When I was out in Vegas for the 2 games I was introduced to James Dolon’s latest project The Sphere. It’s supposed to be the greatest audio experience for concerts. It was supposed to cost a billion. It’s now over 2 billion. U2 is supposed to open it in the fall. Also according to a podcast on Dolan, Knick fans should be hoping it’s a colossal failure as it actually might force him to sell the team. Anyway it also appears to have a pretty good video screen. It went live this week.

Been seeing videos on it for a week or so. Crazy technology. Absolutely “Vegas” lol it’s now a legit part of the skyline; wonder how far you can see it from. Right next to Venetian I believe

It’s really cool what they’re doing with this.
Going to be one of the best concert venues in the world if everything goes right.

I don't know, that might be 2 parts cool, and three parts major nuisance. The giant basketball would be annoying as hell, advertising run amuck. Definitely looks straight out of Blade Runner, which depicted the planet as a dystopian nightmare.

OTOH, it gives JD and the Straight Shot another place to play.
like there is no way they’re not opening for U2 on opening night.

I got stuck with them opening for Joe Walsh at Mohegan. The rest of the tour it was Bad Company. Got there late.

It is so Vegas that it’s almost too much Vegas for even Vegas.
It’s awesome and grotesque in equal measures.

Which is also a pretty accurate description of the Boneyard.
