Join hundreds of stair climbers of all abilities on Sunday, February 23, 2025, for Scale The STRAT, the American Lung Association in Nevada’s signature Fight for Air stair climb up all 108 levels of Las Vegas’ iconic The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower.
Registration is now open at scalethestrat.org. Online registration is $35 per climber, plus a $200 fundraising minimum. (Registration increases to $50 the day of the event.)
The 1,455-step stair climb is the American Lung Association in Nevada’s major fundraiser of the year and helps fund the nonprofit’s lung health education, advocacy, and research efforts.
”Every step up this iconic Las Vegas landmark moves us forward in our fight for healthy lungs and clean air,” said Matt Grimes, American Lung Association in Nevada Board of Directors Chair. “When you Scale The STRAT, you support people with lung disease who fight for every breath.”
Scale The STRAT is an official timed event. Climbers will be scheduled in heats and enter the stairwell individually, with a staggered start. Official finish line times and photos will be available online after the climb. Climbers must be 18 years old by the event date.
Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield has been the presenting sponsor since the Scale The STRAT’s inception more than fifteen years ago. The STRAT donates team members, services, and facility use for this popular athletic fundraising event. “We are proud to open up the stairwells of our iconic STRAT Tower for this meaningful event and the American Lung Association’s efforts to raise awareness for lung health,” said Skylar Dice, General Manager and Senior Vice President of The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower. “Scale The STRAT is one of our favorite events of the year, and we are committed to providing an exceptional experience for all the participants, sponsors, and fans.”
