High Roller Insight

No bathrooms. Now I understand why they don't have a bar or refreshments in the cabin.
Does it have to be shut down during high winds?
If that thing breaks off it's axis it might roll down the LV strip taking out thousands of porn slappers.

kind of depends on who the other 39 people are ? Years ago was stuck on an elevator at the Orleans with three beauty pageant contestants. I'm sure the ten minute wait was much longer for them than it was for me.

I have some questions; 1) How long will it take to load up to 40 people into each gondola?, 2) how long will it take to load 28 gondola's?, 3) while loading, what do the other loaded gondola's do, other than move in increments while the loading of all 28 gondola's is completed?, 4)Are the gondola's cleaned (of, food, vomit,,etc.) after each ride?,5) While during the unloading, loading and during the ride-what will happen to the people who need a restroom break?, 6) What will be done about all of the fights that break out among the drunk, rowdy idiots that will ride?, and 7) Why should anyone want to pay $60 to be loaded first when they will have to spend who knows how much time waiting for the other gondola's to load?

The High Roller User PODS, not Gondolas...so this question is moot

2) how long will it take to load 28 gondola's?,
Again with the gondolas? See Answer 1

3) while loading, what do the other loaded gondola's do, other than move in increments while the loading of all 28 gondola's is completed?,
Dude...are you fixated on 'gondolas'? See Answer 1

4)Are the gondola's cleaned (of, food, vomit,,etc.) after each ride?,
NO GONDOLAS....PODS. See Answer 1

5) While during the unloading, loading and during the ride-what will happen to the people who need a restroom break?,
They either hold it or pee in their pants.

6) What will be done about all of the fights that break out among the drunk, rowdy idiots that will ride?, and
The same thing they do with all the Drunk, Rowdy Idiots that try to ride the Strat rides.....throw them off.

7) Why should anyone want to pay $60 to be loaded first when they will have to spend who knows how much time waiting for the other gondola's to load?
No gondolas man, NO GONDOLAS. If you want to ride a fucking gondola so bad, go to the Venetian..


Clearly someone hasn't been to Lake Tahoe, where you get indoctrinated with the term "gondola", which is very similar (just smaller) to a POD on the High Roller. No need to get in a twist about it.

They don't fill them up. Two can ride alone. If you have a larger party up to 40, all can ride together.

I was gonna say, I'm certain Harrahs went into this blind and they figured they'd just "wing it" as these things came along.

HEY! another one for the old slang "just wing it man"

I may be wrong, but it seems most of your questions are based on the assumption that the wheel stops to load each car/pod/gondola. I believe it is in constant motion, with people getting on and off by stepping into the moving car. This is the explanation used for the Singapore Flyer:

Boarding: To board the capsule, you use the “step on platform” – it’s like walking on level ground into the capsule. There are two synchronised doors and two platforms on each side – making it easy for the elderly and those in wheelchairs to get on and off.


Not sure what would happen if someone barfed all over, but I'd guess there is some lucky employee standing at the ready to take a trip around while cleaning everything up I hope there is some way to open windows.
