The High Roller Las Vegas in the USA is the newest addition to the list of exciting activities in this vibrant southern Nevada city. Nearly 3 meters taller than the Singapore Flyer in Singapore, this giant Ferris wheel currently holds the record for height (167.6 meters) and features 28 cabins, each with a capacity of 40 passengers.
This means that 1,120 people can simultaneously admire the Las Vegas skyline below. Its "sibling," The London Eye in the British capital, is about 30 meters shorter than the High Roller and seems to be losing ground to it.
Caesars Entertainment Corporation, the company currently managing the Ferris wheel, estimates it will attract around 4 million visitors in its first year of operation. Having opened in late March, the High Roller quickly became a major attraction and a source of excitement. Las Vegas at night is already dazzling, but it's even more impressive now with 2,000 LED lights illuminating the Ferris wheel, making it stand out against the skyline.
High Roller can be illuminated with monochromatic light or light that changes color over time. They also plan to change the colors for holidays and events.
The rollers of the Ferris wheel have a diameter of over 2 meters each, the largest ever. The 28 cabins have fixed outer shells, inside which is a spherical glass enclosure capable of rotating on its axis. 3,650 tons of steel and 112 cables (each nearly 70 meters long) were used to create the High Roller.
The average journey lasts 30 minutes, and you'll be able to enjoy a 360-degree view of Las Vegas below. You might think that 40 people in one cabin would be quite cramped, but the 20.9 square meter interior space allows all passengers to comfortably enjoy the scenery and capture memorable moments.
The price for a single ride on the High Roller is $24.95 (526,000 VND) during the day and $34.95 (737,000 VND) at night. Additionally, one- or three-day passes (from $44.95 and $54.95 respectively) allow you to ride the High Roller at any time (once).
