This experience is definitely as good as it gets in terms of viewing the strip from above. While the price is a bit high, I do think that the experience is well worth it! The video that plays throughout is entertaining and the employees are good about not filling each pod with too many people at once.
You are able to request a bar that provides unlimited drinks for your 30 minute ride. Of course, this option is a bit more expensive, but hey, it is what it is.
The wheel moves very slowly so it's nothing to be afraid of.
My favorite part was seeing the entire view while the Bellagio water show was going on!
