The first passenger cabin for the High Roller observation wheel, centerpiece of the $550 million Linq development, was attached to the structure early Wednesday morning.
The 44,000-pound, spherical, glass-enclosed cabin was rotated to the 550-foot, midcenter point of the wheel. It took builders of the Linq about three hours to move the cabin 10 miles from its assembly warehouse. Four more of the planned 28 cabins were expected to be moved to the site early Thursday morning.
