Nevada teaching credentials to receive the complimentary ride. The free offer is limited to one ride per teacher. To receive 50 percent off, teachers' friends and family promotional code is HRTE50 and students must use HRWSTU. Offers are not valid with Happy Hour cabins. Limit four tickets per transaction.

FREE Rowing Classes For Junior Athletes Tomorrow 8/15

Middle and high school-age kids have a different type of team sport activity to consider with rowing. The Lake Las Vegas Rowing Club is recruiting athletes, ages 13 to 18, for its Junior Rowing Team. No experience is required, and the first two weeks of this Olympic sport are free.

The first meeting for the Junior Rowing Team is Tuesday, Aug. 15, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Lake Las Vegas Rowing Club Boathouse, 15 Costa Di Lago in MonteLago Village in the Lake Las Vegas master planned community surrounding a 320-acre private lake.

According to Jim Andersen, Lake Las Vegas Rowing Club executive director and head coach, the newest competitive sport in Nevada provides beneficial fitness, team-building and collegiate opportunities. “Rowing is an injury-free, strength-building aerobic exercise; and great for learning to work with a team and accessing NCAA scholarships and PAC-12 and Ivy League school admissions,” said Andersen, who has coached multiple national championship teams with many of his former athletes competing on successful college teams and becoming Olympic athletes.

Athletes may practices up to six (6) days per week ‒ a minimum of three (3) days a week required ‒ Monday through Friday from 4 p.m.to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. “If interested students aren’t able to attend the Aug. 15 orientation meeting, we invite them to come to any practice to learn about the sport,” Andersen added.

The Junior Rowing Program is not affiliated with a particular high school. Boys and girls teams will compete against teams from other states. Following the first two free weeks, there is a monthly $120 fee.

For information and registration, visit www.llvrc.org, call 702-463-5453 or email jim@llvrc.org.

In addition to the Junior Rowing Program, there are various adult programs from beginner to master levels.

The Lake Las Vegas community is just minutes from Galleria Parkway and I-515/U.S. 95 or off Lake Mead Parkway and Lake Las Vegas Parkway. Free parking is available in the Hilton Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa parking garage adjacent to MonteLago Village.
