Sphere lights up Las Vegas skyline with massive LED display | ABC News 

At least something different. Dubai is beating us

Have a look at Shanghai at night. Yes China! You will retract that statement. Why can't Americans see past their borders? If this cost 2.2 billion I wonder what it cost China to light all their buildings in all their major cities?

and it costs a whooping $2.3 billion

@@ElectricVehiclesAreGoodF-ti7xdthis is in Las vegas i think ?

⁠​⁠@@ElectricVehiclesAreGoodF-ti7xdeating us in what?😂 the Saudis have to spend trillions to try and attract foreigners meanwhile little old Las Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world and is growing every year and is proven by its revenue with over 60 billion dollars made in casino’s alone last year and another 9 billion in gaming, this sphere is also way more impressive of a technological feat than anything the Saudis have 😂

*In a world of "Distracted Drivers," I'm trying to figure out how people are supposed to drive by THAT without getting in a wreck?*

Damn eye of Sauron in Vegas. I could dig it

​@themirrorsofmymind I get distracted starring at it when it was all black. It was creepy. I can't wait to see it lit up! I missed it on the 4th.

A new canvas for artists to create for.

I can't imagine the expenses involved in this thing, but it's simply too beautiful to not have

@@anonymousstacker2044 I think it was like 2.5 billion

Hail the sphere!

It's incredibly pointless and it shows how easy humans are to mislead you ignore the cost of making it you ignore the cost to run it which can be used to help all the homeless people you ignore the fact that Vegas is built on people who have ruined their lives because of gambling drinking party you ignore all the cheating and evil that goes on in Vegas because of a ball with a bunch of LEDs y'all need Jesus Christ out because you are some seriously lost souls. What happens in Vegas is known by God this is why Jesus Christ said to repent

what?!

@@gionefe323 you heard me.

Soulless reptilian

It cost billions and went very far over budget. Expect tickets to music events to be $1k+ if not more. And only enormous pop culture artists will be invited. Such a shame. Yet another rich person's toy that the rest of us can see.

we don't live in the future.

​@@nexpro6985Life is lived in the present. Though memories take us back to the past, so do lessons learned from good and bad experiences. Wondering or worrying about what happens next is all about the future. For most of us, each day we are living in the past, present and future.

No one needs more light pollution

Commercial advertising is inevitable

Commercial advertising will definitely be projected on the Sphere. They have one for NBA Summer League and will most likely have one for F1 in November.

2.5 billion not so sure about every city. Taxes are high enough

Oh it WILL have ads. Bet on it. Its like $1bn over budget.

I fucking love Bladerunner

It is just as beautiful in person. I live here.

It sure is ❤

More like it’s going to be filled with ads.

Ancient Egyptians could never.

It's worth it 🥸

😂😂🤭🤭

We’ve already had 150.

@@chezchezchezchez Ohh $hit! 😳Really?

I thought the exact same thing. I want to put one in my yard.

for now lol that's just the beginning! it'll have crazy stuff soon enough to catch your attention

That’s just the music it’s blinding and distracting in person especially when you live next to it

Building a smaller version wouldn't be *that* hard, programming the visuals would take a ton of work

Living here myself and so glad I can see it whenever I want.

I wish every city could clean up the massive homeless and drug epidemics.

WHERE in Vegas is it?

@the Venetian

I heard the cost was $3.46 billion, but then again that was an Australian media site & their dollar is worth 67¢ so $3.46-bil is actually $2.3 bil USA dollars. So yeah. Trust me Seattle, LA, Chicago, or NYC wouldn’t be able to build this for $5-billion & it would take a decade before ground breaking even started. American Cities really could learn a lot from Las Vegas. Its the largest American city where the infrastructure isn’t crumbling & was built like a “peoples magnet”. An ADULT DISNEYLAND of sorts where children do have fun, but behave & act like adults, without all the crying, screaming, & snotty noses like Disneyland. Or the politics from people like that creep in floriduh, Sanchez using Disney to make a name for himself. Vegas has none of that. Its really quite unique as are their people.

heard its in 16k res

Honestly not sure how I feel about that amount of money being spent to build something...anything. This is spectacular, but that's a crazy amount of money.

Mars is there at 2:07

Jupiter would be stunning.

AMEN!! At least someone else is out there and awake!! The government is goiing to use an "alien" invasion as a coverup for when us believers are raptured. Biblical prophecy is coming into play because He tells us THY WILL BE DONE... And we dont question our Father's will! 🙌🙌

The idea: let's build a huge LED sphere. This guy: 🤯

Cocaine is one helluva drug.

​@@rackinfrackinvarmint😂😂😂

Literally a ball with leds

That is interesting. Foresight.

I live in Vegas and didn't even know that they were building it, lol. When you live here, unless you work on the strip, many locals don't go down there. It is quite beautiful. I may have to take a ride down at night to see it....

If you've never looked up airfare to Vegas... please do so. It's usually cheaper than most people realize. I understand if you may be from abroad. I'd like to see the world.

@@Mr.EeToMyself I live in the UK and am on very limited funds, sadly. It costs hundreds to fly to Vegas, I can't afford it these days. I have actually been to Vegas once, years ago, when I had some spare cash. I loved it there. Amazing city.

All you need to know is Fremont casino and hotel, stayed there a week 38 dollars a night.

If you live in california, they practically pay you to go there to lose your money!

Does it produce sounds to go with the show?

@@bluezaton I didn’t hear any sound coming from it at all. But I am sure it has the capability to do so, considering this is going to be a new concert venue when it opens to the public. I believe U2 is playing a series of shows for the grand opening this September

Sheep

Record it and post it on your RU-vid!!!

Does it work already outside daily?

they lit it up here as a preview for us on July 4...the giant Eyeball is SO mind blowing! What an impressive creative masterpiece. At first I thought.."great. more junk to clutter up the skyline." But nooo...this is something totally different ❤

You should upload videos.

That's amazing!!!!!! I was just going to comment that it's like this sphere should have always been there. Like something was missing in Vegas.

Are you serious did you really

@@upper339 💯

You should be visiting your lawyer someone took your idea

@@kround2009 nope

Watch the Moon tonight when it's at its peak... Watch the face

They should put two Spheres side by side then make them look like gigantic eyes.

As an American, welcome back man! Hope you enjoy your time here and are always welcome back! ❤

Lol

It's just a screen lol. But if I were Skynet I'd choose this as my central core

Gobsmacked??

@@nl5703 stunned, amazed, speechless etc.😁

My thoughts Exactly

It will definitely have advertising to help recoup some of the costs to build it. The ads will probably be unique such as the Sphere turning into a giant basketball last night to promote the NBA Summer League

Time to move to Vegas

No you don’t

Uhh dude, there’s real fireworks going on in the background during the Sphere fireworks show… sorry to burst your bubble.

Damn, so mesmerized by the sphere didn’t notice, thanks for the let down 😏

I really don't like people who want to suck the fun out of life just because a few critters might get scared.

@@AmandaFromWisconsin I respect your opinion and I hope you’re having tons of fun. 😃
