When i was in Vegas last year, this was a giant black sphere under construction. I thought they were building a modern concert/convention center, black in color. Did not think for one moment that they will just cover it up leds and make its exterior a screen! Crazy stuff!!

In vegas now and saw it driving by at night…..it is the most futuristic, brightest and biggest view to see. Your eyes get glued with amazement. It doesn’t look real

[Alan-in-Bama]

This is the coolest idea in entertainment for several decades !

[bolsbolbol]

Its amazing. If you go to vegas make sure you can see it from your room

When its blue it looks like the blitzball stadium from Final Fantasy X

This thing is absolutely mind blowing! The technology and engineering needed to build this thing must’ve been unimaginably complex and sophisticated.

I am in COMPLETE awe of this thing, can't hardly wait to experience this! 🧚🏾‍♀

I grew up with access to an IMAX dome theater and I LITERALLY can't wait to get a chance to see this place!!!

[kiddthomas]

this is definitely one of the best things ive ever seen!! im going to an event inside one day for sure

[jameybobamey]

My guy literally compared it to a peanut butter and jelly sandwich

[steeleaquain]

Only bad thing about this is its location, it should be on the strip, not behind a casino. Cant even see it from the strip.

[RodrigoSilva-buwy]

imagine having a metalcore concert here, just wow

[Jimirulz]

It looks absolutely incredible, I can't wait to go there!!

[JustWorkingPayVegas]

If our civilisation falls and humanity essentially resets, stories about our achievements will probably live on, and imagine how that sphere would be a massive orb that could artificially visualise anything they wanted to visualise, inside this orb was a theatre with walls that could artificially extend the room visually, or show crazy psychedelic light displays, or the landscape of a completely different country, or the far reaches of space. If all of that wasn't mind-boggling enough, this orb could host nearly 20, 000 visitors who'd go to this place to be entertained.

We take all these modern inventions for granted, but these achievements are vastly beyond the imaginations of our predecessors. Much like how we marvel at the architectural achievements of the ancient world and try to fathom the things we have lost to time, there is a possibility that we will be regarded similarly, if the events of the modern world lead to catastrophe.

A lightbulb just went off on the top of Dubais mind
