    I just wanna say, that I absolutely hate the Vegas Sphere for all it is and stands for. Thank you.

      I don’t hate everything about it but this is the most idiotic thing to start a fundraiser for.

        Well I’m not talking about the fundraiser specifically. Just the Vegas Sphere in general.

        Apart form it being a total eyesore. It is nothing but a colossal, all enveloping ad. That’s all it is and can ever be. A total mocking display of current day capitalism. I feel so bad for all the people being forced every night to view this glorified neon-billboard.

          Ah yes, the sphere, before they put that monstrosity up Vegas was a shining beacon of anti consumption, fighting the tenets of capitalism one casino at a time. Definitely a current day thing, no history of anything of this sort in Vegas.

            Alright touché. But I much rather have an ad working from the inside (aka a casino) than an ad working from the outside. Bottom line: Las Vegas, once again, just a got a little worse to live in.

      What does it stand for? I’ve been to Vegas quite a bit in the past couple years and have seen it plenty of times.

        The inequality of wealth for the American people. Who needs this giant 24/7 neon advertiser? Each year it’s getting more difficult to make ends meet. Especially for a city in a desert you would think a better investment ought to go to water or poverty instances.

        But no, look at the pretty lights, isn’t that cool for about an hour? Well have fun looking at this shit from your single-room poverty apartment for as long as you can still live in Vegas.
