By far one of the most futuristic structures built to date. It looks beautiful!
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 😂
Imagine being high asf in the hotel and you just look outside and see the moon sitting on the street
That is incredibly beautiful.
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
This to me is one of the most beautiful things I've seen humans create. Utterly stunning!
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.

You cant tell me that we dont live in the future. This is insane!!! Imagine showing this to someone from the 1700s
we don't live in the future.

Imagine seeing a giant eyeball staring at you while you fly over Las Vegas at night.
*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.
This is one step closer to what we saw in "Blade Runner" tell me I wrong...awesome!!!
I fucking love Bladerunner
As a Local resident i really must say the timing for this project design was well worth the wait.
With our crazy weather and heat these men and women have done a beautiful job. Super proud this came to life.
🏜 DESERT LIFE 🏜
This is awesome. Every major city needs a Sphere just as long as they don't put commercial advertising on the Sphere.
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.
Incredible engineering feat, I bet it is stunning in person
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.
I think this is the most magical thing I've ever observed in real life. This is just insane
The most colorful city in America just got even more colorful with that sphere! Summer is the worst season to visit Vegas, though.
Worth going to Vegas just to see the sphere. That's incredible!
you get a true sense of scale with the passing cars...amazing!
This has to be the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while!!! Sucks I moved out of Vegas a month before it was completed!
Man Vegas really does have everything 😊😊
Breath taking stunning beauty peace of work
That is just beautiful! Thank you for taking the time to video that!
I love it 😍 it's like it always should have been there. Very calm, relaxing, meditative. God we all need that!!! I want a mini sphere in my home!
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

