World’s Tallest Ferris Wheel Is Las Vegas Ferris Wheel – The High Roller
What is the World’s Tallest Ferris Wheel? It is the Las Vegas High Roller.
High Roller is a 550-foot tall (167.6 m), 520-foot (160 m) diameter giant Ferris wheel on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. It is the world’s tallest observation wheel, 9 ft (2.7 m) taller than the 541-foot (165 m) Singapore Flyer, which held the record for the world’s tallest observation wheel from 2008 until 2014. After nearly three years of planning and construction it is fully complete, and opened to the public on March 31, 2014.
Tickets were originally expected to cost less than $20 per ride, but estimates had risen to “about $25 per person” by mid-2012 then “about $30 per person” in September 2013 news reports. Pricing varies from $24.95 (day time rides) to $34.95 (night time). One day and three day flex passes are also available for $44.95 and $54.95. The flex pass allows the holder to ride once at any time of the day or a three day period. An Express Pass for $59.95 allows the holder to skip the line and ride any time. A full rotation of the wheel takes 30 minutes.
