When one thinks of Las Vegas high rollers, one imagines excitable dice players shepherded by sharp-eyed wise guys through plush, over-the-top venues. (
Martin Scorsese's Casino nicely captures the flavor of that era.) Well, the one city that truly never sleeps (sorry, New York) has challenged expectations, as a sales manager might say.
On Monday, a new ferris wheel called High Roller opened for business in Vegas. According to a piece in the Chicago Tribune, the 550-foot wheel of fortune offers arguably the best views of Sin City money can buy. And yes, the ferris wheel is definitely a pay-to-play event: the cheapest ticket to ride is $24.95. You'll need to add another ten bucks for an after-dark experience.
