We present the results on elliptic flow with multi-strange baryons produced in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt {s_{NN} } $ = 2.76 TeV. The analysis is performed with the ALICE detector at LHC. Multi-strange baryons are reconstructed via their decay topologies and the v
2 measurements are analyzed with the two-particle scalar product method. The p
T differential v
2 values are compared to the viscous hydrodynamical (VISH2+1) model calculation and to the STAR measurements in Au-Au collisions at $\sqrt {s_{NN} } $ = 200 GeV. We found that the model describes ≡ and Ωv
2 measurements within uncertainties. The differential v
2 of ≡ and Ω is similar to the STAR measurements at 200 GeV in Au-Au collisions.
