The LINQ High Roller standard ticket comes in two tiers: the Daytime ticket (valid 12:00 pm–4:59 pm, from $28 per adult) and the Anytime ticket (valid all operating hours including evenings, from $40 per adult). Both include a 30-minute rotation in a shared cabin with up to 40 guests, floor-to-ceiling panoramic views of the Las Vegas Strip, synchronized audio commentary, free Wi-Fi, and air-conditioning. Children aged 4–12 pay from $20 (daytime), and under-3s ride free.
The standard ticket is the most straightforward way to experience the LINQ High Roller — one rotation, 30 minutes, 550 feet above the Las Vegas Strip, with nothing to organise beyond the booking itself. But the choice between a Daytime and Anytime ticket is more meaningful than it first appears: different views, different prices, different crowds, and a different atmosphere. This guide covers every detail so you book exactly the right ticket for your visit.

Daytime Ticket — What You Need to Know
The High Roller Daytime ticket is valid for boarding between 12:00 pm and 4:59 pm. It delivers clear 360-degree desert panoramas, the best mountain views of the Spring Mountains and Red Rock Canyon, and crisp visibility across the entire Las Vegas Valley. It is the most affordable ticket option and typically involves the shortest boarding queues. Daytime tickets start from $28 per adult online.
What You Get with the Daytime Ticket
- One 30-minute rotation in a shared standard cabin
- Clear daytime views in all four directions — Strip to the south, STRAT and Downtown to the north, Spring Mountains to the west, desert valley to the east
- Visibility of architectural detail impossible to see at night — pool decks, rooftop structures, the Bellagio fountain lake. See our Views from the Top guide
- Synchronized audio commentary tour, free Wi-Fi, full air-conditioning
- The quietest boarding windows of the day — particularly 12:00 pm–3:00 pm on weekdays
Who the Daytime Ticket Is Best For
- Families with children: Clear views easier for children to engage with, cheaper tickets, and quieter cabins. See our High Roller with Kids guide
- Budget-conscious visitors: At $28 per adult, the Daytime ticket is $12 cheaper than the Anytime. For a family of four adults, that’s $48 saved
- Mountain and landscape lovers: The Spring Mountains and Red Rock Canyon are only fully visible in daylight
- First-time visitors on a tight schedule: Fewer queues and more cabin space means a more relaxed first experience
Anytime Ticket — What You Need to Know
The High Roller Anytime ticket is valid for boarding at any point during operating hours — including evenings and late nights. It gives access to the night ride: the full neon spectacle of the Las Vegas Strip blazing from 550 feet. Anytime tickets start from $40 per adult. They are the right choice for anyone prioritising the neon Strip experience, special occasions, or an evening visit.
What You Get with the Anytime Ticket
- One 30-minute rotation valid at any operating time — including after dark
- Full neon Strip views for evening and night boarding — the Las Vegas skyline at its most electric
- Access to the Friday and Saturday late-night operation (until 2:00 am)
- The sunset boarding window — timing your boarding 20–30 minutes before local sunset gives you both daytime and night views within one rotation
- Same cabin amenities as Daytime: audio commentary, free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning
Who the Anytime Ticket Is Best For
- First-time visitors: The neon Strip from 550 feet is the quintessential Las Vegas view — most first-timers want it after dark
- Couples and romantic visits: Evening and sunset rides are more atmospheric for date nights and anniversaries
- Celebrations: Birthdays, bachelorette rides, and special occasions work best in the evening. See our Special Occasions guide
- Night owls: The Fri/Sat late-night window (after midnight) delivers near-empty cabins with peak neon

Where to Buy Standard Tickets
Online (Recommended)
Buying online is always cheaper than the walk-up box office and skips the ticket counter queue. Your e-ticket arrives instantly and works on your smartphone.

At the LINQ Box Office
Walk-up tickets are available at the LINQ Promenade box office. Prices are higher than online and queues can run 20–30 minutes on busy evenings. Acceptable if you’ve forgotten to book in advance, but online is always preferable.
Through Multi-Attraction Passes
Standard High Roller admission is included in the Go City Las Vegas All-Inclusive Pass and the Las Vegas Explorer Pass — both good value if you’re visiting multiple attractions. See our High Roller Discounts guide for the full pass comparison.
How to Pick the Right Boarding Time
Your standard ticket gives you flexibility — the three-day validity means you can choose your exact boarding time on the day. Key timing principles:
- Quietest times: Weekday afternoons 12:00 pm–3:00 pm — minimal queuing, spacious cabins
- Best view: 20–30 minutes before local sunset — daytime clarity transitioning to neon glow in one rotation
- Best neon: After 8:00 pm — full neon Strip below
- Most private feel: After midnight on Friday/Saturday — near-empty cabins

Standard Ticket Discounts
Several discount routes apply specifically to standard tickets: the Nevada resident 20% box office discount, Go City and Las Vegas Explorer Pass inclusion, group rates for 15+ guests, and Caesars Rewards member offers. None of these apply to the Happy Half Hour. See our full High Roller Discounts & Promo Codes guide for all current offers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Daytime and Anytime ticket?
The Daytime ticket is valid 12:00 pm–4:59 pm and starts from $28. The Anytime ticket is valid during all operating hours (including evenings) and starts from $40. Both give you the same 30-minute ride — the difference is the time of day and the views it delivers. See our Daytime vs Night guide for a full comparison.
How long is the High Roller standard ticket valid?
Your ticket is valid for three days from the selected date, giving you flexibility to adjust your timing if plans change.
Can I upgrade from a standard ticket to the Happy Half Hour at the venue?
In most cases, no — Happy Half Hour tickets are a separate booking. If slots are available on the day, you may be able to purchase a Happy Half Hour ticket at the box office, but availability is not guaranteed, particularly on weekend evenings.
Is the standard ticket good value?
Yes — at $28 for a daytime ticket, the High Roller is one of Las Vegas’s most compelling value propositions: 30 minutes at 550 feet above the Strip with no time pressure, air-conditioning, and a narrated landmark tour.
Can children ride on a standard ticket?
Yes — all ages are welcome. Children 4–12 pay from $20 (daytime) or $28 (anytime). Children 3 and under ride free with a paying adult.
Do I need to print my ticket?
No — your e-ticket on your smartphone is accepted at the boarding ramp scanner. Printing is optional.
