Going Above and Beyond with Wovenpanel® Railings - High Roller, Las Vegas

Each year, thousands of visitors line up for a chance to view the impressive Las Vegas cityscape from 167 meters above the ground. The “High Roller” dazzles over 1000 guests at a time with scenic tours unlike any other. As you might imagine, this is quite a popular destination with long queues waiting for their turn to experience the sights.

This includes a 270-degree surround theatre, bar, and lounge. To keep ticketholders safe, Linford Wovenpanel® was used to create a strong but stylish railing system. With the open mesh pattern of Linford, the sights of the city are still visible as guests move toward the boarding area.

To best match the sleek look of the High Roller’s contemporary aesthetic, Linford was chosen for its strong but visually impressive lock crimp weave. This is characterized by a highly defined bump where wires intersect, providing the necessary durability for daily use. In serving a dual purpose of style and function, the wire mesh adds a sophisticated edge to this popular destination while protecting guests from falls.

As the world’s tallest observation wheel, The High Roller is a defining feature in the heart of Las Vegas. This spectacular thirty-minute ride called for a design solution that went above and beyond the usual run-of-the-mill railing. And while the main attraction is the panoramic view of Las Vegas, this stylish application of Linford in plain steel Wovenpanel® certainly rises to the occasion.
