in Clubbing, Vegas
The first time I went to the Sphere, got to see the default letters from earth, and it was ok, but not super exciting, on top of being short. I was worried when they were selling tickets far in the future with no information of what the show would be, how long it would be, and honestly any information whatsoever.
In the end, turns out the actual show was 2H and had a bonus random 1H DJ show at the end, although it wasn't cool that you got no pick on what the DJ would be as that was unannounced until just a few weeks or days before each show happened. That part, was honestly not excellent.
On that topic, the DJ set we got at the end was underwhelming, but the fact that it was house music, probably had something to do with it :) But let's go back to the show, the sphere itself is of course cool, no matter what, even if it's not the first time:sphere entrance security was thorough but they only seemed to care about metal/weapons, which was cool
sound was not too loud during the show, but earplugs were recommended during the DJ sets
the DJ sets were not a bad addition, but not knowing who was playing when, was sad. I missed Haliene who played the day after I came :-
when used properly the sphere is a super impressive, both insomniac and tomorrowland provided video bits, they were both very good, insomniac provided more and I preferred those
this show did use it properly, both for its 1h45 main show/movie
and the 1h of DJs afterwards who got the best visuals you can get anywhere in the world :)
the drink prices inside was absolute murder, $80 for 2 drinks, including literally changing my tip from $5 to $10 behind my back, was absolutely unacceptable and plain theft. Come on Vegas, if you are trying to rob and scam your customers almost everywhere, how long do you think they'll come back?

the doors opened at 22:00 for 23:15 show
props to the live orchestra that played for some amount of tracks
plus live performers, but they were super small from the best position to see the screens
bus yes, they were small
the visuals themselves were a great trip in memory lane, very well done
insomniac won over tomorrowland in their visuals even if both were great
even if those were the best visuals any DJ has ever had
