Best time to visit

If you prefer a calmer experience and shorter wait times, weekdays are your best bet, especially during early afternoon or late at night. Crowds tend to be lighter compared to weekends.

For stunning views with fewer people, plan your ride during the shoulder seasons (like January to March or late September to early November) when Las Vegas isn’t as packed with tourists.

If you’re after the city’s dazzling lights, sunset to nighttime rides (especially on clear evenings) offer the most unforgettable views,  just expect larger crowds on weekend evenings and peak holidays.

  • Outside food and drinks are not permitted, but you can enjoy beverages from the bar if you opt for the Happy Half Hour ticket. Happy Half Hour cabins are 21+ only, so carry a valid photo ID if you’re booking this experience.
