Plainly untrue.
What kind of person writes such an obvious mistruth?

I am booked for my next visit.Saw the postcard last year.Cost much less.I took taxi also. Don't go before doors open on hot days. Hell outside.Money for the ticket. I pay for special shows I want to see.I bargain hurt as well..I spend tons of money gambling.In my senior years I do what I feel like.Do I wish Las Vegas would go back to old days.Lot of cheap shows and food. Sure I do wish it.Yet that's all it is ,a wish.Gald enjoyed.Some folks just have the negative gene.
Agree about Eagles, but alas I saw them when they were all still alive and playing together about 10 years ago. Great show..I can't bring myself to pay to see the current lineup. Pink Floyd would be a fun ride :)

Well, when you go to see a band that's been around since 1918 and the members are all over 100 years old, what you're mostly going to get is digital this and that, visual and sound effect "enhancements" anyway--their voices would be shot and nigh unrecognizable. So since the Sphere is essentially sound and visual effects, I think it would be just like any of those other Vegas "Aren't those guys dead yet?" feature concerts, but with higher tech. Might be fun.
Sorta like a Mae West strip show after she turned 80.
Funny.I still go for cheap South Point shows.Those entertainers 80,s my age.

That's nice, that you had an opportunity to give her a unique gift. Happy wife,...
I too wonder if there's a band that would be enhanced by the Sphere's special effects. The logistics and copyright/legal hurdles would be monumental, and I think it would have to be an iconic band that's been around forever, like the Eagles or Bruce Springsteen. Of course, they would charge you a sack of gold coins to get in, and that beer would be $50.
The eagles did a run of shows there. So did Phish. I would really like to see Roger Waters do a show there but that is not likely to happen. Roger Waters at Tacoma Dome was the best concert I have been to. Problem is it would probably take him and his team a few years to produce a show there and he is already quite old. He isn't going to just slap some visuals together like the eagles did. He's going to take the time to do it right. I have heard rumors that Metallica might be doing shows there. That'd be pretty cool.

I really like the Tacoma Dome-a. For that matter, I like Tacoma a lot more than the Puget Sound folks seem to.
For the Vegas Big Ball, Metallica seems like kind of a natural choice, since their shtick has never been music as such, but rather, visuals and sound effects.
I just wish it was a LITTLE cheaper, so I could try it out.
