The Observation wheel in Las Vegas reaches the height of 550 feet, making this the tallest observation wheel in the United States. While up there, tourist get the panoramic Las Vegas Strip views, surrounded by desert, including distant mountain range when the sky is clear.

The Linq Observation Wheel is a more modern design, with smoother rotations for a quieter ride. The extra height will also get you a broader perspective to viewing the city.

Capacity and Comfort Inside Each Cart

Each cart in Las Vegas can hold up to 40 guest, compared to the London Eye that accomodates about 25. At the Linq, visitors will find climate controlled cabins, providing comfort from the outside weather conditions. The floor to ceiling windows give tourist non obstructed views on Sin City.

The London Eye also has climate controlled cabins, but may feel a little different as they are a little more crowded. Both wheel do a great job on providing audio guides and information about the landmarks surrounding the wheels, but the Linq has modern digital displays inside each cabin.
