"U2's Raw Vegas Extravaganza: A Spectacular Sphere Opening"

U2's Las Vegas residency showcases their grandiosity with the unveiling of the 18,000 seat Sphere covered in LED screens and a vast overhead walkway. The concert hall is also completely covered in LED screens, providing astonishing visual effects. Despite the risk of being overshadowed by the visuals, U2's smart song selection and appealingly ramshackle performance prevent this from happening. The combination of eye-popping visuals and unruly performances creates a successful and charming show, leaving the audience confident that others will follow suit.
