Definitely something everyone should experience at least once while in Vegas. Its something that's on the pricey side but the life memory of being up 550 feet in the air and to see Vegas from a this unique angle is worth it. You can take drinks inside and that's exactly what me and my girl did, we got some big frozen slushie mix drinks before we boarded. The pods are big enough that even though you are in there with other strangers it doesn't feel awkward because there is plenty of space between everyone to move around and take a look from different sides of the pod. My girl said this was one of her favorite things we did on our Vegas trip. I would warn people who easily get motion sickness to be wary before buying tickets to get on. There are benches for you to sit on and it moves incredibly slow but my girlfriend said she got dizzy and sat down most of the ride, you still get killer views even if you do just sit in the pod.
