About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- R9942N0 contributionsStunning views at nightDefinitely do this ride at night! It is absolutely wonderful! The views are amazing and you get a first hand look at the Sphere while going around on the wheel. Highly recommend!Written February 16, 2025
- kellypN3500WW0 contributionsNot goodOur 12 ticket didn’t board until 12:50 and many cars went unused because of tech issues with AV No place for persons with disabilities standing room only on some of the carsWritten February 15, 2025
- Tour1939330 contributionsFantastic time !!We had a blast. A must do !We did the night time ! It’s worth it for the money. Beautiful and don’t even know you are moving! Sights are incredible!Written February 14, 2025
- Sasha M0 contributionsA good view of the strip at night all lit upGet a good view of the strip and suburbs behind it. It takes about 30 minutes to go around. We went at night so got to see Vegas all light up … but be mindful you do get some reflections from the glass if taking photos. We bought a fast track pass, but this is mostly useful in peak season… there were no queues when we went so perhaps the extra money could have been spent elsewhere s Vegas is not cheap … food and drinks are pricey if you aren’t paying the tables or slots.Written February 10, 2025
- Jackilyn C0 contributionsNice but not greatrecently went on the High Roller in Las Vegas, and honestly, I was pretty disappointed. The ticket prices are insanely high for what it is, and the view from the top is no different than what you get from many hotel rooms on the Strip. It felt like I was paying just for the experience of being in a giant observation wheel, but the view wasn’t unique enough to justify the cost. If you’re staying in a hotel with a decent view, you’re not missing much by skipping the High Roller. It’s just not worth the price in my opinion."Written February 7, 2025
- Discover7298370 contributionsVegas at night.In my opinion, the best time to go is after dark. You get a good view of the strip but the REAL SHOW STOPPER is the view of the Sphere. Wow! There was one downside. There is NO PARKING CLOSE BY the entrance to the High Roller. Parking ANYWHERE along the strip is non existent. The only option is self parking at a casino. Mobility impaired and wheelchair people will have a hard time getting there.Written February 6, 2025
- Relax6643940 contributionsLovely day for a sky rideCool location with a great view of The Sphere and parts of the city. Comfortable ride. Nice and helpful staff. Would like to see the windows clearer but guessing that's a never-ending task. Enjoyed the recording that told us facts and history.Written February 3, 2025
- Resort366922706180 contributionsMust go here once for the experience.It went very slow and you could stand or sit, or even walk around to take plenty of pictures, which we did. It lasted about 29 mins. We could see the Sphere, Trump Hotel , Wynn hotel, Eiffel tower,and the Bellagio water fountains. Paid $25.00 for parking though.Written February 1, 2025
- Bob M0 contributionsVery cool view!It was very cool view and well worth the time. We bought tickets online. Big cabin and only like 8-10 people per ride, so lots of room to move around.Written February 1, 2025
- RoadGourmet0 contributionsCheated out of $70Bought 2 tickets at a kiosk at the high roller. My credit card got charged but no tickets. Went to the ticket office and spoke to a rude woman who barely spoke english. Finally spoke to a manager after asking 10 times. Manager said wod get a refund on tickets but would have to buy 2 more and wait on refund. Was cheated out of $70 because I was from out of town.Written January 29, 2025
- curlySgirl0 contributionsAmazing TimeWe had the whole car to ourselves which was such a bonus! The drinking cars were packed so I'm glad we went with this option. I am normally terrified of heights but was totally fine being up that high. The views are incredible. I took lots of photos and videos. They have a TV in the car that tells you how high you are and when you are at the top. The ride itself is about 30 minutes and moves quite slow so you barely feel you are moving at times. We almost didn't do this but I am so glad we did. It was worth every penny and the fact that we had the car to ourselves was priceless!Written January 29, 2025
- TravelingBum520 contributionsGo at nightThe ride lasts around 30 minutes. Best view is when you’re completely on top. You can see the entire city. Too bad the glass is so dirty. They need to figure out how to clean the outside of it. When you enter they take photos. They turned out nice but way too expensive! $38 for just 1 $100 for 5. There are restrooms by the bar and then again right before you exit to get on the ride.Written January 28, 2025
- Anitalovetotravel0 contributionsThe views!!!Visited the HighRoller at LINQ a couple of weeks ago. We visited in the night, I won’t lie I was scared don’t like heights, but my husband was delighted on it. I have to say the view of the Strip , Sphere and vastness of Vegas is spectacular. I did stand up once or twice to have a look!!!. If in Las Vegas I would say it is a must do, it is high, but the views are amazing.Written January 27, 2025
- readingzmagic0 contributionsSuper Views with A Relaxing Ride!What a pleasant ride with excellent views. We used the Go City Pass to take our ride! We had a lovely group of people and took pictures for each other. Views are spectacular. We enjoyed watching the planes take off from the airport as well. It is a wonderful half-hour ride to see great views of the city and mountains!!Written January 23, 2025
- craigshare20 contributionsLas Vegas must do!The high roller is a great way to take a break and see Vegas from another perspective. I paid extra for the “free” bar and opted for sunset, look online for sunset times, it’s really quite a view. We maximised our session in the bar, lots of old folk had booked just after us so they had to keep stopping the wheel, must have got an extra 20 minutes 😉😎Written January 22, 2025

