Just hopped on the high roller with my family and we had a great time. You can see the entire city in all directions.
Family had a blast but in slow motion as the wheel moves in slow motion. I recommend everyone should try it once so you can see beyond the lights and tall buildings of the strip as there are more to Las Vegas then just the strip. The irony is that you have to head to the strip to get on this ride.
One last note, there is a countdown timer when you get close to the top of the wheel on display and make sure you use the restroom before you get on.
