High Roller Observation Wheel

The High Roller is the tallest observation wheel in North America at 550 feet, and one full revolution takes 30 minutes. It's the most accessible signature experience in Las Vegas: no transfers, no full-day commitment, no advance planning. Night rides are the version worth booking.

The experience

Each of the 28 spherical glass cabins holds up to 40 passengers, and the views extend across the full Strip corridor to the Spring Mountains in the west and the desert in every direction. The cabins are climate-controlled, which matters more than you'd think during summer months. The Happy Half Hour cabin places your group in a dedicated capsule with an open bar for the duration; for golf groups marking an evening, that's the reason to upgrade. The LINQ Promenade below offers restaurants and shops if you want to extend the stop into a longer evening.

Logistics

Standard tickets $25 to $37 depending on time of day and advance purchase. Happy Half Hour cabin runs roughly $60 per person. Children 7 to 17 ride for $10 to $15; under 6 ride free. Operates 365 days a year with extended weekend and holiday hours. Thirty minutes per revolution. No advance reservation strictly required on weekday evenings, but weekends and holidays can mean significant queues. Located at The LINQ Promenade on the Las Vegas Strip.
