Iconic Attractions: High Roller Las Vegas
The Las Vegas skyline isn’t complete without its iconic, ferris wheel-shaped attraction on the Strip - the High Roller. As North America's tallest observation wheel, it soars 550 feet above the ground, offering visitors an unparalleled perspective of the city. (Fun fact: it was the world's tallest until Ain Dubai in the United Arab Emirates claimed the title.)
A Vegas Twist on the Ferris Wheel
It has similarities to a ferris wheel, such as going on a joyride and rotating above ground, but with a Vegas twist. Instead of buckling up and feeling the wind against your face for 30 seconds - you get to sit, stand, or sip on a drink while you take in 360-degree views of the city for 30 minutes. Or if you’re a photographer like me, you’re in and around that pod getting all the angles!
The High Roller’s glass-enclosed pods are transparent, offering unique opportunities for stunning photographs. The panorama encompasses everything from the famous Las Vegas Strip to the surrounding mountains. Once the rotation takes you to the top, it’s perfect for capturing the cityscape against the sky.
If you're in the mood for a unique, luxurious experience, consider the Happy Half Hour cabins. These exclusive cabins come with an open bar and a bartender, making it a perfect choice for a special occasion. The open bar is the ticket you need to access this unique experience.
