Photo of the Week: Las Vegas High Roller

  • May 25, 2019
  • Brad A. Johnson

If you haven’t already done so, you really must take a ride on the High Roller the next time you’re in Las Vegas. Topping out at 550 feet, this is the world’s tallest observation wheel. It moves really slow, and the ride takes about 30 minutes. The views of Las Vegas and The Strip are incredible. Make sure you go at sunset to catch the best light. And for that, you might need to get in line 20 or even 30 minutes before the official sunset time. The entrance is located behind the Linq hotel.

Rates from $22; High Roller, 3535 Las Vegas Blvd South., Las Vegas, 800-634-6441
