The High Roller wheel falling short on riders

Not too surprised.

I've seen the view from the Strat, the Eiffel Tower, airship, high hotel floors, etc. It might be fun to do with friends who haven't seen the view, especially at night.

As for cost, it will save me money by getting me away from the casino for an hour when I get around to taking a ride!
I suspect within 10 years this monstrosity is gone.

I think even quicker.

Yes it's the tallest ferris wheel in the world, but there's many buildings in Vegas taller.
No way would I ever ride and then the price. No way x 2.


That thing has been a joke since it's inception.
I dont see it going away anytime soon...i wouldn't be surprised to see $10 tickets, though
I'd go for $10...with a LVA 2 for 1
I've been on it and the views are not very spectacular. Since it is offset from the strip, you get to see a lot of the backs of the hotel buildings and the parking lots.

The best view is looking east towards Boulder Highway, which ain't a tourist destination!
with the non-spectacular views they will need to lower the price, but I don't think it should go away. wouldn't it have been more fitting at circus circus, just add elephant ears and other carnival food.
I wonder if Caesars set this up as a separate corporation. If so, then it will likely go bankrupt and sell for a small fraction of the build cost. Depending on how their bean counters view the current Caesars bankruptcy, they might write down the Wheel value by a slug anyway. Once that value is written down, they can lower prices and still make money.
