I thought it was the opening of Akira.

Ya, should have become a full fireball at some point. Sure, the people on the ground can't see the top, but the people in the hotels can.

the money is already there. america can have everything + affordable healthcare at the same time. vote for people who will make it real.

Yep, California alone has a greater GDP than Canada and Canada has universal healthcare of course. California had such a large budget surplus, they were about to do universal healthcare right before covid, but now it's going to take a few years to build up those funds again. It will be done.

Yeah pretty and all, yet every year the city send notices to locals, to lower power use during peak ours, ( mind you ,during summer, in the desert )to avoid overloading the system .. casinos could do without some lights during the day.

That looks expensive. Wonder how many people could be fed with this money.

3 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 2

That's like someone looking at your couch and saying, "That's a lot of couch. Wonder how many homeless could sleep there." It's private property, a business that intends to make money. Yes, there was an investment, but that's not your money to spend.

At some point though one must ask about our priorities as “investors” this is cool architecture don’t get me wrong, but even if it’s couches, we fucking suck as a society.

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

There is a stadium inside that fits something like 15,000 people. Do you know how many people it will take to run that? Jobs are being created, people are being fed.

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Sure, small gains for an uphill battle. It’s better than nothing but it still doesn’t make up for it.

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Not to mention the jobs of the people paid to build it, and the people paid to make the materials to build it. The money isn't gone. The money is never gone. It's been distributed. And many people will be fed off of it

Maybe I'm just an old curmudgeon, but digital display "fireworks" don't really do anything for me, especially compared to actual pyrotechnics.

I definitely am a curmudgeon, but fireworks also do nothing for me. Actually, I find them annoying, wasteful, and rude. Seeing a crowd of people ooh and aah over some loud sparkly lights is kinda disturbing.

3 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

It's more than just for fireworks, it's a massive new arena that will have the ability to put on displays for events. It just so happened that the first full lighting show was last night, the 4th. Check out the full video, they do a lot of crazy stuff with it. I hear the default is going to be a globe. F**k you flat earthers:)

3 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

This sums up why I moved out. Eventually, maybe not tomorrow or even in my working lifetime, the jig will be up on that city. Lake Mead is drying up, there's casinos scattered across the flyover states, and Vegas is riding an old reputation so hard that what used to be practically given away to bring in gamblers is now the most expensive part of the trip. I remember the first time a run down shithole told me a domestic was 15/bottle, fuck no bro I can buy the entire sixer for that!

When my pappap was a teenager he and his friends positioned a topless mannequin near the road on a lifeguard chair. It caused so many accidents the police made them put a top on it. This must have been like 1930.

Vegas Sphere - it's an amphitheater in Vegas and I think part of the Venetian hotel/casino complex. I don't think the inside is done but the plans and mock-ups I've seen are pretty dope - it has full projection inside as well, like a planetarium on meth.
