just opened this weekend with U2. Check out this video. Pretty incredible. After seeing a show here, I don?t know if I could see one anywhere else.

I was skeptical, but that is most impressive.

I heard about that from one of the friends I went to the game with Saturday. I got the impression it had been there a while, but now I understand it's brand new.

I will likely try to go at some point, so long as it's not the cost of 3 house payments.

It?s been under construction forever (got delayed 2+ years during Covid). It was standing there unfinished when I went to LV in 2021.

I just checked Ticketmaster. They?re only selling the tickets with two night hotel packages (at the Venetian), and those start at $1065 per person. Which honestly, isn?t as bad as I expected. Still more than I?m willing to spend though, especially since Bono has clearly lost about 15 mph off his fastball.

I saw it like that as well.  It looked pretty impressive even then

I saw them in Philly during the Joshua Tree tour, it was hands down the best live performance I've ever seen. This clip??? Yikes! That's crap

Excellent venue however

The Unforgettable Fire album has proven to be their best music IMO

I saw them in Atlanta in 1991 during the Zooropa tour...that was their last great album, coming at a time when everyone thought they were finished.  That had to wait till the next album 

It was a great concert, one of the best I have been to.  I did have to listen to some of the people standing nearby say they were their for the opening act (The Pixies) and not U2. I still haven't stopped laughing at that one.
