Is High Roller Happy Hour worth it?
High Roller’s Happy half hour includes a ride in a cabin with an open bar and bartender to serve you drinks.
At $66 per person, the Happy Hour ticket costs $28 more than the regular High Roller ticket (priced at $38).
Despite the high cost, the unique Las Vegas experience is totally worth it.
The bartender is not allowed to pour your next drink only after everyone in the pod has had at least one.
As a result, the fewer guests in the cabin, the better it is for you.
Anyway, there is an upper limit of ten visitors per cabin.
Even if you end up with a full cabin, it is not something to worry about because the bartenders are very professional and don’t take more than 30 seconds to pour a drink and more than a minute to make a cocktail.
The High Roller Happy Hour cabin serves unlimited liquor, beer, wine, and cocktails for 30 minutes for only $28 more than the regular ticket price.
More alcohol
The Happy Hour experience is better at night, with the stunning Las Vegas views, which is why cabins have more guests after dark.
If you don’t mind missing the glittering Las Vegas skyline at night, you can try out the Happy Hour experience during day time.
You may miss the gorgeous lights, but you will receive superior bar service during your High Roller happy hour.
