    High Roller

    Ride the High Roller for the sunrise view. The cabin is enclosed, offering excellent views of the Strip as the sun rises toward the WNW. A full revolution lasts between 30 and 45 minutes, giving you plenty of time to watch the light change.

    Forum Shops

    Walk to the Forum Shops to stretch your legs and browse the high-end stores. The mall features free animatronics shows at the Fountain of the Gods and Atlantis, providing a cool break after the ride.

    Polaris Street Café

    Head to Polaris Street Café for breakfast. Since the High Roller is open early, this nearby café is the perfect spot to grab coffee and food once the morning rush begins. Check the route as it is located near the landmark, not directly at the High Roller.

Local tip

The High Roller opens early, but verify the specific opening time for your date as it can vary. The Forum Shops are indoors and air-conditioned, making them a comfortable place to wait out any mid-morning heat if your schedule shifts.

Check before you go

  • Confirm High Roller opening times for your specific date.
  • Polaris Street Café opens at 06:00, so you will have time for a post-ride breakfast.

Worth knowing

  • Polaris Street Café is open at 07:07 only on Mo, Tu, We, Th, Fr, Sa
