High Roller
Ideal: Ideal for views, photography, couples, families, and a calmer Las Vegas experience.
At 167.6 meters it was the world's tallest observation wheel when it opened in 2014. Each of twenty-eight glass pods holds forty people and a full rotation takes thirty minutes — more a slow viewing terrace than a classic Ferris wheel. Some sessions include open-bar service inside the pod. Sitting mid-Strip, the top shows both the hotel light line and the dark desert behind at once.
