The giant LED sphere in Las Vegas is goddamn cool

Have you seen the Las Vegas Sphere? Part of the Venetian resort, it's the world's largest spherical building and the world's largest and highest resolution LED screen. At night it comes alive with images displayed on the screen that seriously look like someone's photoshopped them into an otherwise bland Las Vegas skyscape. It can display the moon, a basketball, a USA flag & fireworks theme for Independence Day, an eyeball, or anything a creative person can think of! Some of its first events will be a Darren Arronofsky movie in August and a series of U2 concerts starting late September that'll happen inside its 18,000 seat auditorium. Each seat has haptic technology built in, with the interior containing a 16K wraparound LED and 164,000 speakers. The Sphere cost US$2.3b to build and they're make another one in London. I want to visit this monstrosity!
