The passenger cabins or “pods” can hold up to 40 people. They’re sealed tight, climate controlled, & have flat screens inside to inform / entertain guests during the ride.

Passengers pay $25 to ride during the day & $35 at night. It takes approximately 30 minutes to take passengers on one full revolution. If you want to party sky-high, you can also pay to rent out an entire pod or have a wet bar rolled-in for an extra charge, of course. Tickets can be bought individually or in groups. Groups of 10 or more receive discounted rates.

The wheel is the showpiece of The LINQ, a new outdoor shopping, dining and entertainment district. The High Roller has 28 glass-enclosed cabins, each weighing 44,000 pounds. Each ride is 30 minutes, the time it takes for the entire wheel to rotate. Each cabin holds up to 40 people, totaling 1,120 at full capacity. Monday, March 31, 2014.

The $550 million dollar project took two years to complete, creating 3000 construction jobs and 1500 permanent positions.
