LAS VEGAS — The LINQ High Roller ferris wheel debuted on March 31, 2014 along the famous Las Vegas Strip. It holds the current record as the world’s tallest ferris wheel. The High Roller tops out at 550-feet tall, which surpasses the Singapore Flyer, which formerly held the record at 541 feet tall.
When looking at the High Roller from a distance, it may appear that it’s not even moving. However, it does move–at a very slow pace–of one foot per second. That equals about 30 minutes for one revolution.
There are 28 self-inclosed pods on the High Roller. They can accommodate everyone from small to large groups. Visitors can book private parties and even weddings aboard the ferris wheel.
The High Roller is reinforced by 112 cables. If each cable was laid down in a row, it would equal to about 4.8 miles long.
If you’ve seen the ferris wheel during the day, then you definitely have to come by and see it at night. The High Roller features more than 2,000 colored LED lights. It’s quite a spectacular when they are all blinking different colors.
Whether you have ridden it five times or haven’t even taken a spin yet, the High Roller ferris wheel has definitely peaked interest all over the globe.
There are several different ticket packages available. You can purchase a day ticket, a night ticket or a day-and-night ticket package. There’s even an online advance purchase discount.
The High Roller ferris wheel is located at 3545 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109. It is accessible via the Las Vegas monorail at the Harrah’s/The LINQ stop.