Booked ahead of time and wen for the High Roller Happy Half Hour ticket. The compulsory photo stop before you get on feels awkward, but some may like it... We had to wait a while outside in the cold for that specific pod to arrive which wasn't great - but understandable.
Upon entering the pod - (my wife and I were the only ones on that particular pod), we weren't 'welcomed' as such - in fact, the lady manning the bar just looked bored... Not great. When I asked for our drinks they were served and when I tried to strike up a conversation with her, she ended it abruptly... Given she had only been there for about an hour into her shift - she certainly wasn't a great ambassador for the ride or experience.
The ride itself is great, the timing and duration is just about right and the views spectacular. The recorded commentary is well paced and informative. This was our second ride on the High Roller - the previous was after dark - this visit during the day with clear weather and great visibility. Both visits gave stunning views of the Las Vegas skyline and beyond and it is well worth the money.
We took further drinks (in silence) throughout the remaining duration of the ride and the staff members' attitude did make it feel somewhat uncomfortable. Exiting the ride was easy and then the viewing of the photos taken before you board the pod, was probably more funny than it should have been (perhaps the drinks contributed?). However, $96 for a selection of photos with you super-imposed on parts of the ride (including one with an alien!) seemed a lot for very little - so we kindly didn't take up that offer.
Brilliant views, solid feel to the ride and comfortable pod - unfortunately let down by the staff member manning our pod on that day. Please don't let this put you off - it is well worth visiting.

We are in town for our 5 Year Anniversary trip and riding the High Roller was a must-do on my bucket list for the occasion. ✨
Honestly speaking; I was a bit torn about whether or not the Happy Half Hour option would be worth it — but am SO GLAD WE DID IT! Here’s why…
We arrived around 11pm on a Wednesday night (the last ride is at 11:30pm) and joined one other couple who also opted for HHH. We were lucky enough to have José as our host/bartender/Vegas Ambassador and I cannot put into words how much he elevated our experience (all puns intended!)
José was energetic, funny, personable, made excellent drinks and even DJ’ed for the four of us as well! The piece de resistance was the mini-photoshoot he gave us, complete with art direction to find our best angles. The photos came out absolutely STUNNING (images attached!!) and I’ll truly cherish them forever.
The High Roller is lucky to have him and that night WE were also so lucky to be able to have this experience with him.
Thank you for an unforgettable ride!

he High Roller open bar experience was an unforgettable way to take in the Las Vegas skyline. Despite being 550 feet in the air, the ride felt surprisingly smooth, making it easy to relax and enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views of the Strip. The highlight, however, was our bartender Cheryl, who really brought the energy. She kept the drinks flowing and the atmosphere lively, making sure everyone was having a great time. The combination of stunning views, great company, and Cheryl's infectious enthusiasm made this experience one of the most fun and unique ways to enjoy the city. Highly recommended for anyone looking to elevate their Vegas experience.

