What to expect from your visit
The High Roller Observation Wheel is the World's tallest observation wheel at 550 feet above ground. Its can't-miss presence on the Strip makes it one of Las Vegas' most recognizable landmarks. It's one of the most visited attractions along the Strip.
Before boarding the wheel, you’ll have time to check out various interactive displays. They will teach you all about Las Vegas history and highlight things to look out for on your ride. One full rotation around the wheel lasts 30 minutes, so you'll have enough time to take in the surrounding views from your glass-enclosed pod.
Each pod features displays that provide context to the sights you see so you can identify buildings and landmarks in your field of view. Because a trip to Vegas is usually focused on nightlife, the High Roller Observation Wheel is one of the top things to do in Las Vegas during the day.
