    I love doing this ride when I can Specifically the all you can drink high roller But man I went on a Tuesday night weeks ago and omg I waited forever for whatever reason they only seem to have just one cabin with the bar cart which didn't make sense because the line was super big for the high roller vs standard line But I'll say when we finally got on this time we had 45 min vs 30 because of the stops and slowness lol Good time either way you get off happy!

    One of the best family-friendly tourist attractions on the strip. I recommend making reservations online to save a few bucks because ticket prices are STEEP, even with a military discount. I also suggest visiting during sunset to see the Vegas sky transition from multi-colored to lit with the hotels. It's an expensive 30 minute photo-op, but definitely on the tourist to-do list.

    Great attraction to relax and cool down with Las Vegas Views

    The High Roller a great way to take a break from the heat in a air conditioned POD. Rates are cheaper during the day and more expensive at night for a 30 minute ride. You will have to go through security and a bag check for safety of all riders no biggie. Very well organized Adults $21 on Groupon a must try.

    Step right up, folks step right up! When the sun drops over Las Vegas and those neon lights start hollerin', that's when the real show begins! Now I know how it goes you see that big ol' wheel, the High Roller, and you're thinkin', "Nope. Not today. Not me. Not that high." And your wife? Oh, she's already halfway to "absolutely not." But then like a seasoned carnival barker you sweet talk, you bargain, maybe even bribe... and next thing you know, you're both ridin' sky-high in what I like to call the bar car of bravery. And let me tell you once you're up there, drink in hand, city glowin' like a jackpot that just hit... buddy, it's a whole different tune. The Strip sparkles, the night feels alive, and suddenly your "bad idea" turns into the best decision you made all trip. Convenient too sittin' right by the Las Vegas Monorail, like it's just waitin' for you to wander over and take a spin. So don't fight it. Don't overthink it. You can walk the Strip all you want but you ain't really seen Vegas till you've ridden the wheel. Step right up... you can't not do it

    This was actually my second time riding the High Roller at The LINQ Promenade and I've experienced it both during the daytime and at night. After doing both, I personally think the nighttime ride is much better. The ride lasts about 30 minutes inside a large glass cabin with 360 degree views of Las Vegas. The wheel moves very slowly and smoothly, so most of the time you barely even notice that you're moving. It gives you plenty of time to walk around, take photos, or just stand and enjoy the view. During the day you can see farther out toward the desert and the mountains, which is nice. But at night the whole Strip lights up, and that's when the experience really feels special. Seeing the skyline, the Sphere, and all the lights from above is pretty amazing. The cabins are spacious and there are seating areas if you want to sit and relax. It's also ADA accessible, which is great. If you want drinks, they do sell them before you board, although the prices are definitely on the Vegas side. They also check bags before entry, so outside drinks aren't allowed. One thing that felt a little strange was that guests enter and exit the cabin while it's still slowly moving. It moves very slowly, but stepping on while it's in motion felt a little sketchy at first. I did notice they stopped the wheel for some guests though. For reference, I booked through Vegas.com and paid about $85 total for three adult tickets after fees, which came out to around $28 per person. For a Vegas attraction with views like this, I thought the price was pretty reasonable. Overall, it's a fun and relaxing way to see the city from above. If it's your first time in Vegas, I'd definitely recommend doing it at least once , and try to go at night if you can. The city lights really make the experience.

    Another Vegas attraction that's probably more impressive at night than in the daytime, but still a worthwhile attraction. It can get quite sunny in the pod, so I for one stayed standing and moved around rather than sit still - the former decision is better for checking out different viewpoints of the city anyway. The audio broadcast was both educational and entertaining - a winning combination!

    We finally tried the High Roller when in Vegas this week and we loved it! I am very afraid of heights, so I was very leery to ride, but I actually want scared at all on the wheel! The pods are so large and stable that you just kind of feel like you're in a hotel room looking over Vegas. The ride is 30 minutes long and travels up 550 above Vegas! I'd highly recommend riding at night. The view of the Sphere is amazing. The High Roller is in a great area with so much to do and see both within the ride complex and walking up to it. If you are a Caesars players card holder, check to see if you have free or discounted tickets like we did. Also be sure to decide if you want the standard ride or the pod with an all you can drink bar. You can't go wrong either way.

    We were offered free tickets as part of our conference to go on the wheel so we really enjoyed that it was free - I don't think I would have paid for it . It's around 20 minutes and you go over 500 feet in the air and it gives really good views of the hotel rooftops . I wish I could have seen more of the desert and mountains . It's something to do once though:)

    Melissa C.

    If you are looking for some incredible views of the Las Vegas Strip I highly recommend a ride on The High Roller. It's decently priced and really does give some unique views. The pod we were in had about 12 people on it and it is a continuous ride that takes roughly 30 minutes to make its complete circle trip reaching 550 ft at its highest point. They also offer an all you can drink pod for a more premium price. We went at night and it wasn't too busy so the line went relatively quick. I would like to do it again during the daytime or at sunset!

