High Roller Ferris Wheel Las Vegas.
Cost, Tips and Discounts).
This video will answer all your questions about riding the High Roller in Las Vegas,
including the best times to ride, tips for getting the most out of your experience,
and where to go to get discount tickets.
What is The High Roller in Las Vegas?
The Las Vegas High Roller is the 2nd tallest observation wheel in the world!
At 550 feet tall and located right in the center of the Las Vegas Strip, it
provides extensive 360-degree views of both the Strip and the Vegas Valley.
Although many people refer to it as a Ferris wheel, it’s actually
what’s known as an observation wheel.
Rather than two or three-person seating areas like a Ferris wheel, the High
Roller has what are called “pods.
These large pods are fully enclosed, air-conditioned cabins that can
hold up to 40 people at a time.
There are a total of 28 pods, so that means there can be up to 1,120 people
on the High Roller at any one time.
Also, unlike a Ferris wheel, the High Roller moves at a very slow
pace (about 1 foot per second).
In fact, it never stops moving.
Passengers load and unload when a pod reaches the bottom platform
while the wheel is still spinning.
High Roller Tips: Best Times For Riding.
As already mentioned, day and night are both great times to ride the High
Roller, but some times are better than others, depending on what you
want to get out of the experience.
You’ll want to plan a ride at a time that will prioritize your most important
goals, such as whether you want a valley view or a Strip view with lights.
Maybe you’d like to enjoy what they call “happy half-hour” with an
open bar or even have a chance of getting an entire pod to yourself.
While day and night each offer exceptional views, there’s no doubt that the
evening hours are the most popular, as you will get to see the lights
on the Strip in all their glory.
This, of course, makes nighttime the busiest time for riding the High Roller, and you
may have to wait an extended time for a pod.
Also, at night it will be tough, if not impossible, to get a pod to yourself.
During the day, the lines will be much shorter, and you may even luck out and not
have to share a cabin with other passengers.
If having a pod to yourself is of interest, then your best chance of
this will be on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday during the day.
Pro Tip For The Best High Roller Vegas Views.
One of the best tips for riding at night is to get on the High Roller at
quarter-hour increments after 8 p.m.
Starting at 8 pm in the evenings, if you get on the wheel at the fifteen-minute
intervals of the clock (15, 30, 45), you will arrive at the top of the ride just in
time to watch the Bellagio Fountains show.
Seeing the Bellagio Fountains from the High Roller is an incredible
experience you won’t want to miss.
This might be tougher to do on the weekends as it’s more crowded but if it’s not
too busy, definitely give this a go.
