The tallest Ferris wheel in the world, dubbed High Roller, at 550-foot has opened up in Las Vegas for adrenaline-junkies.

The Ferris wheel, which holds up to 40 people in 28 glass-enclosed and air-conditioned gondolas, was built by Caesars Entertainment Corp. and provides riders with a view of the Las Vegas Strip, CBS News reported.

A full revolution takes half an hour and tickets are for 24.95 dollars in the daytime and 34.95 dollars at night.

The height of the new Sin City ride tops the nearly 443-foot London Eye as well as the 541-foot Singapore Flyer.