    At 550 feet tall, this iconic wheel is the largest observation wheel in North America. It takes about 30 minutes to ride it, which includes one smooth steady and slow rotation. We did it because it was included in the Las Vegas City Pass. The views are great. There is also a video that plays that acts as your guide during the ride and provides interesting facts and history. The cabins are spacious and air-conditioned. I would recommend going at sunset or at night - I think the views look even better then.

    Tabitha C.

    The high roller was one of my favorite attractions in Vegas for sure! I think it's well worth the costs and the photo for our memory (purchased one photo for $44). The view is beautiful and the ride up is super smooth. I only wish it lasted even longer than the 15-20 mins. Definitely recommend, loved it! We only had a half dozen people on our pod. They do have a bar before you get on if you want to purchase but they let me bring my own drink on with me. There's a gift shop afterwards if interested.

    Laura M.

    This is a really fun experience and you get gorgeous views of almost all of Vegas! It's about 30 mins long. It's a little chilly on the ride so bring a sweater. It's very slow- you can barely even tell that you're moving. Even if you're afraid of heights, this is a really fun activity and you will love it!

    "Big wheel keep on turnin' Proud Mary keep on burnin' Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river" (Ike and Tina Turner) What a fantastic time we had on the High Roller! It's a humongous Ferris Wheel with fully enclosed pods that you can walk around in to get 360-degree views of the Las Vegas Strip from 550 feet in the air. It's supposed to be the world's tallest observation wheel, certainly larger than the ones we've enjoyed in Montreal or London. The ride lasts 30-minutes for one full revolution of the wheel. We rode the wheel after dinner, and had great views of the Las Vegas Strip, the Bellagio Fountains and Caesars Palace. But to me, the greatest feature of the High Roller was the fantastic views of the ever-changing Sphere. Watching the Sphere morph from one design to another in a full palette of colors and imaginative animation is a mesmerizing experience!

They won't allow you to bring your phone or anything else in your pockets onto the ride. Staff actually check before you board, and if you have anything on you, they'll send you back to put it away. Luckily, there are lockers nearby for around $1, so storing your belongings is quick, easy, and inexpensive. We visited on a Friday night and purposely waited until it was dark so we could enjoy the views of the Las Vegas Strip while riding. We had purchased our tickets online ahead of time, which I highly recommend because it allowed us to skip the ticket line. Once inside New York-New York, the coaster was easy to find, and we only waited about 30 minutes to ride. As a plus-size woman, I was happy to find that I fit comfortably on the ride, which is always something I appreciate knowing before visiting an amusement attraction. It was over 100°F outside the night we rode, so flying through the loops, twists, and huge drops while getting blasted with warm desert air made for a pretty wild experience! I'll admit, I was a little terrified--the drops are much bigger than I expected, and I rode a good portion of it with my eyes closed. The ride itself is fairly short, but it's packed with excitement from start to finish. My teenager absolutely loved it, and even though it scared me a bit, I'm really glad we did it. If you're visiting Las Vegas with kids or teens, I'd definitely recommend adding the Big Apple Coaster to your itinerary.

Half of the cars were either dysfunctional or set to a slow setting with no rhyme or reason. Our next race, our daughter was so excited she is tall enough to try the sprinter car on her own (58in) so we went to check that out. We waited 10 mins for a race to finish then the worker told us she could only fit 8 racers despite there being 15+ cars. So we had to wait another round. Another 20+ mins gone. Half an hour in, we only had 2 races in. In total, we were able to get 5 races in the hour time frame (one of which was past our time limit, but the worker let us go anyway). We have been going to Mini Grand Prix for years and this was the worst experience by far. The races are shorter, the lines are longer, the wrist bands are more expensive and the facilities have not been updated. Our daughter, on her own told us, it's not the same anymore : (

How can you go wrong with an electric powered vehicle that was designed for bumping into other cars? Well, head on collisions can really mess up your back, spine, or whatever other skeletal terms you wanna go by. That is why for this track you are only supposed to go in one direction. In this case, counter clockwise. Still you will have those people that either dont know how to drive or just wanna be idiots and bump into everybody or both. You must be 54 inches tall to drive, at least 42 to ride. Before you are even let on to the track, you have those measuring sticks there at the entrance. Make sure to buckle up or the attendant walking around will not let the fun begin. Each car can fit two people if one is not tall enough to drive. There is only the one gas pedal on the left. To slow down or stop, simply just take your foot off the pedal. Or you can just bump into somebody if you wanna stop right away. To back up towards whatever direction you wanna go just turn the steering wheel to all the way to the extreme right or left. In the end, even after all this info, some people just dont know how to drive. Dont let any of these people drive you to the hospital.
