LAS VEGAS HIGH ROLLER WHEEL
Observation Wheel, 2014, - United States
Observation Wheel, 2014, - United States
When opened in 2014, the 168m tall High Roller Wheel in Las Vegas was the tallest passenger carrying giant observation wheel in the world. Located just off the central area of the famous Las Vegas Boulevard, the structure is part of the LINQ development, a district developed by Caesars Entertainment opposite Caesars Palace hotel, devoted to leisure and shopping.
The attraction has been a huge success, working seven days a week with a constant flow of tourists who want to enjoy the bird’s eye view over Las Vegas and the surrounding area. A complete rotation takes just over 30 minutes. Teufelberger-Redaelli designed and manufactured the cable system, made up of No.112 FLC cables which included a unique design with three depressed grooves in the cable outer layers to help prevent wind and rain induced vibrations and improve the stability of the structure. Fixed and adjustable sockets were designed and produced specifically for this project.
