Vegas Really Built a Cyberpunk Moon

[00:00:00]The tallest building on Earth was cheaper than this. Vegas spent $2.3 billion building Sphere, a giant glowing ball that's only 366 feet tall.

[00:00:07]Meanwhile, the Burj Khalifa is over 2,700 ft tall and still costs less. This thing is covered in 1.2 million LED lights, making it the biggest LED screen on the planet, and pilots can spot it from over 100 m away. But the inside is where it gets insane. There's a massive 16K screen wrapping around the entire arena, plus 160,000 speakers, so advanced people say it feels like sound is moving through their body. Even the seats vibrate during shows. And because the building is almost completely curved, engineers had to custom build nearly every single piece from scratch.

[00:00:35]So, humanity really spent more money than the world's tallest skyscraper just to build a giant sci-fi moon in the desert.
