The Linq is a 18,580 square feet shopping, dining and entertainment complex now under development in Las Vegas.
The Singapore Flyer, now the world's largest observation wheel, will be pushed into second place when Caesars Entertainment's High Roller opens in Las Vegas next year.
Part of The Linq, a US$500 million retail, dining and entertainment district now under development on the Las Vegas Strip, the High Roller will top 167 meters.
Each High Roller cabin will fit up to 40 people, says Caesars. That's two meters higher than the Singapore Flyer and seven meters above the currect second highest Ferris wheel, China's Star of Nanchang. The London Eye is the third tallest, at 135 meters.
Though preliminary construction on the Vegas attraction has been underway since late last year, Caesars Entertainment only recently obtained a key permit allowing them to proceed with construction.
