The High Roller in Las Vegas is 550 feet (168 meters) tall and has a diameter of 520 feet (158 meters). It was once the world’s largest Ferris wheel, before Ain Dubai (also known as the Dubai Eye) beat it to the record.
A ride on the High Roller lasts 30 minutes, providing stunning 360-degree views of the Las Vegas Strip and the surrounding landscape. The Ferris Wheel has 28 spacious, air-conditioned cabins which can accommodate up to 40 guests each. The spherical cabins rotate on their axis as the wheel turns, so you’ll always stay upright.
Throughout the ride, an entertaining audio tour narrates the rich history of Las Vegas, pointing out iconic landmarks as they appear.
If you opt for the Happy Half Hour ticket, you can expect a cabin with an open bar, professional bartender and unlimited drinks. Its a great way to enjoy the city’s dazzling lights, especially at night.
