    Additional Sphere Tips: 1. On higher floors, there are ledges you can use as countertop to put your food and drinks down. You can stand and eat while looking down to the atrium. Or you can bring your food inside the theater to your assigned seats to eat, but it can be challenging to juggle the food and drinks while climbing the stairs. 2. Go for the daytime show if you want a potentially smaller crowd. Thanks for watching and enjoy your Sphere and Vegas experience! ⭐😊

    What a *wonderful, detailed, comprehensive, helpful review* this is!!! THANK YOU!
    I have had the Sphere Experience, and I agree totally with your review (and wish I had seen it before going)! I would add only two more observations: (1) When I was there, the lobby was much more crowded than it looked in this video. It would have been near-impossible to take in all its features in the brief time between gaining entrance to the lobby and the start of the show even if there were nobody else in the lobby. But with my (normal?) crowd, it was difficult to move between the Auras, and each one was surrounded by a deep group of guests. I felt lucky to have had even the shortest of conversations with one of her. (2) Yes, there are LOTS of counters serving food and/or beverages. And LOTS of people in the lines for them. But -- as far as I could tell -- there were NO spaces to sit and enjoy the expensive food you just purchased. My friend had to set his chicken wings basket (or whatever it was) on top of a garbage container and stand there to eat it. That soured me on the Experience. [BTW, we had primo 306 seats. I didn't smell anything during the film. And there was only one scene during which our seats did anything "interactive."]
    Overall, again, I agree: I'd recommend doing this once, just because it's The Sphere and it's unique. But go with moderate expectations.

    • @KeepingUpWithVegas
      @KeepingUpWithVegas  Місяць тому +3

      Thanks so much for the kind words!😊❤️ 1). I went for the day time show so it's probably less crowded and I think that works out well. I can imagine how frustrating it can be when you want to get a taste of interacting with the robots. And I totally felt rushed through the interactive experience, they should give more time. 2). The no seating for eating is a real problem, but I should have mentioned in the video (I had it but cut that scene as the video got a bit long) that on the higher floors, there are ledges you can use as a countertop to stand and eat your food while looking down to the atrium. Some people also brought the food inside the theater and eat at their assigned seats. But honestly climbing those stairs with food and drinks in your hands are like circus style balancing act lol which I would not recommend. Should have kept that commentary in the video ;) Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!

    I wish this great video was available when I went in October to see Postcard. I had lots of trouble dealing with the vertigo sensations and missed much of the film as I was filtering it through my fingers or looking down most of the time. Everything you said is true. Yeah, people don't know about the interactive items in the lobby areas because they don't do enough to make them obvious. Overall, despite my personal obstacles, I too would say it's worth going for the unique experience - but only if you do not have a fear of heights or vertigo. Those steeply raked seats should have seat belts and something to hold onto. Every one is perched like it's on the edge of a cliff. Truly scary!

    • @KeepingUpWithVegas
      @KeepingUpWithVegas  2 місяці тому +1

      Sorry to hear you had to deal with the vertigo sensations at the show, it'd be nice if everyone is aware of the potential issues before they decide to go or not, but this is really not common knowledge, at least I didn't know until I read about it. I am glad you got to see the show despite the challenges tho, coz it's really a special experience. This is currently the one and only dome structure in the world with these top notch technologies, not sure if there will be another as it costs 2.3 billion to build. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience :)

    I was there in October and saw U2 and went the first day of the showing of Postcards from earth. It was worth every penny. U2 graphics on the screen are amazing. There is a part that you feel and see that you are outside. It is absolutely amazing. U2 filmed 3 of the shows which are going to be made into a concert film which is going to be shown in the future at the Sphere.

    I saw U2 at the Sphere and was 3 rows from the top of Section 405. The layout was someone confusing and I thought we were on 400 level (couldn't find escalator up) but were on 300 level and had to climb up. When I finally climbed Everest and sat down my heart was pounding and I had to walk out to collect myself. I came back in and sat for most of U2 and was fine, but I was glad to have an aisle seat. Women in high heels trying to balance their way down so crazy!

This video has some good advice on how to see this show. I do plan on doing this again. The bag policy, seems to have been more lenient that we found. They do check into your bag however. We were here in early Jan 2024. I hope you get to go, it was awesome!!

      I was thinking that. Haven’t been to the Sphere but I live in Toronto and there’s the Cinesphere. It’s the first permanent IMAX theatre that was built in 1971. The screen is humongous and they use 70mm film. My cousin mentioned once that her dad can’t watch an IMAX movie because he gets motion sickness.
      Considering all the things to see prior to the show starting and getting through security, they should open the doors earlier.

    I forgot about this but something to consider if planning a visit to The Sphere. Many years ago I attended the IMAX at the Hearst Castle visitor center with an elderly friend who had a fear of heights which I knew but didn't realize it was so bad that just a movie would trigger it. He freaked out just from a standard IMAX that is a simple movie about building the castle, no extreme graphics, light show or soundscapes so I could just imagine what would have happened with something like this. I know my mom had problems too. Back in the day at Disneyland they had a 360* screen theater and even with the leaning rails she was struggling to stand and almost threw up. You can just close your eyes but she made us all leave the show. I was able to get my friend through the Hearst castle movie by pulling his ball cap down over his eyes and holding onto his arm so he felt grounded. But I can see people with issues having a "Plato at the planetarium" moment, at the Sphere lol.

    This is the best video on youtube for how to best enjoy the Sphere. Thank you. Questions: 1. In the event that you can't get to all of the robots, etc., can you return to the lobby after the show, or do they funnel you directly out of the Sphere? 2. Where outside of the sphere is the best place to view the sphere?

