LAS VEGAS, NV – Construction companies that have been working on the MSG Sphere in Las Vegas claim the company behind the futuristic entertainment venue – which is still under development – owes them millions of dollars in unpaid labor fees, according to a lawsuit filed with the Eighth Judicial District Court of Nevada.

I could attest to this, we have many finished products on this project, some of our contractors have not been paid in full, fortunately for us as the manufacture we get paid by the contractor regardless....shitty situation for them..

Can they make look like a giant boob? Cuz that would be fun. :p

Most likely it will become a giant advertising screen for most of the time...
Until pixels start going bad and then the black burnt out rectangles sections of screen start to appear Like in the hood……🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It is bad ass! The amount of accidents it may cause will be out of control.


Not my photo. Stole from an IG account.

I got to take a tour of the sphere yesterday. The place is absolutely insane. The theatre area has 250,000 speakers in it. The guy giving the tour said that the sound is so directional that they can project the audio of different languages to different sections inside the theatre at the same time. The theatre is also capable of putting smells into the air that go along with what is happening on the screen, it’s also capable of generating winds of up to 140mph. The screen is unreal, we were lucky enough to be there when they were testing it. The movement of the screen literally affects your balance. I would have liked to take a bunch of pics but they said that it was a no go. Seeing a show there is going to be wild.

Pink Floyd experience and a sizeable bag of stems and caps 🍄 would be a blast 😂
We were talking about just this very thing. I think it might be wise to go on a dry run before diving into the deep waters. I can 100% guarantee that people will vomit from the motion sickness. That said I do plan on doing exactly what you said at some point. 😵‍💫

Thought I read somewhere that sports were not part of this venue?
I figured the NBA basketballs might be a hint, but might just be advertising ? My wife did not like the eyeballs 😬

View from our room. Guy at front desk goes “you wanna upgrade to strip view?” And I’m like no, I want the sphere view room so here we are.

I was down there last weekend and drove right through that intersection under the monorail, this is probably a pretty sweet view at night.

About a mile away the view is pretty spectacular, to see the moon rising up between the buildings, once you get too close it's like getting too close to the television.

I would assume that the focus on the interior lights has been changed so it will be a clear picture for the shows.?
