Question of the Day - 11 March 2020

Q:

I've noticed that the High Roller observation wheel changes color frequently. All the colors are bright and unique, it seems, though I've seen repeating patterns, so they're certainly not infinite. How many are there? 

A:

In total, the Vegas High Roller has a 36-color palette that can be combined in multiple permutations, using 2,000 LED lights cued to come on at sunset.

According to Caesars Entertainment, the High Roller has several predetermined color combinations, like the red-white-and blue display used on the Fourth of July. When Prince died, the High Roller went to an all-purple color scheme. For St. Patrick's Day, it turns green. And when it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the it switches to pink.

"We can also take full manual control of the color selection, but how they 'play' around the wheel is all handled by the lighting computers," says a Caesars spokeswoman. The colors can even "race" around the perimeter of the wheel.

 

How many colors can the High Roller observation wheel display?

    Fixtures
    There are multiple fixtures going all around the wheel, which is how it gets the various patterns. But each fixture is nothing more than a modern computer controlled stage light.
    
    IE. The fixture is like an oversized TV or computer monitor pixel. 256 shades each of red, green and blue, or 16 million colors per fixture.