    • @KeepingUpWithVegas
      @KeepingUpWithVegas  3 місяці тому +3

      Thanks so much! :) 1. When the movie was over, everyone was rushing out to leave and the atrium was very crowded and no one was stopping to look at the robots. I'd say you probably shouldn't plan on returning to the robots as they need to prepare for the next show people to come in. 2. Check out the Bonus tip 12:10 (video chapters in description) to see where you can see the outside Sphere show.

    Great advice about getting there. We went to the Sphere Experience 3 days ago and took a Lyft to the Sphere, and that was a mistake. We should have just gone to the Venetian. Mind you, the price of the ride would have been the same but the traffic was horrible. There are set time windows for these shows and the traffic surges every couple of hours. You will cut a big amount of time off your ride there if you go the Venetian. Thankfully our Lyft driver had a very nice Lexus GX and that made it a bit more enjoyable. Our tickets were around $60 each and I bought these a couple months in advance. Great show and unlike anything I have ever experienced.

      How did you get tickets for $60? I can find any for less than $90 and that is before ticket fees. Just don’t think I want to drop nearly $300 for what appears to be an IMAX movie.

    • @martinmcintyre7623
      @martinmcintyre7623 2 місяці тому

      Well, I think there might be some surge pricing during certain times of the year. I bought my tickets about 2 months in advance during a time period right after the Grand Prix race. But I will tell you this is nothing like an IMAX experience. I have seen IMAX movies, one being Avatar in 3D at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle. Also a couple of 3D theatre movies elsewhere. This venue is so huge that my wife got anxiety and had to step out of the auditorium (she has fear of heights). This is huge and immersive and, with the exception of the seating area, is total screen in all directions. This with a state of the art sound system that you will only truly understand by attending the first half of your two hour visit on the ground level. AI Robots give you a presentation of the sound system that can point sound directly to you from a long distance. They also can change temperatures and pipe in wind and scents. And there are haptics that will rumble your butt. Yes it is expensive but you will get a mind blowing experience far beyond any IMAX movie. Please trust me, you will not be disappointed. @@patriciap9307

    • @KeepingUpWithVegas
      @KeepingUpWithVegas  Місяць тому

      Yes you can park at the Wynn and walk over. Both Palazzo lobby and Venetian lobby to the bridgeway will be about the same distance. If you want to look closer, can search on Google map and see the distance from each lobby to "Venetian Bridge to Sphere". Sphere is a non smoking venue, from Venetian lobby to the Sphere is about 10min walk indoor. Hope this helps!

    Agreed, Postcards is kind of a tech demo in my opinion... but I still left like I was happy to be alive to see such a big advance in technology in person - as dramatic as it sounds ;-)
    On the face of it the tickets felt expensive, I only bought them as I was seeing u2 the night before, but the spectacle isn't the movie - it's the experience of seeing the Sphere, the awesome staff, the inside with the sound/visuals/architecture, the food was good etc, so the movie was the frosting on all of that.
    If you can stomach the cost, do it in a heartbeat.

    Just saw it a few weeks ago. Impressive structure. Saw Post Card from Earth…not impressed. 45 minutes of depressive video….showing how man is destroying earth..and the only remedy is to leave and go to another planet. …when it was over….about 20 people applauded….every one else just got up and walked out. It felt like we just had a 45 lecture! Also, with a case of reverse discrimination, no Caucasians represented….Odd.
    I might go again to see a concert….

      So true, I was so close to just walking out and finding a $20 IMAX movie with a theme that didn’t try to make you commit suicide. I thought it was a weird choice for a $3 billion light ball which consumes tons of energy to lecture us on how man has built too much stuff on the planet! Anti-religion and anti Caucasian 100%. Actually anti human! But it is MSG and all the hypocrisy that goes with NY.

      The do have a team of wheelchair assistance personnel and at the U2 concert they were stationed at the actual entry to the Sphere where it connected from the Venetian tunnel (which is already a really long way in). They offered it to me as I had stopped there in the entry to rest my knee on the way in, so I don't know if one must reserve in advance normally. I took advantage of this service due to my knee problem and it was a lifesaver. There are ADA elevators in the venue that are easier to use than the escalators, as well. I was not seated in a wheelchair section, btw. The people were extremely nice and the guy was waiting for us to pick me up right after the show; he escorted us out to where I originally picked up the service. I tipped him $10.00 each way, and it was well worth it because it helped me sooooo much. It is a REALLY long trek from Venetian to Sphere and though they have a people-moving sidewalk in part of the entry, they do not turn it on during the entry to the concert (only during the exit) so it only seems to go one way! It is really a challenge for people with mobility issues, but well worth it if one can make a plan to take advantage of these services. If one enters the Sphere directly from the street it is really a long way in on Sands Avenue with crowded sidewalks and major traffic, as well. Vegas is really NOT designed for those with mobility issues in mind and that is one of it's biggest limitations, unfortunately.

The movie experience was great as far as the visuals and sound goes how ever not for the $160 we paid per person.Just get the least expensive tickets you can find and you will enjoy the sphere better then we did.Be prepared to come out of the show feeling like your grandma just scolded you for not recycling and taking better care of the earth.

The show was amazing for the first 25 minutes kinda like soaring at Disney but on steroids. Then the preaching starts about halfway thru on how we are killing the planet, keep in mind this is being shown at a venue that literally cost 2.5 billion dollars that used who knows how much oil, gas, electricity to construct.
