I visited the Sphere, Las Vegas’ newest venue–It’s a bucket-list item
Las Vegas’ Sphere can take you there, and then to a few other galaxies along the way.Aside from being the newest piece of eye candy in the already fantastical Las Vegas skyline — pyramids, castles and ferris wheels, oh my! — the recently constructed orb is both a concert venue and an interactive exhibit that is a worth addition to any Sin City getaway itinerary.As casual fans may know, The Sphere is currently the home of U2’s months-long residency and will be hosting four back-to-back Phish concerts in April. However, that’s not all the venue has to offer.In addition to the aforementioned shows, Oscar-nominated director Darren Aronofsky’s “Postcard from Earth” can also be seen at The Sphere.On a recent visit to Las Vegas, we took in a visually sumptuous two-hour experience that included a self-guided tour through the atrium followed by Aronofsky’s film inside the dome.Here are our thoughts on the film.The story of ‘Postcard from Earth’ follows two astronauts of sorts, who we later learn are leaving a depleted Earth to colonize a new planet.
