A Sneak Peak Inside The Las Vegas Sphere And U2 Residency
It’s a huge weekend in Las Vegas. Time to go inside The Sphere.
U2 Takes Over the Sphere:
Living in Las Vegas, we have watched the Sphere being built brick by brick — or actually, LED light panel by LED light panel. Though we still don’t know that much about it or the inside.
This weekend will change all that, as U2 will kick off their very unique residency featuring one of their most popular albums “Achtung Baby.” According to Best Selling Albums — an online database used to archive album sales — “The Achtung Baby” album sold 18,000,000 copies.
One of the most popular bands will be playing in one of the most popular cities in the world.
If you’re going to the first U2 shows this weekend, it probably has set you back a few bucks. But on the other hand, you kind of paid to see history be made in a first-of-its kind structure.
Inside The Shows:
Jim Dolan is the owner of The Sphere. As we know, Dolan is CEO of Madison Square Garden. He also owns the New York Knicks and Rangers. He’s no stranger to making big deals and taking big chances.
CBS News did an in-depth and behind-the-scenes look at U2’s show, and inside of The Sphere. It’s truly mind-blowing.
U2 is not the only show at The Sphere. According to its website, Director Daron Aronofsky has put his heart and soul into a documentary called “Postcard From Earth.” Calling it part sci-fi and part nature; it will be almost like an immersive movie shown within the Sphere. What a great way to fuse art and science together to create something so spectacular that leaves us in awe. The video below shows you the incredible technology behind this venue.
The Sphere has definitely changed the skyline of Las Vegas and entertainment in Las Vegas. It is far from the days of the Rat Pack and Elvis. Although I’d love to see any one of those — along with The Beatles at The Convention Center — inside on the big ball. Or maybe, they’ll eventually be broadcasted across the sphere.
After Aura, the robot greeter, welcomes you, it’s an experience unlike any other. I personally can’t wait to attend a show there, and who knows what other spectacular events are yet to be announced!
