Where the Streets Have No Name U2 @ The Sphere, Las Vegas 29 Sep 2023 - YouTube[^] but here might be a bit close ... look at all of those phones! U2 - Zoo Station.. 1st song ever at The Sphere 9-29-23 Las Vegas - YouTube[^]

          Not all of them; but it's the replacement leg that's a bigger issue.

                I saw the Opera House about the time construction was complete. It was impressive, indeed!

                  I lived in Vegas, by the strip, for a year. Literally the worse year of my entire life. If you go, go as a tourist and never leave the strip. I've met some nice people there, but I also I met a lot of immature people like dudes working at the grocery store that were into me and treated me like crap because it was not mutual. Like this was high school. Everyone smokes there - everyone - everywhere. Sometimes it's tobacco. Most of the times it's the herb. So if you want clean air and value intelligent consciousness then stay away. They do try to limit the nastiness a bit on the strip because that's the money maker. It's also an illusion. And don't be shocked because there's a lot of homeless people in the strip. They're just hiding. They'll never show that in the ads though. Just don't believe everything you see on TV/online. Most of it is a lie. So, if you go, do the touristy thing, unless you're a stoner with zero ambition in life.

                    Just to give you a frame of reference, people will be getting stoned in the hospitals there. Want to watch a movie? People smoking it up inside the theater too. Rent an office? Expect jackarses to smoke it up the lobby. No matter who you tell, there's always another one. You're outnumberd. You tell them to stop; they get angry. How dare you take away their precious herb? God forbid they function as a normal human.

                      Not to mention people will rob and con you all the time there. Literally have no soul. They'll look you straight in the eye and lie to you. And I don't mean just at the strip. I'm talking about at the grocery store too. Speaking of which, I can't even talk about the crap you'll find in the grocery store parking lot because it's not lounge friendly. Point is... it's all an illusion. Go play the tourist game and then leave. If you're not a tourist Vegas is the filthiest "nice" place (city has money because it was built on losers gambling) you'll ever visit.

                        Been there before ... It's the same all over the world. I don't gamble, but that venue is like nothing else.

                          I lived there. So, did you live there or just visit as a tourist? Because if you didn't live there then you should listen to what I'm saying about how nasty that place is.

                            Also, it was worse there, when compared to other places in the US. I realize this is the Internet and if people can't disagree they have nothing to talk about, but I promise I have the ability to contrast and compare.

                              I think the second video perhaps shows it the best.... Tiny little ants on the stage. Then the lights start spinning and you can't even see the ants anymore.

                                In 2002 I went to a American Society of Clinical Pharmacist convention in Vegas Booked a room in advance close to the venue When I checked in no one said anything about the fridge in the room I opened it twice once to see the selection and second time to see if it contained water NO WATER When I checked out my bill included a charge for the fridge WHAT I did not take anything from the fridge! YES but you opened it Informed them to call the police as I was about to leave without paying the bill After 20 min a manager said it was Hotel Policy GREAT I SAID My POLICY is not to pay for something I did not purchase and opening a door is not proof of purchase Also nowhere did you inform me of the Hotel Policy they removed the charge It must be part of the USA Open Door Policy

                                  The crazy part is, the tourist spots are actually the nice spots. That's their money maker. :laugh:

                                      I lived in Vegas, by the strip, for a year. Literally the worse year of my entire life. If you go, go as a tourist and never leave the strip. I've met some nice people there, but I also I met a lot of immature people like dudes working at the grocery store that were into me and treated me like crap because it was not mutual. Like this was high school. Everyone smokes there - everyone - everywhere. Sometimes it's tobacco. Most of the times it's the herb. So if you want clean air and value intelligent consciousness then stay away. They do try to limit the nastiness a bit on the strip because that's the money maker. It's also an illusion. And don't be shocked because there's a lot of homeless people in the strip. They're just hiding. They'll never show that in the ads though. Just don't believe everything you see on TV/online. Most of it is a lie. So, if you go, do the touristy thing, unless you're a stoner with zero ambition in life.
