When you go to Las Vegas, sometimes you want to feel like a high roller, but if that’s not in the budget, you might want to check out the High Roller Ferris Wheel.
The High Roller Ferris Wheel is located at The LINQ hotel in the center of the Las Vegas Strip and gives you the opportunity to see Sin City from 550 feet in the sky at its tallest point. During your ride, an amusing audio tour points out interesting sights to see that are perfectly timed to when they come into view. It is a great way to follow along.

World’s Tallest Observation Wheel?
Unfortunately, even at 550 feet tall, currently, the High Roller at the LINQ is not the world’s tallest observation wheel. Though it held the title of the world’s largest observation wheel for a while, it was recently surpassed by the Ain Dubai in Dubai. However, it still remains the largest observation wheel in the United States and the second-largest in the world.
Aerial Views of Las Vegas Boulevard
Look at one of the best aerial views of the Las Vegas Strip from one of 28 climate-controlled pods. The roomy pods fit up to 12 people and give you beautiful 360-degree views of all the lights and landscape. One full rotation around takes about 30 minutes.
Since the pods are glass, there are also endless photo opportunities with this ride, and it is a great way to see Las Vegas from above without taking a helicopter ride.
VIP Cabin Experience
The High Roller wouldn’t live up to its name if you couldn’t get a VIP experience. For group gatherings, the High Roller observation wheel in Las Vegas offers a VIP Cabin Experience for up to 10 guests that includes a private cabin for your ride and a Bluetooth speaker so that you can control the jams. The VIP Cabin Experience is a good way to get the perfect view of Las Vegas without anyone in your way.
High Roller Happy Half Hour
The High Roller Happy Half Hour cabin is the option guests 21+ will love. The Happy Half Hour is an experience for up to 10 guests to have an open bar and bartender for the full 30-minute rotation. That’s right! All-you-can-drink for 30 minutes. There’s only one catch – there’s no bathroom on board, so only drink what you can hold!
But there is an intercom button in case you need to speak to someone in an emergency.
Guests can take advantage of the Happy Half Hour day or night, but only guests 21+ are allowed in Happy Half Hour cabins. Don’t forget to bring cash to tip your bartender!

Starting at $69
