We got a buy one/get one coupon from a coupon book at our hotel, so we went to the ride. The price on the board outside the ride states that a daytime ride is $10.50/person, but including all the Vegas taxes and casino fees, it ends up being about $17/person. We went up anyway and the view is definitely a good one. It's one of the highest points on the trip. There's an elevator every 4 minutes, so you can leave at any time or stay longer. We ended up being able to watch the Bellagio fountain show from the top, which was nice, and we could also get a 360 view of the whole city. There is a tight grill/cage around the area with small 3x3 portholes for camera shots along the cage. If you can stick your camera in there, you can get uninhibited views in every direction. We were able to withstand the heat for about 30 minutes before we had to go down. It might be prettier at night, but other reviews said that it was crowded (at it's more expensive). It was relatively free during the day. We didn't really have to wait in line, and we got some nice pictures of the city.