i am so excited to be able to see this every night when it opens! It's amazing, I wish every city would get one
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.
I want a mini sphere in my room that can do all that!
There should be a high quality live feed of this 24x7 with sounds like this. So soothing
I would love to see a scaled down version of this for my back yard
I remember driving by the frame when I lived in Henderson 2 years ago. Never would’ve imagined it would turn out like this. Amazing.
Seeing the Earth and the Moon is very impressive. I would love to see the Sun, Mars, and the rest of the planets in our galaxy.
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 video does not even come close to giving it the justice it deserves.
I watched it tonight from outside my balcony and got extremely emotional.
Sending love and peace to everyone
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 UA-cam!!!
Does it work already outside daily?
😂😂 This will become the spherical physical version of UA-cam. Just when you are enjoying watching your favorite light show, you will be interrupted by annoying commercials every few minutes. “You and can run, but you cannot hide.”
I could watch this endlessly. Beautiful!
And to think somebody could actually come up with an idea for something like this... And this big! This is just so amazing and I've never seen anything like.... Ever. So beautiful and I am impressed.
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’m watching this on the video and I almost want to cry. Just absolutely beautiful. I can only imagine how it looks in person.
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 ❤
That looks beautiful and magical. I especially love when it looks like the moon. Wish I could afford a trip to Vegas to see it.
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!
I wonder how many traffic accidents will be caused by this display
It's worth it 🥸
😂😂🤭🤭
We’ve already had 150.
@@chezchezchezchez Ohh $hit! 😳Really?
As someone that has seen this being built from the ground up... I truly can't believe how high the resolution is on the exosphere. The interior screen is the highest resolution ever. I thought they would skip a little on the exterior.. Inside, there's over 150 THOUSAND speakers, this structure is definitely over budget. 2.3 billion dollars. But I think they made the right move. I can't wait to watch a show. Movie. Or anything here! Congrats MSG!
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.
Wow stunning. Hats off to the designers and the engineers.
I feel proud that we finish this project and i work as main qc for this exterior and work hard for this moment.. and everyone gono shocked when they will see interior…finally we did it…
You should upload videos.
That was truly amazing!!!
Thank you abc for not speaking and just letting this play. Amazing.
That is so beautiful! I have to go see it soon!
And for drinking water, do you have a plan?
This is my favorite Light show in Vegas Now. I saw them testing the LED’s last week with green and purple swirl from a room in Trump tower. I hope they limit the amount of advertisements that pop up on this sphere because it’s amazing
Most beautiful thing I have ever seen!
One of those most amazing structures to have ever been built. The technology needed shows the true innovation that humans continue to expand. Incredible.
Very impressive . Must’ve been stunning in person
Im glad I got to see it in action before I leave vegas! it's beautiful! you can clearly see what's on the screen all the way across the valley.
The moon one is amazing ❤
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.
I gotta admit, that shot of the moon is practically transcendental. Imagine being on that tram while the image rotates. You'd feel as if you're orbiting the moon.
That’s impressive. And quite peaceful. Wow. Very nice.
Just beautiful should be going to vegas this month. Each time I go there’s always something new
Absolutely breathtaking! 💖
This is quite stunning and mesmerising isn't it?. Gorgeous light show and the way the colours and pictures blend into each other is pretty spectacular. I dread to think of the electricity bill for that sphere!. I guess somebody is running around topping up the meter with dimes and cents somewhere!.
I think this is one of the most beautiful things ever built by men.
This is stunning
Finally a reason for a 4th. visit to Vegas from the UK.
As an American, welcome back man! Hope you enjoy your time here and are always welcome back! ❤
Lol
Absolutely awesome. And to think it has the world's most advanced venue inside. Good job, humans 😊🇺🇸
I'm just shocked this is in las Vegas. It's absolutely incredible and mind boggling. I'd expect Dubai to do this as opposed to las Vegas.
@@abdulrahimjalgaonkar1073Las Vegas and Dubai are pretty close in terms of income level
@@Steven-uk2fz that's true, but it's Dubai that tends to lean on projects that are more extraordinary, regardless of they are profitable or not.
Hard to believe it, but Vegas created something genuinely beautiful.
This is the most beautiful glow in the dark LED sphere that I have ever seen I love it it is wonderful and stunning to watch at night
wow I love how the full moon looked! Beautiful!
Are we sure this isn't Skynet?
It's just a screen lol. But if I were Skynet I'd choose this as my central core
Breathtaking. Bravo! Well done!
I want to see the giant IT server facility and computers that run that monster.
WOW THATS BEAUTIFUL!! Thank You for taking the time and filming this and sharing this with us its beautiful!! 😊💓✌️
A true ‘marble’ of architectural design and engineering!
Wow! Love the earth & moon lookalike
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not a big fan of Vegas but this is very cool. I love the moon image!
oh man, that's HUGE. I wonder what software they're using the map the video to it
This is incredibly mesmerising. Hopefully it doesn't display any advertisement or push any agenda.
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
This is AMAZING. Many may think this is fake - a fraud...but I've seen it from a distance AND up close, and it's unbelievable. This is NOT just another billboard. Unfathomable..
That’s all just led lights? Damn man that’s amazingly beautiful.
Looks great, except for the impossible-to-miss dark horizontal line centered at 2:30. There are actually at least 3 such glitches. Hope they make adjustments...
I'm absolutely gobsmacked..speechless..i didn't even think this could be possible...wow..just wow❤
Gobsmacked??
@@nl5703 stunned, amazed, speechless etc.😁
Wow! We were in Vegas last week and drove by. It was black. I wondered what it was then. The next day I saw it from downtown and it was silver. I had no idea it was capable of this type of art and entertainment. Cool!
This is one of the most amazing things I've seen.
Went to Las Vegas last summer while it was being built. Makes me wanna go there again.
I remember drawing something just like this as a teenager after visiting Las Vegas with my family. I even named it "Sphere" Hotel/Resort. It's amazing to see that something from my childhood fantasy drawings of an imaginary Vegas neon spherical building actually really exists now in real life. I will definitely visit this on my next Vegas trip!
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
If that were a volumetric LED sphere ... It could be even more insane 💀
America really went next level with this. 🇺🇸
I might go to Vegas now. Would love to see this up close
Beautiful
I need that in my city!
Time to move to Vegas
No you don’t
They should turn this into a open air learning experience. Showing different wonders of the world etc.
incredible engineering masterpiece and magnificent.
I loved it!!!! Amazing ❤
Imagine flying into Vegas for the first time and see this.
That shot with the trees in the foreground reminds me of that movie "The day the earth stood still"
It's majestic and awe inspiring 🎉
This is incredible!
Breathtaking! ❤️❤️❤️
This thing is absolutely amazing, breathtaking
The giant moon looked the coolest.
Wow!🎉
How beautiful this thing is.
Holy moly it looks even better than i thought
May you live in interesting times.❤
That's awesome!
An incredible artistic acheivement
That MOON!!!
Hotel rooms facing this just doubled in value
Wonder if NV Energy will ask them this summer to turn off those lights or just ask the citizens to use less energy, like last year.
Well, that IS the ULTIMATE "Alternate Reality Road Trip".
I saw this when it was being built. It looks like it's worth every penny. Perfect for Vegas.
