Vegas is the wrong home 4 that
Jim Dolan’s mouth is like an email from Grandma. ALL CAPS.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How dumb!!! 🤦🏾♀️
imagine the computacional power to make this work…
it runs on a 5600x
not that much
No, no, no, no….the world is flat. Not a sphere.
Birds aren’t real.
@KLXC I completely agree.
How to create a news piece that actually shares almost nothing…
Anybody else thinking these are all “preludes” to in the Scriptures where in the book of Revelation-where people were made to worship the image of the beast?
No lol
Lol
All the AI and the labs where they are growing babies out of embryonic cells and the hybrid animals they are creating…bioengineered insects/animals…it’s coming.
What?
?
🧐😑, stop believing in man made garbage it’s 2023
What a complete waste of money.
We could solve so many problems with the amount they spent but instead they built this to entertain the peons…
Big WASTE OF ENERGY
I’m afraid of it getting hacked 😅
Count on it.
I am waiting for my Bangtan Seoyeondan (BTS) to make a cb in year 2025 & do world tour!
They must definitely & absolutely choose this BEAUTIFUL SPLENDID mega stadium as part of the venue!
ARMY!!!
Do please saving lots of money 😅
I am assume the price will be soooooooooo expensive 😂
The parking alone cost $100 for the U2 concert.
@TheoTheLeoHoly crap! I guess I’ll see it when some provider decides to stream it
@Paul Philippart You can always use a rideshare, though.
I would love to see The Disco Biscuits play there.
Apparently, he got enough money to get new mouth full of teeth, despite them being too big and placed crooked in his mouth. Just another satisfied patient.
THEY CAN INVEST IN THIS NONSENSE BUT NOT HELP THE SEVERE HOMELESS SITUATIONS THERE. GREEDY!! IDIOTS!!
A grotesque abuse of technology and capitalism. 🤮🤮🤮
A.I. forever…. Welcome SkyNet to Las Vegas.
No body:
Aliens: gosh these humans sure are obsessed with balls…
And the tickets to shows are so cheap
About time to US got out of the Stone age!
His teeth are more impressive than the venue
This no safe robot an y’all aren’t questioning a thing when the mark of the beast comes this is how y’all willing take it😮
It looks stunning
I think they predicted this in horizon forbidden west.
So they finally made theaters in feel-a- round?
Imagina um show do pink floyd nesse lugar, com todas aquelas imagens psicodélicas, seria de outro mundo
Sem dúvida!
lol this place is going to be surrounded by acidheads in no time
When I was a kid back in the 60s we used to just talk loud kids these days with their speakers
LIKE FOR PHISH
玉がデカすぎる、すこ
Will cause accidents on the streets.
I can’t believe the worst owner in NBA’s history (maybe second only to Sterling), had such an amazing idea! As a Knicks fan am baffled in a surprising way!
The man is insanely rich why would it surprise you that he would do something like this? Cos he owns a sheety ball team? Smh think about it.
If I had to guess what band would play inside a massive futuristic sphere in Las Vegas my first bet would have been U2 and I am both pleased and somewhat uncomfortable that my guess is entirely correct.
I guessed u2 and feel great
The kid in me desperately wants to throw rocks at it. 😇
How much do you wanna bet the one on the Earth is going to be some lefty environmental message….
Thats not a sphere if its flat at the bottom
die haben alle an Poscha
뭔가 한 단계 발전한거같아.
They say the only thing in vegas more dazzling than the sphere is his teeth!
I wish people could see things thing in real life and not just on the internet.
So much experience is wasted by looking at things online simply because we have no money or means to see these things in the real world..
Yeah I agree, tickets start at $1000 to see U2
Thanks for the comment man!@David Potts
Im looking at this thing and im like meh.
Im sure it looks way cooler in the real world.
It looks like what I imagine a peanut butter and jelly sandwich looks like (I’ve never seen one).
I’m sure you talk just to hear your own voice 🙄
Overhyped
Is it bulletproof?
Imagine having a dead pixel on that thing
What about carbon emissions??? 😢
It’s the most incredible in this world!!!
And they say America isn’t building interesting things anymore.
People dont have access to clean water but sure this is fun, too
This is the coolest building in the world. Beyond the Eiffel Tower, the Sydney oprah house, this is amazing.
Eiffel Tower? OLLLDDDD! Sydney Opera House? BOOORRRING! Sphere? We’re finally getting the future we were promised decades ago.
