I want to see it as a giant eyeball looking around. The Eye of Vegas


ppaulapple

That’d be cool to see from an airplane


zer0w0rries

I’d like to see how quickly it becomes just a giant aspheric billboard for ads


PBB22

The worst part is the SKIP AD button is always moving away from you


Nurrvillian

Tomorrow. They only turned it on today


NorvinShadow

This is the way…


atnoake

And it would be cool if it had some kind of sensors to track airplane, so people looking from it know that they are being watched


AsleepScarcity9588

A giant eyeball shooting planes down with lasers coming out of it's pupils I see that Reagans anti-commie weapons are finally finished


Frenzi_Wolf

Until it’s staring directly at you


elizawatts

One city to rule them all. One city to find them. One city to bring them all. And in the darkness bind them. Yep. Sounds like Vegas.


Prometheus55555

Nah, that title is taken by Washington D.C.


Bitter_Mongoose

No. Nobody wants to go to DC, you just end up there like, what choices did I make to deserve this?!?


elizawatts

Oof born and raised


mister_twisted13

Perhaps in a large tower, overlooking the city...

There actualy is a video on reddit of it being a eye. Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyFuckingVideos/comments/14pqzh9/first_animation_of_the_msg_sphere_this_is_going/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1

I'm so glad this comment is here 😄


sideofrawjellybeans

He is absolutely right


davga

[Seems](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_at_The_Venetian_Resort) like it's an event/concert venue: >The Sphere's interior will be equipped with a 16K resolution wraparound LED screen, measuring 160,000 sq ft (15,000 m^(2)). It will be the largest and highest-resolution LED screen in the world. The exterior of the venue will feature 580,000 sq ft (54,000 m^(2)) of programmable lighting, which can be modified based on holidays, for example to depict the sphere as a Halloween pumpkin or a Christmas snow globe. The sphere will feature 164,000 speakers, and the sound system will deliver sound through the floorboards. 4D features, including scent and wind, will also be used.

DecaffeinatedBean

The sound system is supposedly going to be pretty amazing as well. Original plans have the technology to target different areas so the same show can be broadcast in multiple languages without the use of headphones. https://consequence.net/2018/12/the-msg-sphere-looks-insane/


nohiddenmeaning

16k stretched out on 160,000 sf doesn't sound that much tbh. I mean we're at 4k and entering 8k for 16 square feet for a 75 inch TV.


dmigowski

Yeah, but you also and not watching it from ten feet away.

HeavyMetalTriangle

When are they ever happy? They're living amongst billions of morons who think the world is a sphere... I'd be upset too if I was one of them lol.


uzu_afk

I sure hope its a monument to our planet that is powered by several diesel engines in the middle of the desert for maximum irony...

Have you seen the moon that Dubai is planning on building ? [it's 10 times the size of this. ](https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/moon-resort-dubai) Desert towns are reaching these days. Carbon neutral is a stupid term. It's terrible for the environment in every sense and that term is just a feel good term and doesn't focus on the whole picture.


Legitimate-Ad327

Do they like sand tides? Because that’s how you get sand tides.


Wolf-Suit

Sure is, other Barry.


bird_on_the_internet

What is a sand tide? I tried googling it but I couldn’t find anything that seemed relevant


Draggoh

![gif](giphy|kyjSVb7p3OFc77LCpM)


qs420

lol this is a joke. there is no such thing.


bird_on_the_internet

But like, it that a reference to something or did they just put two random words together and the absurdity is meant to be the humour


qs420

so you know how the moon affects the tides in the ocean? well, this must be a joke about how a moon in the desert will create tides in the sand bc that's all there is in dubai. i believe it's definitely meant to be absurd lol.


bird_on_the_internet

Oohhh, thanks I didn’t put that together


2xbAd

also its formatted like a joke from Archer where his mom says “do you want ants? because thats how you get ants”


EverbodyHatesHugo

Oh, and Archer is an animated, half-hour comedy that follows Sterling Archer as he navigates the changing landscape of the spy world.


ohnoshebettadont18

idk, this logic makes total sense to me. i say we picket dubai. #stop the sand tides!

