LAS VEGAS (AP) — Tourists began taking in the view Monday from a skyline-changing observation wheel that offers a unique overview of sparkling Las Vegas Strip resorts, wide skies and craggy brown mountains in the distance. Van Kim, an airline call center employee from Phoenix, declared the experience “unanimously awesome.” Kim stood in line for six hours to be in the first gondola to complete the 30-minute ride on the 550-foot High Roller.
