Good to check the box
by VB on 9/25/23High Roller Wheel at The LINQ Promenade - Las VegasA unique experience since the wheel doesn't stop, which is apropos for LV. The compartments are spacious and actually have limited seating. We fortunately had about 7 or 10 people altogether. We went about 11:00pm, providing a great opportunity to see the lights of Vegas. You'll definitely get some great pictures, however the windows are really dirty (water spots), so keep that in mind. I didn't see any closed captioning within the non-stop talking on the 3 or 4 screens within the cars, although (honeslty) I wasn't focusing on the screens much. One screen had the details of the ride; time in the compartment, the time remaining in the 30 minute ride, the current height, and some information about the wheel itself. The others had information about Las Vegas-sights to see. If you're lucky, you'll get a great view of the Bellagio water show. Overall, I gave 4 stars for several reasons; the windows, the one drinking car, and the ticketing. We had originally booked the happy hour tour, unfortunately, the line was incredibly long as there is only ONE car with the bartender so we went to the "regular"line. We had purchased the tickets about a month before our arrival, but when we went to use them-about 8 or 9 pm-the ride was "undergoing scheduled maintenance"(not really sure why maintenance isn't done when the ride isn't providing rides?). Although the tickets are good for 3 days prior or following the day booked-we had to wait in the 20 minute line to have them re-issued. It's worth the experience, but don't buy the happy hour tickets unless you're looking to wait & be in a crowded compartment.
