The main attraction of the Ferris wheel is taking the 30-minute ride that will allow you to see all points of the city, so there are no guided tours of the High Roller, although some tours of The Strip or Fremont Street include a walk along the boulevard of the Ferris wheel to see its dimensions up close.

As with tours of the Stratosphere Tower, the High Roller is used as a vantage point to discover the city from above and is certainly worth seeing the Las Vegas skyline.

The 30-minute High Roller ride also includes a tour of the history of the sites that can be seen from the windows of the cabins, such as the Bellagio fountains, the Eiffel Tower, the Pyramids or the best museums in the city, from screens located in each viewpoint.

The High Roller is one of the most visited attractions in the city, so if you plan to travel to Las Vegas in December or in the high season months I advise you to buy tickets in advance.

This way you will avoid being sold out or not available for the exact day you plan to make the ride.

Tickets are also usually cheaper if you buy them in advance online and you will also avoid long lines at the ticket office, especially during clear days, which is when the Ferris wheel attracts the most visitors.

The ride on the Ferris wheel lasts 30 minutes, so you can make this visit during any time of your itinerary, but buying your tickets in advance you can organize a tour of the city and make the most of your visit to High Roller to make a tour of The Strip or Fremont Street.

The ride on the High Roller takes 30 minutes and its location on The Linq, in the heart of The Strip, ensures that you can easily access it from downtown and the surrounding areas if you are using public transportation or the city's tour buses.

If you bought your tickets in advance, access is quick. It could only be delayed if you have to wait at the ticket office to buy tickets and then queue to get on the Ferris wheel.

When is the best time to visit the High Roller Ferris Wheel?

The answer depends on the view you want to get. If you want to see the immensity of the city and its surroundings, the best time is during the day, as long as the weather is clear so you don't miss any detail, especially if you are visiting Las Vegas in January or during the wettest months.

If you prefer to see the city lit up from above, the best time is at night, when you can see the neon lights of the casinos and hotels and also the Las Vegas buildings.

If you choose the night tour I advise you to place yourself on the right side of the cabins, which are those that point straight to The Strip, where you will find the best illuminations of the city.

If after your visit you decide to stay in Linq, you can dine at local restaurants or visit some of the famous bars in the area.

Tips for visiting the High Roller Ferris Wheel

The High Roller Ferris wheel is one of the most interesting attractions in Las Vegas, so once you settle into the cabin for the ride, you will only have 30 minutes to enjoy the best views of the city and the history of the buildings you observe through the window and that you can learn about through the screens of each viewpoint.

To optimize the experience, if you do not buy the ticket that includes the open bar, I advise you to buy a drink to consume during the walk.

If you choose a daytime ride, it is preferable that you stand on the right side of the booths, which is the one facing The Strip, so you will have the best views. This is also convenient for daytime rides, since the best illuminations in the city are found there.

Before or after your walk you can enjoy a shopping tour on Linq, The Strip or Fremont Street, where you will also find places to have lunch, dinner or a drink at a bar.