One of our favourite things we did in Vegas! We did the happy half hour, we went around 6/6:30pm on a Friday night before a Shania Twain show (pre booked tickets but you can turn up whatever time you like on the day selected).
We expected it to be busy but we were the only people in the queue and the only people in our pod so it was just me, my husband and our lovely bartender who I believe was called Kevin! (If I have got this name right, please give him a raise, a bonus, an award, EVERYTHING!) he was absolutely fabulous, full of interesting facts about vegas, took us some wonderful photos and made us the best tequila cocktails! We must have had 4 or 5 in 30 minutes it really is bottomless and our bartender was very knowledgable on recommending good drinks!
The views were amazing, the pods are nice and air conditioned, would highly recommend this!

The experience has been spectacular, at night you see all of Las Vegas including the sphere (which is to die for) you see the magnitude of Las Vegas.
On the other hand, it is very expensive and we get the tickets at the beginning of the street.
When we arrived there was a line, then they took you up to like a third floor and there were people there, it was boring to see almost no one and without almost an hour to get in. Then it looks comfortable

We re-visited the High Roller after getting married. Our cart was loaded with at least 15 people and our bartender was amazingly fast and getting well-made drinks out to everyone. This is still a must do (especially a great way to start a night out!)

A great time was had on the High Roller, we were offered free tickets by a company who’s guests hadn’t turned up. The observation platform had a free bar and the girl was pushing to serve you as many drinks as she could in 30 minutes. You can easily cover off your fee in drinks (if you’d paid). The views are amazing across the Strip and out in to the desert. I would definitely recommend paying the extra and going for the platform with a bar!

Very fun experience. We did it at night and the views were fabulous. It might take you a moment to get your first drink as the crowds close in, but the bartender was so dang fast that I didn't have trouble getting a drink after that first. And the drinks were STRONG! I had three drinks during the trip and it felt like more. You'll be friends with everyone in your pod by the time you get around!

We bought our tickets online so cannot comment on the customer service for that piece. But purchasing online we had no issues with getting through security/bag check. When we got to the lounge area on 2 the staff was helpful in directing us where to go. Once we were on our way to boarding the photo team was quick, although the photos were awful and we did not purchase them at the end.
We were sectioned off in the loading area and met our bartender Jose. Once we got in our car it was a great time! Jose provided such great, knowledgeable service. Shared some stories kept the drinks flowing and the 30 min flew by! The view is amazing at night and I would do this again absolutely!!!

Totally worth it the views are amazing. With the Happy Hour you have he bonus of the bartender sharing information so they act like a tour guide and bar tender. You will definitely get your moneys worth as the bartender pours some strong drinks. We went on before lunch which worked out well as we ate lunch right after. The ride itself moves very slow and there are windows on all sides. One of our group members was terrified to go on but she conquered her fears and was proud she did it. I’m sure the drinks helped!

My name is Fate Ingram. Confirmation # 1297-5647-42. My question: is there a certain time when alcohol is served. Because I see the word anytime &I'm making sure I paid 4 alcohol drinks being served
Written July 19, 2022
I paid for the high roller pod with the bar in - which included the drinks package, i thought there may be a maximum drink allowance, however, this was not the case, the drinks were served from getting on the high roller to the end of the ride, this roughly took around 1/2 hour(30 minutes) and we certainly got our monies worth on drinks being served. The views are spectacular.

Sorry- to be specific, the Happy Hour ticket includes drinks but there are tickets for just the ride and no bar package. They also have a bar while you're waiting in line so you can get a drink there as well.

Is the bar in the pod open for drink service in July? Due to covid, I wasn’t sure
Written June 28, 2020
It was open when we were there recently. I doubt they would sell a ticket to the bar pod without access to it! There’s a staffed bartender who takes care of everything. Def worth it!
