“LAS VEGAS \u2014 Caesars Entertainment Corp. announced Wednesday that it obtained a key county permit to build the world’s tallest observation wheel in a more than half-billion dollar retail, dining and entertainment complex it is developing on the Las Vegas Strip.”<\/p>\n

“The Ferris-style wheel, dubbed the High Roller<\/strong>, is expected to stand 550 feet tall. It is the centerpiece of a planned $550 million development, dubbed LINQ, expected to open next year between the company’s Harrah’s Las Vegas, Imperial Palace and Flamingo Las Vegas casinos.”<\/p>\n

“The height would eclipse the nearly 443-foot London Eye, which opened in 1999, and the 541-foot Singapore Flyer, which opened in 2008. Both were the tallest observation wheels in the world when they opened.”<\/p>\n

“The Caesars project would also be taller than a 500-foot wheel called SkyVue<\/strong> currently under construction about 3 miles south on Las Vegas Boulevard. That wheel is also expected to open in late 2013″ read more…<\/a><\/p>\n

“Support structures are now about 200 feet high for the rival SkyVue<\/strong> wheel, being built by developer Howard Bulloch and Compass Investments across the Strip from the Mandalay Bay resort, near McCarran International Airport.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
