One of the lucky ones! I happened to be strolling through the recently opened Linq and discovered that the view High Roller was about to open for business, so they were giving free preview rides. I was also lucky to happen by about 15 after they started giving away rides so I only had to wait 30 min to get on. \n\nOver all, it's a fantastic view, especially at night and if you've not been to Vegas much you get to see a lot. However, about 1/2 of the view is obstructed by the hotels closest to the ride. The other 1/2 is rather nice, but you can really only see the parts of the strip where there are low rise buildings. (I actually had a better view of the strip as I landed on my airplane) \n\nIt is a fantastic opportunity and pretty cool to be that high up. It's a pleasant 30 min ride with plenty of room to move about the cabin despite 35 people inside. I was waiting to see what pricing they put on it before I made a final conclusion. $25 before 6pm, $35 after 6pm (both with advance ticket purchase) and $60 to buy and ride immediately. \n\nUnfortunately, I don't think it's anywhere near worth that price. Especially when you start multiplying it by multiple family members. Will be interested to see how busy it is on a summer day...likely lots of people willing to pay that. \n\n5 stars for it being the highest in the world \n4 stars for the view \n3 stars for the experience (got bored about 20 min in)\n2 stars for the price\n3 stars overall
