Mashantucket — Famed high-wire acrobat Nik Wallenda will walk a tightrope at Foxwoods Resort Casino next week in connection with the grand opening of the Tanger Outlets at Foxwoods, the $125 million mall linking the casino’s Grand Pequot and Fox towers.

Wallenda will walk a tightrope stretched between the fifth level of Foxwoods’ Rainmaker Garage and the rooftop of the new outlet mall, a distance of 711 feet, Foxwoods announced. The tightrope will be 75 to 80 feet in the air.

Wallenda’s walk is scheduled for 1 p.m. Friday, May 22 — the day after the mall’s grand opening, which is scheduled for 10 a.m. Thursday. Guests will be able to view the stunt from the lawn in front of the main entrance to the outlets, directly across from the Grand Pequot valet.

For every foot Wallenda walks, Foxwoods will donate $7.11 worth of clothes from the mall’s new stores to the United Way of Southeastern Connecticut.

Wallenda is a seventh-generation member of The Flying Wallendas, a famed circus family known for performing high-wire acts without a net. He set his 10th Guinness World Record last month, walking along Florida’s 400-foot-tall Orlando Eye observation wheel without a balancing pole. He completed record-setting tightrope walks over Niagara Falls in 2012 and the Grand Canyon in 2013.

In 2010, he set the record for longest and highest bicycle ride on a high wire and the next year performed on the “Wheel of Death” atop the 23-story Tropicana Casino and Resort in Atlantic City. Last November, he completed a two-part walk between Chicago skyscrapers, a portion of it while blindfolded.
