What are the highlights of High Roller?

While most of Las Vegas' lively parties and activities happen on street level, the High Roller shows you a different angle of this world-renowned metropolis. At its highest point of 550 ft, the Ferris wheel offers majestic city views.

Since its completion in 2014, the High Roller is the tallest Ferris wheel in the world, almost 10 ft higher than its predecessor, the Singapore Flyer. The High Roller is 6.5 ft taller than the famous London Eye. Each of the 28 cabins is rotated individually, so the floors are perfectly horizontal throughout the entire ride. At the foot of the wheel, you can buy drinks at the High Roller's bar.

As it opens until midnight, you'll have a chance to ride at sunset or during the night, when the illuminated streets of Las Vegas are simply spellbinding.
