Opened in 2014 as the centerpiece of The LINQ Promenade, the High Roller redefined the Las Vegas skyline. Standing 550 feet tall and 520 feet in diameter, it surpassed the London Eye to become a dominant fixture of the city.

Inside the 28 spherical, glass-enclosed cabins, visitors enjoy a smooth, climate-controlled ride. Each cabin can hold up to 40 people and features dynamic video and music shows that sync with the wheel's rotation. For an elevated experience, some cabins even feature an open bar with a personal bartender.

Whether you ride during the day to see the surrounding mountains or at night to witness the neon lights of the Strip, the experience is majestic. It is a peaceful escape from the bustling casino floors below, offering a literal high point to any Vegas itinerary.

Visitor Tips

  • Book tickets online in advance to save money and skip the ticket line.
  • Try the 'Happy Half Hour' cabin for an all-you-can-drink open bar experience during your 30-minute rotation.
  • Go just before sunset to catch both the daylight views and the transition into the glittering night lights.
  • Use the restroom before boarding, as there are no facilities inside the cabins.

Heads Up

  • Expect longer wait times during peak evening hours and holidays.
  • If you are prone to severe vertigo, the height and transparent glass walls might be intimidating.
