Admittedly there are great views up near the top. We were in a pod with about 12 total so there was lots of room to move around but there were usually people standing against the windows where we wanted to take pictures so we had to wait till they were done to get a photo ourselves. Tip: stand on the side facing the strip when you get in, which is right when you get in the doors. And as others said it is not a scary ride at all. The biggest issue was the price. We went up at night and it was $36.95? per adult. pricey for a half hour ferris wheel ride. Don't think I'd do this again.
