The world’s largest Ferris wheel has opened in Las Vegas, at 550 feet or 168 meters high. The Las Vegas High Roller provides a 30-minute spin that includes a video and music presentation that fades out for guests to enjoy the beautiful sky...
It stands at an impressive 168 metres tall and has 28 glass pods which can each hold up to 40 people. The Las Vegas High Roller is about 33 metres taller than the London Eye and three metres taller than its nearest rival, the Singapore Flyer. But it won't be the tallest wheel for long, as two giant Ferris wheels are being built in New York and Dubai in the Middle East.
The Las Vegas High Roller is open 365 days a year and is the centerpiece of a new outdoor shopping, dining and entertainment district, The LINQ, on the Strip. Tickets to the Las Vegas High Roller are priced at $25 USD.