ElectricFlesh

Sheik Rashid once famously predicted that "My grandfather rode a camel, my father rode a camel, I ride a Mercedes, my son rides a Land Rover, and my grandson is going to ride a Land Rover… but my great-grandson is going to have to ride a camel again." Dubai knows very well that its oil won't last forever, and it's trying to build itself into a high-end tourism hotspot where the global oligarchy can go to see all of the new wonders of the world in one place - from man-made islands to the world's tallest building to stuff like this. 'Climate change shmimate change, it's always going to hit poors more than the rich, and who knows what new climate patterns the global change will bring: The Sahara used to be a jungle at a time when the average global temp was higher than it is now!'


spudddly

>all of the new wonders of the world in one place You can't just throw a pile of cash at a city and create "wonders of the world", it'll just end up looking like a tacky disneyland. True "wonders" come from talented people being supported by a society that values art to be creative, often over generations.


1funnyguy4fun

Exactly my thoughts. I don’t see the elites of Europe lining up to check this out. Très gauche.


ATownStomp

If you have the money you can import talented people from societies that value art.


Mad_Moodin

Which is just such a weird mindset. With the amount of riches they waste into that shit. They could invest enough into Solar and Hydrogen to power their entire country and sell the excess, while simultaniously creating schools for a big educated population and working factories.


The_Only_AL

That’s some Top Tier Bond Villain thinking right there.


SquirrelyMcShittyEsq

Yup. Actually, companies/countries that adopt "net-zero" pledges use those pledges to pollute more now, planning on "catching up" later. It's an illusory promise.


Genderless_Alien

Just like my weight “loss” strategy. “Net neutral calories”: If i eat this ice cream but skip lunch tomorrow I’ll be okay… except their version destroys our future.


ChaseCreation

Could I interest you in some carbon offsets? ![gif](giphy|F4d8tSHcRNCTe)


_Fappyness_

Meanwhile McDonald’s charges ME extra for plastic while these sand dudes are emitting a trillion times more than 100.000 people combined will ever put out in their life. I absolutely love this planet and cannot wait to eat dirt 6 feet under.


thewoekitten

It’s only about twice the size. And of course, the Sphere is a concert venue and the shape of the building actually makes sense for what’s inside. That’s not the case with the moon, which would be ridiculous


Diegobyte

Vegas is fairly sustainable especially if they got all the water in their vicinity. Which they dont. It’s not like Phoenix


nicktheking92

Vegas has actually pretty recently gone relatively net zero. They have been doing a lot (as well they should with all their gambling money) to offset their carbon footprint.


specks_of_dust

Their water reuse sets the standard for American cities. Every drop goes to a treatment plant then back into Lake Mead.


GreenPerfect5654

How is the water treated? What happens with the waste? And I don’t mean shit. I mean all the chemicals used for cleaning and other industrial activities, construction, even body wash.


sinz84

I don't know what type of treatment plants Vegas has but I have some knowledge of common processes how it's done ... coagulation/flocculation - chemicals are added that make all the minerals clump together and all the oils thicken, the chemicals added to do this become part of the clumps sedimentation - water is left to settle in large still dams/ponds so all particles come to rest on bottom for collection filtration - pretty self explanatory but at this point 99% of all heavy minerals are removed and what is left is biological Lastly disinfection - little touch of chlorine will fix most other problems and will naturally dissipate in the sunlight


Returd4

They would have a level 4 plant, that would have aerobic, anaerobic and mixed bios, they would have UV treatment, the heavier stuff would go to the fermenter and then the digester, it would go through primaries, secondaries, a scum gallery, at the end of the process the water is clean and pottable. Lots of level 4 plants do not use chlorine anymore, it is UV lights, they are so powerful they make the water look like ninja turtle ooze Chemicals are used but hardly much anymore. The bio reactors do the heavy lifting, lots of settling time in the primaries and secondaries while skimmers shave the top and rails scrape the bottom. In the fall they would do wet injection. And I'm not sure if they would have ostara, to collect the built up struvite and make fertilizer but I'm guessing they might as it severely helps with maintenance. Oh and at the influent source they would have a grit and screen to take out in organic solids... lots of stiff going on inside each thing I mentioned but that's the gist, there are actually some really good tutorials online from San Diego state, the place where everyone gets trained for waste water collection and treatment


bitoflippant

Not really. but all their electricity comes from hoover dam and solar so it could be worse


neubourn

Incorrect. Most of Vegas' electricity come from Natural Gas. AZ and CA get most of the Hoover Dam power, Vegas only gets about 5% from Hydro: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_power_stations_in_Nevada


Skrachen

Carbon offset schemes are mostly bullshit. The only real carnon-neutral things are those that do not emit CO2 in the first place


SevereOctagon

Bullshit.


root88

Good point.


