We rode the High Roller a couple of weeks ago. We boarded right as the sun was setting. There were no lines and we had the pod to ourselves! We used the $5 discount offered to those staying at the Quad. The view at the top as the sun was setting was breath taking! The Bellagio fountains were going while on the way down. It was completely dark by the time the ride ended, and there was a line to get in when we got off. We will do it again, but I agree the price will need to come down before those pods fill up.

Hi Jean! How did you like the Palm Springs tram? I went there with two girlfriends. When we arrived, I chickened out. That mountain was HUGE and I am somewhat afraid of heights. They strongly encouraged me to give it a try. I did it! And now I consider that event – conquering a fear-one of my life’s top 10 highlights. I hope you enjoyed it as well.

Jean I will check out your link for my Vegas.

I will certainly say as a yearly visitor that even a sign in once a week for 6 or 12 months that it is worth the free stuff.

We used a B1G1F buffet at the Mirage that allowed us to go twice while in Vegas last December. (We used our LVA coupon the second time).There is a limitation/ per month but as you always advise us “Coupons can be valuable”.

Please give the Wheel a spin after dark. We renewed our vows (40 Years) on our recent trip, and said our “I Do’s” at the 700 Ft. mark with the stars above us and the lights of Vegas below us. BEAUTIFUL !!

Jean, you should try the High Roller at night before you give up on it.

We too did the High Roller during our Memorial week trip and paid full price for a day ride. I believe it is overpriced and will see discounts in the future. I suffer a bit of high anxiety so I was very impressed with the view and was happy that I couldn’t feel the movement (slow and steady). We were lucky that we only had one other couple in the 40 person pod with the dear hubby and myself which makes me wonder if it is lack of interest or if its because its too expensive.
