Sphere Las Vegas

Recommended Posts

This venue is going to be a bucket list destination for millions to watch their favorite band play--or any performance period.  The cutting-edge video and sound technology in the Sphere is one of a kind in the world. There's nothing else that can even compare in the world currently and its f*cking awesome. 

Vegas is going to need attractions like this with parking fees, $17 burgers and $38 resort fees souring tourists on Vegas. I really hope they get these short-term profit gouges under control before it comes back to bite them. Many semiannual visitors are becoming just annual visitors.

Vegas needs to work on being affordable again, and then we should be able to see a bigger boom on the strip

Economy is doing great and everyone's got money to burn. MGM and others are going to continue to f*ck over and nickel and dime tourists to death for as long as they can and hope when the economy eventually dips they'll win the plebs back over with mass-marketing mini-vac deals. 

If they have short memories, with no more resort/parking fees, sweetheart room rates, drink coupons, maybe a 2 for 1 at the steakhouse---people will be strutting around the strip feeling like VIPs again.

I hope it works.

Underemployment is not at pre-recession levels.

But gaming isn't the primary revenue driver anymore---especially with younger generations.  Revenue breakdown used to be 70% gaming and 30% entertainment/dining/shopping-----nowadays its more like 30% gaming and 70% everything else. 

Which is why I laugh when dweebs still make cracks about associating Vegas with buffets, cheesy lounge shows, etc--- its evolved so far past that.

If you build it, they will come.  Vegas is a field of dreams.  I love it.

"Madison Square Garden has embarked on a program to build Sphere venues in other cities. The company has committed to building one in London, but the venue in Las Vegas will be the first completed."

 

It will only be "one-of-a-kind" for a few years.
