Behold The Massive LINQ High Roller
Measuring 520 feet in diameter, The LINQ High Roller is officially the tallest Ferris wheel in North America and second in the entire world. Much like a high roller raking in cash at a casino like the Sahara, this ride feels exhilarating. It is for that reason that people flock to it for the 30-minute revolution, completely with audio commentary, and the unrivaled view of the Las Vegas Strip it brings with it.
Unrivaled Views of the Las Vegas Strip
Everything about the High Roller screams Las Vegas opulence. Not only do you get a ride that outlasts many others, but you get to enjoy it in style and comfort. The High Roller features 28 air-conditioned compartments, making it perfect for either day or nighttime rides.
This contrast of times gives you two distinct adventures when taking the massive spin. You can overlook the beauty of the Las Vegas Strip from high atop the LINQ High Roller during the daylight or soak in the neon lights in the evening. The two contrasting points of view completely encapsulate the Vegas experience.
Upgrades Available for the Ultimate High Rollers
How do you turn a vacation-defining trip into an unforgettable exercise in extravagance? One word—upgrade. Those with a taste for the finer things can upgrade to a High Roller cabin. It’s here where you can take a spin while taking a drink with the “Happy Half Hour Option.” If Bar Service on the tallest roller coaster in North America doesn’t scream “Vegas, Baby” then nothing does.
