Opened on 31 March 2014, Las Vegas’ High Roller Ferris Wheel is currently the tallest Ferris wheel in the world, eclipsing its predecessor—the Singapore Flyer—by nine feet. Owned by Caesars Entertainment, the wheel sits across the street from Caesars Palace on the famed Las Vegas Strip and next to the Linq. In addition to offering stunning and panoramic views of the Strip and all of the Vegas Valley, there are many special packages offered. Take a look at this impressive modern marvel.
The High Roller soars 550 feet above the center of the Las Vegas Strip, eclipsing both the London Eye and the former tallest Ferris wheel in the world, the Singapore Flyer.

A one-hour yoga class is also available. Instructors from Silent Savasana guide up to six students through a one-hour, two-revolution semi-private yoga class. Imagine staring at the scenic views from atop the wheel instead of the same ole’ yoga mirrors. Classes range from beginner to advanced, and mats are available to rent.
