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 in Las Vegas
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.
The High Roller at The LINQ: 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 View 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 360-degree beautiful 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.
High Roller 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!
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!
High Roller Special Events
With some amazing views of the Las Vegas Strip, it is only fitting that some people would want to host their special events in one of the pods. Luckily, there are special event packages!
S.T.E.M Family Field Trip Guide
Take your family on a S.T.E.M field trip to the High Roller. They provide a curriculum sheet that lays out a 30-40 minute lesson plan on topics such as architecture, geography, science, math, and technology. It is an excellent way to get your kids engaged in learning!
Weddings
Vegas is known for its shotgun weddings and, well, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Whether you are looking to elope or plan your dream wedding, the ride has various packages that are perfect for a Las Vegas wedding or proposal.
When you book a wedding or proposal, the private cabins include the extras like photography, cinematography, music, flowers, and a classic Vegas Elvis minister.
Almost any special request can be accommodated as well since you’ll have a whole team of professionals at your disposal. Pricing starts at just over $1300. Not bad for a wedding 550 feet in the air!
Corporate Events
The LINQ High Roller offers corporate event packages as well. They have thought of everything, including three event spaces for before or after your VIP ride.
The Pre-Roll space is 2,500 square feet, perfect for a reception since it includes customizable audio, lighting, and video. The Wheel House is a good space for meetings or dinner, and the VIP Sky Lounge is an excellent set up for networking paired with a drink. Your VIP ride includes an open bar and hors d’oeuvres as well.
One thing is for sure, your employees or clients will never forget this meeting!