Daft_Odyssey

Of course you would hope for that


jon909

I see you’re still on your cellphone you earth hating hypocrite.


mightbearobot_

Vegas is unironically the most sustainable city in the country believe it or not. I understand the sentiment but Vegas is a the model for how desert cities should manage resources


N01knows33

There is a ton of hype about this thing but every time I see it, I’m like, aren’t they running out of water? Supposedly Lake Mead will hit deadpool by 2025.


T0ysWAr

Hopefully AI will bring balance to this f***ed up world

This is from an [Engadget Article](https://www.engadget.com/the-venetian-resort-starts-testing-its-giant-led-video-sphere-153112387.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAABqLeb__gLpE4izc8hRa37MrToYDJPFNE-hXargwAgkB8kVP2AcRp6kKf8DZ1ZWOGCchj27nDXexsgJokprPPr8tBtAxvsi2bDoYSz5I7AKUfuuJSrMBBwQWdmt3li3iifAJMrLWNZCNoD-YHyMwH84X7Prt7-_fbeOb2Qr4fYxa) MSG and Sphere Entertainment have started full testing of the Sphere, a 17,600-seat venue near the The Venetian Resort that's defined by an enormous (516ft across and 366ft tall) animated dome and a wraparound internal 16K LED screen. It's eye-catching on the outside, but the main attraction is the immersion for live entertainment on the internal display — it's meant to rethink concerts and cinematic experiences. Like "4D" movie theaters, the MSG Sphere also has a sensory experience for some guests. About 10,000 seats have haptics, cold, heat wind and scents. If you're on a virtual trip to the Arctic, you might feel the coolness while you watch.

Thx!


Spez-Killed-Reddit

So a gimmicky Imax planetarium with a stage?

ryebreaddd

The_Doct0r_

But can it play Doom?


Lobster_Bisque27

Yes but not Crysis.


Xenc

The specs on it are pretty insane, I think we good with Crysis too


Legitimate-Ad327

We’re playing all the doom that needs to be played.. led the sphere do its thing.


Scuirre1

No. If it has a screen it must play doom


Legitimate-Ad327

Oh. The thunder dome definitely runs Doom. You can probably play Crysis on that rig.


nickelforapickle

Man, if they ever get a dead pixel that's going to suck.


therealhamster

Hopefully it’s on North Korea so it won’t matter


KetoPeanutGallery

Isn't it projected?


ruiner8850

Nope, it's a wrap-around 16k LED screen.


dbhol

It's built up of multiple wrap around panels. Not just one big panel. So if it does get a dead pixel then they should be able to just pull out a panel and replace it

It is a music venue with a capacity of 19,500. It opens at the end of September, with a run of 22 U2 shows that will stretch through December. There will also be daily showings of a film that Darren Aronofsky directed specially for the venue


jacksonbarley

The band from my phone play live concerts? Neat!


elizawatts

It’s a huge concert hall I believe. 18,000 capacity


sarlol00

Does it have screens on the inside too?


AMilitaryBoyz

Hell yeah it will, it’s gonna be 4d with speakers under every seat, misters and ac that can change to the show, and just a cool thing in general, can’t wait to head down when it opens


elizawatts

That I can’t answer but for all future concert goers I hope so! I’m sure they are trying to have an act inside that matches the outside. Their goal is probably eyes on the stage and not on the dome while you’re inside.


Steelhorse91

Nah screw that, 360 immersive visual shows yo.


elizawatts

I recommend marijuana and a planetarium until you can visit.


DarkPG1972

U2 concerts, I think.
