Had occasion to experience the show last Saturday. First thing, if you think you want to go, go to as early a show as you can, and enter from the outside, not the indoor walkway from the Palazzo. I went to the 1200 showing and the line was not bad. The line waiting to get in while I was leaving was stupid.

Also, the ticket time says 1200, but the show doesn't start for an hour. they want you to interact with the AI robots and buy stupid expensive refreshments. I bought a 20 oz gatorade for $6.50.

Once you get over the slight case of vertigo while getting to your seat, you will notice that it's a horrible venue for a concert, especially if you are in the upper area.

The movie itself is as stunning a movie experience as I've ever seen. The seats have haptic response, so you can feel the elephant's footsteps in your chest, and when the zombies show up...oh man!!!!

Most of you will absolutely despise the premise of the movie. But if you can let yourself get over it, you will be absolutely amazed.

When the screen goes from "cigar box" to the entire sphere, the breath just jumps out of your lungs.

I would definitely recommend it.

I was in Vegas in October, and the cab drivers were telling us that valet parking at the sphere is $100.

Uber and and taxis seem to be the predominant mode of transportation in that town, so admittedly, I don’t know who all uses valet parking.
