A full circuit of the Strip 158 metres above the desert
You step into a closed, air-conditioned glass cabin, and the wheel carries you away for a full 30 minutes of rotation. No stops, no shaking: just a slow ascent that reveals the Strip from an angle no rooftop can offer.
From the top, the view opens up 360 degrees over the Las Vegas Strip, the Sphere, and the surrounding hotels, all the way to the mountains framing the desert valley.
Why ride the High Roller
The High Roller is not a traditional monument: it is a giant observation wheel, opened to the public on March 31, 2014, and owned by Caesars Entertainment. Its engineering was entrusted to Arup Engineering. Standing 550 feet tall with a 520-foot diameter, it remains North America's tallest observation wheel, having since been surpassed globally by Ain Dubai.
The wheel features 28 cabins, each holding up to 40 people. At night, LED lights illuminate it to music, visible from the entire LINQ promenade.
What changes depending on your ticket
Some cabins offer an onboard bar option reserved for adults. Other providers add an audio option commenting on the history of Las Vegas during the ride. Your ticket choice therefore directly shapes your cabin experience much more than the view itself.
Best for
- A comprehensive overview of the Strip in a single rotation
- Groups looking for a cabin with an adult bar
Less suited for
- Those looking for a historic landmark in the literal sense
- A quick visit: wait times and boarding add to the actual rotation
Friendly tip: plan for about an hour on site, including wait times and boarding, for a 30-minute actual rotation. Periodic closures for private events or maintenance can happen, so it is best to check before you go.