Flying cars coming soon.
Flying cars are not happening.@Can’t Tell You
Eiffel tower and the Sydney opera house are not even on the same level. 😂
Hmmm
U2 don’t belong in the same sentence as ‘entertainment’ never mind ‘the future of…’
Waste of money.
He’s needs better veneers wth 😂
He’s really trying to sell it
$500/hr to listen to music luuul
Wow! Can’t wait to experience it.
I can’t wait to experience this
Big deal!
*How much is the electric bill?*
All that money, all that technology, all that innovation, and the first act booked is…U2.
What a huge disappointment.
I guess whoever’s in charge doesn’t remember that Apple gave everyone with an iPhone a free U2song and no one wanted it.
U2 have one of the biggest fan bases in the world
Time to go to Vegas with some shrooms 🎉🎉🎉
Wait, is it ready? I thought it was being planned still.
I don’t get it, so it’s the robot inside it and it’s a theater? So you get to talk to the robot and see a show/movie?
Giant i max.
this is definitely one of the best things ive ever seen!! im going to an event inside one day for sure
what a waste of money, what is supposed to be impressive about projecting lame images on a circular screen?
Dude it was the moon!
Visuals are amazing. But here’s the thing – unless the visuals dont keep changing, they are going to be a HUGE distraction to focusing on the performance. As it is, cellphone videoing is already a HUGE distraction to focusing on the performance. Concerts in the 20th Century were way better.
Aura?? That is Ameca isn’t it???
I grew up with access to an IMAX dome theater and I LITERALLY can’t wait to get a chance to see this place!!!
Me too in Richmond Virginia
Where is it? I just drove though Vegas on the 15 all the way on the way to Utah, didn’t see it
I would LOVE to see Pink Floyd do a show in that!!!
That would be unbelievable. I would watch the Pulse tour replayed on there.
So wait it’s a giant orb but inside it’s only half a stage? I would of been disappointed. $2 billion dollars and you made half a stage. The whole thing should have seats around it. Like a 360 degree show. Now that would be worth two billion.
I wonder how long it will take for this to look retro and outdated. It usually happens with things that try to look futuristic.
I don’t want it I don’t need it
YEAH SPEND BILLIONS ON A FREAKING BUILDING BUT WHO CARES ABOUT HOMELESS VETS AND OTHER PROJECTS THAT COULD USE BILLIONS
You think this was funded by the government?
TRUMP 2024🎊👍🇺🇸
Cool, so kinda like the sphere 3d cinema at ontario place canada, just on a MUCH more grandiose scale..
Beyoncé is gonna love performing in that lol wow
Im here for it yes we are going on a whole new level 🛸 #futuristic
There’s about to be so many neo-hippies making pilgrimages to this thing
it’s too round
Foolishness
Id live in Vegas for one simple reason. To get a job at the sphere. Why? Im not paying to see a show there when i can flip the script & get paid to see every fkn show. Ha!
this is not good
Is there any way we could do IMax but even larger and more expensive?
I bet a quarter of the money the spent on this would clothe, house, and feed the same amoujt of people as how mant seats inside 😂
Hopefully, it was a good gig for the workers who built it. On to the next job brother. Willing to bet you’ll never visit it.
Remember when U2 forced their album on everyone’s iPhone? Not surprised they are “pioneering” this too.
It’s powered by led not oled 😒
2.3 billion? How long will it take to make your money back? Jeeesus
Talk about traffic when you try to get home from work everyday.
I Hate it! It’s too Big, it’s a huge driving distraction, it’s too bright & takes up way to much energy; It Just feels like they tried to do too much.
Wait till they start adding ads to it 😂
Its an earth in Our earth.. Like we live in and Not at the earth hha
Great, even more light pollution. This stupidity can only come from America.
A city spent billions on a TV, I wonder how the roads will be on the way to see it.
We can build crap like this but can’t solve world hunger.
I wonder how often they have to clean the outside, and what that looks like.
Great Technology illuminated high light spherical beauty.
Meanwhile people need living wages,population is out of control in unequal ethnicities, students in school would be better getting paid to train in things that would benefit our world and countries, other countries need more freedom and Better laws for the people, and cleaning and taking care of natural resources, along with better healthcare industry and better healing where people are actually helped. Improved bio tech for people pick your passion.
This is the coolest idea in entertainment for several decades !
