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!Īlso, unlike a Ferris wheel, the High Roller moves at a very slow pace (about 1 foot per second). Rather than two or three-person seating areas like a Ferris wheel, the High Roller has “pods.” These large pods are fully enclosed, air-conditioned cabins that can hold up to 40 people at a time. It’s Not a Ferris WheelĪlthough many people refer to it as a Ferris Wheel, it’s actually what’s known as an observation wheel.
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. From the wheel, riders will get amazing views of all of Las Vegas. The High Roller is a 550-foot tall observation wheel at the LINQ Promenade on the Las Vegas Strip.
