Go for a free-wheeling spin on The High Roller, a sky-bound adventure that revolves up and around for unparalleled views of the bright lights and landmarks of the Strip. Climb into a glass capsule on the world’s tallest observation wheel for a 360-degree look at sprawling downtown Vegas and beyond.

Leave the heat of the street behind as you step into one of the High Roller’s 28 capsules. These glass-lined and temperature-controlled pods slowly rotate higher and higher, lifting you up to a breathtaking height of 550 feet (167 m)—higher than both the London Eye and the Singapore Flyer. Walk around the pod, take a seat on a bench, and check out the multimedia screens as you ride.

As you spin, look down over the bright lights and revelers of the Las Vegas Strip, the spouting, illuminated fountains of the Bellagio, and the bold, iconic architecture of hotels like the golden Mandalay Bay, Luxor's black pyramid, and the sparkling Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas. Beyond the city limits, gaze out over the red rocks for a distant look at Mount Charleston, the highest peak in Southern Nevada. With Vegas' clear desert skies, you can see up to 25 miles (40 km) out toward the horizon from the pinnacle of this towering observation wheel.
