| - When did this place open?! I haven't been to Vegas in a couple years so I guess somewhere in that timeframe. It's a nice outdoor alley of shops and places to eat. It's located right between the Flamingo Hotel and the Linq Hotel. If you're facing the Linq High Roller then you're in the right place. Parking is in the back on Koval but we walked since we were staying on the Strip.
Some noteworthy places to stop are Sprinkles, Yardhouse, Kitson, Ghiradelli, Putple Zebra, Photo & Go.
If you keep walking down the alley way, you'll be at the High Roller which I heard is pretty cool to ride. As their website says, it is 520 feet in diameter. The High Roller eclipses both the London Eye and Singapore Flyer. Facing north and south (parallel to Las Vegas Boulevard), the wheel takes 30 minutes to complete one full revolution and features 28 glass-enclosed cabins with broad views of the famed resort city. Each spherical cabin can hold up to 40 people. There are benches on either side of the cabin, with plenty of floor space in between.
Tickets are $26.95 during the day, $36.95 at night. You can fly solo or rent out an entire cabin for the ultimate bachelor, bachelorette or wedding party. Kind of pricey but I'm sure the views are great.
