I really need to go to Vegas to see that video sphere in person.

This think looks F-in incredible, and I really wish we'd see more of this kind of giant public sculptures/art in our infrastructure and buildings. In Asia these things seem more common, but North America is really far behind.
The casino service is pretty spotty now. I don't usually play table games anymore and I like to sit at the electronic horse racing game, Fortune Derby, which a couple hundred dollars. The table games might get better service but when I was playing there were a few times where a waitress wouldn't come around for over an hour despite all 8 seats being full.

I had one waitress during a session that was fantastic and would come around every 15 or 20 minutes and she even brought me Macallan when I asked for it. The next day with a different waitress I asked for Macallan as well and she said no.

The Sphere is definitely really cool and I think that shows in there will be incredible. I looked at U2 tickets for either opening night or the first couple weeks but the prices were higher than I wanted to spend considering I'm not a huge fan.

When we walked by near the Sphere last week it was either the spinning basketball or that boring green/purple default. But that video from the 4th of July was really cool, minus the eyeball.
