- I mean it. It was almost scary, It was so good.
What's it like attending a concert at
the $2.3 billion sphere in Las Vegas?
Behind me is the sphere and tonight.
I'm going to show you my experience from opening night
and show you what's inside the beautiful sphere.
Okay. That is super trippy. once you get close to it.
I recommend parking at the Venetian
or the wind and then walking, unless of course you're a VIP,
and then you can enter through a private street
and through a private entrance into the sphere.
I can't even describe what it looks like
with all these pixels everywhere.
All these lights, everything moving around.
Oh, look at it opening up.
We are getting closer to the sphere.
This is what it looks like up close.
Look at all these lights. What is that?
That's what the lights look like,
and then you can actually see through the building,
so part of the mesh that's around it,
and then it's just those lights right there.
Once you enter the actual building,
it legitimately feels like you stepped into a space portal.
LED lights, high ceilings,
escalators going to the upper floors.
My seats were in the 400 level.
I decided to sit up in the 400,
the top plus center in the top.
This feels like the future.
I feel like I'm in a Star Wars
or a Star Trek movie right now,
and I just entered the base
where everything gets transferred.
It is unbelievable in here,
and I'm not even in the hall yet.
This is just, I'm getting chills right now. It is.
Check this out. This building is a giant ball.
It's like an engineering marvel of the world.
On the very edge of this, there's these cables coming down,
which looks really cool with the lights,
but they also look like they're structural.
Around the edges is where the structure goes,
and on the very top they have this very heavy like crown
circle thing that they put in place,
and that's like the most crucial thing
to hold the whole thing together.
As I say that, I'm getting a little concerned
walking in here.
This is the first time it's ever had the weight
of human beings of 18,000 people inside of this,
so hopefully it can hold up.
This is it. We're about to walk in.
Remember, we're on the highest level on 4 0 6,
row four seat nine.
We're going in, let's see this place.
Once you enter the concert hall, you see the massive
LED screen and the very steep seating
that goes all the way from the general admission
to level four.
Level four is actually the first row of this section
nine and ten.
I am front and center of the top row.
You gotta take a look at this.
The opener started at eight.
It was a DJ writing in a neon car.
The music was fine, but everybody was waiting
for the concert to start to see
what changes could happen on this massive display.
Right now, it just feels like a building that we're in.
They're running a little bit late,
but hopefully they get started soon.
I'm ready for this. Already, A plus experience.
If you're coming into Vegas
and you have a chance to see this,
I'm already saying you gotta come.
I feel like it's finally it. I think it's coming.
I'm ready for the wall to do something.
Once the concert starts, I realize
that the nosebleeds are actually the
best seats in the house.
The interior sphere screen is 160,000 square feet
with a 16,000 by 16,000 resolution.
It's the highest resolution LED screen on earth.
Let's see it. What's it gonna look like?
While level 400 was really high,
it gave me the perfect perspective
to see all of the screen and the performers down below.
The walls are cracking.
Okay, are you seeing this?
What is happening right now?
The audio sounds perfect from the 160,000 speakers
that are set up behind the four acre screen.
Upbeat music
It doesn't even matter what seat you were in
It sounds incredible.
- Look at that, that's amazing! Look at that.
- Wow, what is it? Look at that.
What the heck.
There they are down there, and then what is happening?
Unreal guys.
I decided to walk around and look at every single
level inside of the place.
Oh wow. You just walk around the corner
Instantly soundproofed.
I'm like right next to the rock concert.
I have to tell you, I saw a lot of the hype
about the speaker, the 160,000 speakers.
They claim that it's like you're wearing headphones,
that there's no bad seat in the house.
In fact, they say, say a president is down there
giving a talk and they wanna translate it
into 12 different languages.
They can shoot those languages
to specific seats in the crowd.
Wherever you're sitting, you could listen to French
and then the person, a couple over from you,
could be listening to English.
That is the capabilities that they claim is here.
It is so loud in there. The music, you can feel it.
There's wind that blows on you.
It's very immersive, and then you take a few steps out
and it's like there's not even a concert going on,
so very blown away.
Unreal. I think we need to check out the concessions,
see what they've got. Now it's not as crowded anymore.
This place is called Element Cafe,
and it looks like they have some pizza, some french fries.
Let's give it a shot. How's the pizza?
Look at, that's barbecue. Yum
- All right everybody
- Thank you.
Pepperoni pizza. Thanks a lot.
All right. this is the Sphere Express drinks,
lots of alcoholic drinks here,
and then also some bottled water.
Set my pizza down.
Doing the do and then check this out. It's super high tech.
Gonna put my thing down there
and then it knows 20 ounce Mountain Dew.
- It's good. - That's it. Okay.
I thought the concessions were really good inside
of this building, the pizza was awesome.
That's good for a concession stand pizza.
Really, really good. The view from the 300 level
on the 400 level looked incredible.
200 level was good,
but it might've been a little bit too close.
If you want to see the artist
with your own eyeballs up close,
then 100 level is the way to go.
Although in my opinion, it's not as good of seats
because it's an obstructed view
and you can't even take advantage
of the beautiful display on the screen.
U2 is one of the best bands of all time,
and the performance they had last night was decent.
It almost doesn't even matter who's performing
because the visuals on the screen
just take your experience to a whole different level.
This is the most incredible visual
and audio performance I've ever witnessed.
It really looks like the helicopters
are coming at us right now.
It is like better than most movies.
What (laughing) What the heck!
Upbeat music
What the heck! What is happening?
That might be the end.
That was a great ending. The song was great,
and then the visuals were just next level.
Just, I mean, come on. They're still going. Look at those.
- Got pictures, great and small
with this in these temperatures.
- They're so far down there,
but they look like they're, I could see them so well.
I'm excited to see what happens during CES in January when
all the tech companies are here, the best in the world.
They're gonna create some crazy stuff in here.
Maybe the coolest venue in the world. Fantastic job
Las Vegas. I hope you can keep this thing filled.
I think U2 is playing here for 25 nights,
and this is the very first of it, so it'll be interesting.
It's like, I don't want to leave.
It's just so cool, but I guess you have
to leave at some point.
It's so bright and happy and like heaven in there.
My least favorite thing about the entire event was
definitely the long lines getting out of the building.
There aren't enough escalators
to let everybody get down the escalator,
so we took the emergency stairs and that was packed.
Let's go take a look inside and see what's going on.
30 minutes after. Look at that. All right.
This is the 100 level.
This is what it looks like once it all clears out,
and we didn't really get a good look at the bottom level.
The general admission is the one area I couldn't get to.
I'll show you what it looks like after the fact.
It's where everybody just stands for the entire show,
but you're right there next to the stage.
It still looks incredible
- Hey sir, we're exiting the building.
- Okay I'll exit.
- We gotta get ready for tomorrow
- Sounds good.
Yeah, go for it. Lots and lots of drinks.
They had a good time. That's what's inside
of the Las Vegas sphere.
Definitely recommend that you guys come here. Check it out.
I hope you enjoy this. It was one
of the coolest things I've ever been to, honestly.
Well, it's a lot of stairs. I probably should have not
walked up the stairs here.
