Las Vegas’ skyline-changing High Roller at The LINQ was officially recognized as the World’s Tallest Observation Wheel last week. Guinness World Records Adjudicator Michael Empric joined the High Roller project team and crew, Caesars Entertainment executives, media and prominent members of the community at a splashy reception in the private “wheel house” reception space to do the honors. The party also featured a gallery exhibit by photographer Denise Truscello, showcasing photos of all phases of the wheel’s construction up to its recent opening.

The record is based on the total diameter of the wheel, which was required to be a permanent structure. In order to receive the record, the High Roller project team had to submit information about the wheel’s design and construction as well as an independent surveyor’s report verifying the measurements.
