Rio Observation Wheel Talks Off

LAS VEGAS -- Voyager Entertainment International Inc. today said it and The Rio hotel-casino discontinued talks for development of a large ferris wheel-like tourist attraction at The Rio in Las Vegas.

Voyager said other potential sites have been identified for its proposed attraction, which it calls the world's tallest observation wheel.

"The Rio will continue to explore options for use of the land parcel originally intended for this project," The Rio said in a statement.

"I don't think we would have any comment beyond that," said Gary Thompson, spokesman for Harrah's Entertainment Inc., which owns The Rio. "It's their (Voyager's) project and it's always been their project."
