This is maybe the best view in Las Vegas. It really was awesome in the traditional sense of the word. It seems expensive for basically a Ferris Wheel ride, honestly, I thought it was well worth the price. I cannot recommend enough that you go at night, I'm sure it's still impressive during the day but really you guys, go at night, it's a bit more expensive but it's definitely worth it. It's far enough off the strip that it feels almost alien - like you're viewing it from a spaceship, but it's close enough that the lights of the strip are still breathtaking. Speaking of the location, it's kind of weird, the strip is on one side and the other seems to be some kind of commercial/industrial district so you can look out that side but it's incredibly boring.
There is a bar in the ticket taking area so if you don't get tickets for the pod with a bar actually in it, you're still covered booze-wise and they make a mean cocktail, I mean I was really impressed and after a week of pretty good cocktails that was saying something.
