We went for 3 days to see U2 at the Sphere mid-Oct 2023. We stayed one nite at the LINQ and one at Harrah’s. Both are owned by Caesars and convenient short walk to the Sphere via the Venetian. The LINQ has electronic check-in and it was so seamless and fast! You type your reservation number in the kiosk and swipe your passport or driver’s license and key cards are printed off in seconds! Wonderful process to save time standing in lines pre-COVID. We were in District 2 tower, the elevators beside Nook Express. We asked for a room away from the elevators and we got it. The room was large with a separate sitting area with cool mid-century look furniture and big screen tv. We had a bar fridge too. The bathroom was a good size, which was very clean as was the rest of the room. We had views of back area outside but view of Caesar’s as well. Overall, it was very clean and quiet. Other than the tv, there’s not much in tech here, though at least some usb plugins to charge our phones. 8.5/10 Our second night was at Harrah’s which is located next door via a shopping area and their respective casinos. We also did electronic check-in there and, on the spot, a small upgrade of room ($28) It was in the Valley Tower and away from elevators as we prefer. It was large tho no separate areas, and not as ‘chic’ as LINQ but very clean and comfortable. The safe did not work at the LINQ but it did here. As the LINQ, overall the room was sufficiently spacious, very clean and comfortable. No usb inputs anywhere! Time to upgrade table lamps with usb plugs built in the base, Harrah’s! Overall, a very nice stay at both properties. We came to see U2 at Sphere, and they rocked! This $2-3B Sphere is a sight to behold! We were on level one, just in front of the level above so no obstruction (sit in rows 1-22 to avoid) and amazing centred seats to stage to watch U2 perform. The sound was stunning as no speakers on stage or visible yet all encompassing powerful and crystal clear. This is a venue you must visit! We flew on westjet as were direct flights from/to Toronto, and was smooth tho very basic amenities offered.

Waste of 30 minutes of my day. Two rooms that slowly meld from one color to another. I had the exhibit to myself but failed to be moved by the Ganzfeld effect to any emotional state or hallucinatory status. Two "docents" dressed in white keep you from falling out of the exhibit. Photos are strictly prohibited. I found the whole "secret society" aspect of hanging out in a waiting room at Louis Vutton whilst awaiting my private elevator transport with an appropriately pretentious black garbed guide to the darkened anteroom (where they ask you to sign a 3 page release form that they seem annoyed you are actually squinting to read in semi-darkness) off-putting. Striving to be relevant. Failing.
