What the High Roller is

The ride and the view
What to expect on board.
The wheel turns slowly, so you have time to look in every direction. You look over the Strip from 550 feet. Bring a phone or camera, but do not count on a particular building being in your frame.
A ride in daylight and one after dark look different. The base ticket costs less than the Anytime ticket, so check which hours each one covers before you buy.
The Happy Half Hour and Fly LINQ
Two extras at the same spot.
Happy Half Hour
This is a separately booked cabin with an on-board bartender for the 30-minute rotation. It is for guests 21 and over, with up to 25 guests. It is not the regular ride for families, so do not mix the two up when you book.
Fly LINQ
Fly LINQ is a zipline at the LINQ Promenade. One ticket covers one ride and cannot be transferred. Check hours, age and weight rules before you go.
Opening hours
The wheel's hours change by day and by season. Check the current timetable before you go so you do not arrive outside operating hours.
High Roller or helicopter?
Two ways to see the Strip from above, compared by time and starting price in 2026.
| High Roller | Night helicopter flight | |
|---|---|---|
| Time | About 30 minutes per rotation, about 1 hour with boarding | About 10 to 15 minutes in the air, plus check-in |
| Starting price | From $22 per ticket | From $139 per person on the shared Vegas Views flight |
| Height | 550 feet | Altitude and route differ by flight |
| Cancellation | Check the terms of your ticket | Free up to 72 hours before one flight |
The wheel gives you more time in one place at a lower price. A flight covers more ground in a shorter time and costs more. You may want only one of the two, so decide which fits your budget and how long you want to look.
For ticket choices, keep three checks in mind. Compare the total at checkout, not the headline price. Check which hours your ticket covers. Read the age rule for the Happy Half Hour before booking, since it is for guests 21 and over. Prices for children and the exact opening hours change, so look at the current timetable on the day you plan to go.
