This is so fukcing stupid i cant handle it. Fuck. Cathedrals are still beautiful and awe-inspiring hundreds of years after they were built. This orb is going to look like absolute shit the second it loses power or some of its screens break or something, so, like, 50 years from now it’ll be giant e-waste sitting in a dead city. I hate techbros i hate techbros i hate techbros
, 50 years from now
I admire your optimism that it’ll last that long
Give it like 5 years and you’ll start seeing multiple led panels needing replaced but they can’t afford to do that because they still havent made a profit.
This guy is definitely getting sacrificed to the orb
I would not be surprised if the orb caved in at basically any moment
L take. every sinofuturism video features the big skyscrapers acting as screens. as has been pointed out here before if this thing were built in China we’d all be praising the shit out of it.
edit: vegas in general is shit though. although the desert & surrounding mountains have a nice austere natural beauty to them.
I think skyscrapers are overrated, but at least they have functional interiors. What is inside of the orb?
Tear down the stupid papist rock piles
Rehabilitate them into gay clubs. Will make for dope décor.
Can you imagine what they would do with the confessional booth? I get all tingly just thinking about it
Turn the Vatican into a mosque
Turn the Vatican into a smoking crater
I’m inclined to agree, but I think they missed a trick by making it stationary. It should be a massive unrooted sphere that rolls across the country and crushes everything in its path. And they should let me drive it.
Better than trains
Always saying this while I’m neck deep in traffic just outside the Anime-Faced God Orb.
God damn it, you don’t need to swing to extremes to feel the presence of anything meaningful, forget God
They should make it look like a mushroom cloud to see how many people it freaks out
Is there a Fallout New Vegas mod to add the orb? Maybe with Mr. House yelling at you and then replaced by Yes Man.
I need a Fallout New Vegas remake.
One day it will become known at the goatse orb. For obvious reasons.
Not impressed by this particular orb but if they build an even bigger one I’ll consider worshipping it.
Sir this is the scariest day of my life

Well Vegas is getting a high speed train too, but (un)fortunately you won’t be able to see the sphere from it. It also has a ‘cathedral’. Before the sphere opened they were planning on building one in London too (and maybe Singapore? I forget) so there will probably be more.
But they still refuse to build a subway on or pedestrianize Las Vegas Boulevard, supposedly they’re building a whole giant BoringTM tunnel network but somehow I doubt it’ll happen.
They already pedestrianized the original strip, North Fremont St. And even put a roof over it and covered the ceiling in LEDs and ran a zip line under it.
Vegas Blvd reeks of Tyson’s Corners. Cheap real estate with zero zoning. Mega corps but huge tracks of lands and run their own roads with no coordination. If you want to pedestrianize it, then every casino along it will have to reroute whatever roads through their property to the roads behind them.

The casinos on the strip already all have back/off-street entrances, it’s where most of the parking is. You’d still allow east/west traffic on the major roads like Flamingo and Tropicana, and if they really want to keep those front entrances they could retrofit them to run trams up to them. They could even have a different tacky tram for each hotel or something.
If they’re super concerned about losing the ‘freedom’ to drive down the strip then they could have select hours where they open it to (some) cars like how they periodically close it for pedestrians now for things like New Years and whatnot.
