— a note from the studio

“A 168-metre observation wheel at the eastern edge of the Las Vegas Strip. Twenty-eight glass cabins climb and fall on a thirty-minute rotation. The wheel opened in March 2014 as the tallest in the world. From the top the desert opens north toward Sunrise Mountain and the Strip glitters south toward Mandalay Bay. It is the city seen at the city's own pace.

High Roller, on ceramic.

Each tile is finished by hand in our Knoxville studio. Artwork is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, and rests beneath a thin glossy finish. The colour lives in the surface, not on top of it.

— about High Roller

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.
— the place

The High Roller stands 167.6 metres (550 feet) above The LINQ Promenade, just east of Las Vegas Boulevard and across from Caesars Palace. Engineered by Arup and operated by Caesars Entertainment, it opened on 31 March 2014 as the tallest observation wheel in the world, a title held until Ain Dubai opened in 2021. The wheel carries 28 spherical glass cabins, each holding up to 40 passengers, on a single rotation lasting about 30 minutes.

— the light

The view changes most between half an hour before sunset and full dark. The Strip's signage warms first, then the desert behind Henderson loses its orange and the casinos take over the colour of the night. The Stratosphere tower marks the north horizon, and the Sphere glows to the east. The Spring Mountains rise behind the airport runways to the southwest. Glass cabins make the light feel close, even on a summer evening when a cabin can run warm.

— the visit

Tickets are sold timed-entry from the LINQ Promenade box office, with separate daytime and after-5 p.m. pricing. The wheel operates from late morning to around midnight, weather permitting; high desert winds can pause service. A single rotation takes about 30 minutes, long enough for a full pass through the daylight or full dusk. Happy-Half-Hour cabins serve drinks during the ride. The LINQ itself opened in 2014, replacing the former Imperial Palace block on the Strip.

— common questions

What people ask.

A few questions we get about High Roller — and about bringing the piece home.
— about the place

167.6 metres or 550 feet, measured to the top of the wheel. It opened in March 2014 as the tallest observation wheel in the world, a record held until Ain Dubai opened in 2021.

About 30 minutes for a single rotation. The cabins move continuously, so riders step on and off without the wheel stopping. The slow pace lets passengers stay through a full sunset or dusk.

On The LINQ Promenade, just east of Las Vegas Boulevard between Flamingo and The LINQ Hotel. The base is reached by an open-air walk from the Strip past shops and restaurants.

Up to 40 passengers per cabin, in 28 spherical glass cabins. Cabins are climate-controlled and offer a full 360-degree view through floor-to-ceiling glass.

Engineered by Arup and developed by Caesars Entertainment. It was part of a $550 million redevelopment of the former Imperial Palace block into The LINQ Promenade district.

No. Ain Dubai, which opened in October 2021, stands 250 metres tall. The High Roller remains the tallest observation wheel in the United States.

— about the piece in your home

Yes. The High Roller has become a recognisable silhouette of the modern Strip. For someone who proposed in a cabin or works at The LINQ, a Medium or Large reads as the moment, not just the city.

The colour runs warm gold, deep blue, and neon-pink edge. It suits modern, glam-luxe, and jewel-tone maximalist rooms. Less fitting in rustic or strict minimalist interiors.

The wheel's palette of warm metallics and night-sky blue maps cleanly onto the current modern-luxe and Art Deco revival trend. A Large above a velvet sofa or a Mural in a hotel-style hall both work.

Above a standard sofa a Large reads well, or a four-tile Mural for a wider wall. Over a console a Medium centres the piece. The full nine-tile Mural suits a long entry or bar wall.

Yes, in Dura Satin or Matte finish. Both are scratch-resistant and handle steam and splash. Reserve Glossy for framed wall pieces away from direct water.

Soft microfibre cloth with warm water. No abrasives, no ammonia, no bleach. The colour lives in the surface, so cleaning is simple and the piece holds its sheen.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece is made in our Knoxville studio. No licensing, no outside imagery. Reid Wender chooses every place that enters the atlas.
