The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower in Las Vegas has partnered with The Animal Foundation to promote pet adoptions. Families who adopt from the shelter will receive complimentary tickets to the hotel’s Observation Deck, enhancing the experience while helping pets find homes. This initiative aims to address the growing need for adoptions, especially with recent increases in shelter intakes. Additionally, The Animal Foundation is waiving adoption fees and the Nevada SPCA will hold a $5 adoption event, fostering community involvement in animal welfare.
Las Vegas, NV – The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower is launching a collaborative initiative with The Animal Foundation, aimed at promoting pet adoptions in the Las Vegas area. The campaign will continue through the end of summer and seeks to encourage residents to adopt pets from the local shelter.
As part of this initiative, families who adopt a pet from The Animal Foundation will receive complimentary tickets to experience the hotel’s renowned Observation Deck. Each adoptive family can redeem tickets for up to four passes, offering them an opportunity to enjoy breathtaking views from one of Las Vegas’ most iconic attractions.
The STRAT’s Observation Deck is the tallest freestanding observation tower in the United States, standing at an impressive 1,149 feet. Located on the 108th and 109th floors, it provides panoramic views of the Las Vegas Valley and beyond. Guests visiting the Observation Deck can also enjoy various attractions, including dining options at 108 Eats and 108 Drinks, thrilling rides, and a gift shop. Tickets for the Observation Deck will be valid for one-time use and must be redeemed by Thursday, August 28.
The primary goal of the collaboration is to not only encourage pet adoption but also to significantly enhance the lives of animals currently in shelters. The Animal Foundation recently reported an influx of over 100 pets taken in during the busy Fourth of July weekend, amplifying the need for adoptive homes in the community.
As part of ongoing efforts to facilitate adoptions, The Animal Foundation is waiving adoption fees for all pets, including puppies and kittens, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the “Clear the Shelters” campaign. Those adopting will benefit from services that include spay/neuter surgery and updated vaccinations, although a minimal $10 license fee may apply.
In addition to this initiative, the Nevada SPCA is organizing a special one-day event on Cinco de Mayo, May 5, where adult pets will be available for adoption at just $5. This event aims to reduce the shelter population and connect pets in need with forever homes. All pets adopted through the Nevada SPCA are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.
A recent “Puppy Love” event held at Silverado Ranch Dog Park further showcased the community’s commitment to animal welfare. This event featured several local shelters and rescues and attracted hundreds of attendees who received educational materials on responsible pet care. Clark County Commissioner Michael Naft sponsored the event, highlighting the community’s importance in raising awareness about adoptable pets.
New developments in animal welfare legislation have also recently occurred, with amendments to Clark County’s Title 10. These changes focus on improvements in animal welfare practices, including a push for mandatory microchipping of pets and revisions to breeder fee structures, ensuring a safer environment for animals across the county.
This collaborative effort by The STRAT Hotel and The Animal Foundation emphasizes the critical need for pet adoption in the Las Vegas community while providing an enjoyable experience for families and individuals looking to welcome new furry companions into their lives.
