High Roller in Las Vegas is 168 meters (550 feet) tall and 158 meters (520 feet) in diameter.
It is 2.75 meters (9 feet) taller than the Singapore Flyer and 33 meters (107 feet) taller than the London Eye, which for a while made it the Guinness Record holder for the largest Ferris wheel in the world.
The High Roller has 28 air-conditioned cabins, each of which can accommodate 40 guests.
While the wheel spins, the spherical cabins also rotate on their axis, ensuring the riders are always upright.
An entertaining audio tour will cover Las Vegas’ history during your ride, perfectly timed to point out the landmarks as they appear during the rotation.
The Las Vegas Ferris wheel takes 30 minutes to make one full revolution.
