The Las Vegas Sphere might have an impressive spec sheet, but its energy demands are almost as staggering.

    But wouldn’t that be only necessary if it needed to render real-time graphics at such a scale? If I’m correct, all its doing is playing back videos.

      I think it’s doing some non-trivial amount of rendering, since it’s often syncing graphics with music played live.
