I'm talking about the new Vegas Sphere. It's not the biggest or tallest building, but it sure is a spectacle for the eyes.
This video is not photo shopped or AI generated, it's from its July 4 debut.
Sphere | Hello World | A July 4th Event Like No Other
Here is another one showing some of the things it can do including a giant eyeball...lol.

Watching these videos, I do have to wonder and even worry about. With all these cars driving by, how in the world do they pay attention to their driving when this thing almost fills the sky. Let's face it, if you are anywhere close, you are going to want to look.
It's not just about the outside. Attending an event inside will be spectacular as well.
As you can see. It has a huge spherical screen as well.
Here are some of the features taken from its Wiki page...Sphere at The Venetian Resort
"Upon its completion, the Sphere will be 366 feet (112 m) high and 516 feet (157 m) wide at its broadest point. It will be the largest spherical building in the world at 875,000 sq ft (81,300 m2). It will include seating for 18,600 people, and all seats will have high speed internet access. Haptic technology is incorporated in 10,000 of the venue's seats. Seating does not wrap around the entire sphere, instead covering approximately two-thirds of the interior while the stage takes up the remainder. The venue can accommodate 20,000 people in standing capacity. The sphere has nine levels, including the basement, where a VIP club will be located. A total of 23 suites will be included, across the third and fifth floors.
The Sphere's interior will be equipped with a 16K resolution wraparound LED screen, measuring 160,000 sq ft (15,000 m2). 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 m2) of programmable lighting, which can feature holiday themes, with the Sphere depicting a Halloween jack-o'-lantern or a Christmas snow globe, for instance. 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.
The arena will primarily host awards shows and concerts, in addition to other entertainment events. Although it was not designed to host sporting events, there is the possibility of hosting matches for boxing and mixed martial arts, as well as esports tournaments."
When it mentioned "Haptic technology", I said, what the hell is that? So, I looked it up.
Haptic technology (also known as kinesthetic communication or 3D touch) is technology that can create an experience of touch by applying forces, vibrations, or motions to the user.
That, the huge screen, and a sound system with 164,000 speakers that will deliver sound through the floorboards. 4D features, including scent and wind, will also be used.
I've never been attracted to Vegas. I'm not a gambler....I don't like losing money for fun....lol, but this is the kind of thing that makes me want to go.
Edit: Since this is new and I keep finding new information. I found another video that may provide even more interesting facts about this venue that tech and engineering geeks like me might enjoy.
