Stratosphere, High Roller Named Among TripAdvisor Top Attractions

LAS VEGAS, NV - This just in: Las Vegas does tourism well. TripAdvisor seems to agree. The travel company named the Stratosphere and The LINQ's High Roller among the top 25 attractions in America this fall.

The High Roller comes in 17th on the list and the Stratosphere Tower is 19th. Attractions on the list were compiled and ranked based on search data on TripAdvisor's website.

“TripAdvisor Attractions data shows that travelers have a strong interest in historic attractions this season, as well as continued interest in Southern nature and structures,” said Brooke Ferencsik, senior director of communications for TripAdvisor.

The High Roller is the world's tallest Ferris wheel, perching guests 500 feet above the Las Vegas Strip during a half hour trip. The ride offers an open bar experience and views of Las Vegas that might only be rivaled by the Stratosphere.

With a complete 360-degree view from the highest point in the city, it doesn't get much better than the Stratosphere's observation deck for sight seeing in the Las Vegas Valley. Atop the tower you can get a drink or if you're feeling adventurous the tower offers a number of thrill rides that dangle passengers over the Las Vegas Strip.

The Grand Canyon's South Rim was named America's top tourist attraction for the fall season.

“TripAdvisor Attractions data shows that travelers have a strong interest in historic attractions this season, as well as continued interest in Southern nature and structures,” said Brooke Ferencsik, senior director of communications for TripAdvisor.

Results showed that searches for the High Roller and Stratosphere increased by seven percent from 2016 to 2017 during the fall season.
