Nevada teachers can take a break with a free ride on the High Roller from September 1-30.

Friends and family accompanying teacher can use promotional code HRTE50 to get 50 percent off their ticket. Teachers must show Nevada teaching credentials to get the free ride.

Students can also use promotional code HRWSTU to get 50 percent off their High roller tickets with a valid ID.

High Roller is also available for field trips during the school year, which lets children explore design and engineering while riding the 550-foot observation wheel.

The trips also include classroom instruction prior to the High Roller visit:

  • Students in grades K-2 will describe and model their favorite kind of Ferris wheel during the classroom portion.
  • Those 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.
  • 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.
