The band are in the midst of their ‘U2:UV Achtung Baby’ residency at the state-of-the-art venue, which kicked off back at the end of September, and is set to run until March 2. The Sphere, a $2 billion venue located in the city’s Venetian resort, is an 18,000 seated structure, with 160,000 speakers and a dome-shaped wraparound LED screen.

U2 will give a special performance and present an award at next week’s Grammys, live from the Sphere in Las Vegas.It will be the first ever official broadcast from the state-of-the-art venue, which has been hosting the ‘U2:UV Achtung Baby’ show since the end of September, and is due to wrap on March 2.The Grammys are taking place on February 4 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, and will be hosted by Trevor Noah. The nominees were announced in November, with SZA picking up the most nominations with nine.

Kylie Minogue after seeing her new aptly named ‘More Than Just A Residency’ residency at Las Vegas’ swanky Venetian Hotel.‘More Than A Residency,’ which is actually equal parts burlesque, acrobatics, variety show and Kylie, is now at the venue’s Voltaire theater, which some may argue was an interesting choice for a residency. The stage is small, and the first level of seating is completely made up of tables, making for a more intimate setting, should you opt for the premium experience.

U2 at Las Vegas’ Sphere on Jan. 26-27 started at $737 before fees on Vivid Seats.Now, just six days later, our team found seats going for as low as $420 before fees.While still rather expensive, that’s a whopping $317 (!) in savings just for practicing patience.Given the show’s impressive bona fides; that’s a steal.“The term immersive doesn’t give this production its due justice,” the New York Post wrote in a glowing review of the show.

It’s been rainy in Las Vegas – but that won’t stop us from soaking it all in! Adventure nourishes the soul! @SpringsPreserve

‘The Saga Continues’ Las Vegas residency at Virgin Hotel’s Theater.Set to take place Feb. 9-10 and March 22-23, this brief run of gigs will enshrine the Staten Island group as the first Hip-Hop act to stage an official Las Vegas residency.By default, that technically makes YDB the youngest Hip-Hop artist to ever have a residency in the City of Sin.

Super Bowl is great.However, nothing beats all the entertainment that comes in the week building up to the game.On Saturday, Feb. 10 — aka Super Bowl Eve — the highly anticipated annual MAXIM Casino Royale Experience presented by Vivid Seats is dropping into Resorts World Las Vegas and bringing some of the biggest names in Hip-Hop and EDM to celebrate Sin City style.Just a few of those icons set to take the stage include the ’00s Hip-Hop legend 50 Cent, Grammy winning superstar 21 Savage, EDM favorite Elderbrook, famed Las Vegas DJ Shift, Ibiza icon Plastik Funk and DJ unKommon.“It is an honor to bring these mega stars of music to Las Vegas for the best Big Game weekend the world has ever seen,” said Seth Kaplan, founder of unKommon events.

Las Vegas’ Sphere can take you there, and then to a few other galaxies along the way.Aside from being the newest piece of eye candy in the already fantastical Las Vegas skyline — pyramids, castles and ferris wheels, oh my! — the recently constructed orb is both a concert venue and an interactive exhibit that is a worth addition to any Sin City getaway itinerary.As casual fans may know, The Sphere is currently the home of U2’s months-long residency and will be hosting four back-to-back Phish concerts in April. However, that’s not all the venue has to offer.In addition to the aforementioned shows, Oscar-nominated director Darren Aronofsky’s “Postcard from Earth” can also be seen at The Sphere.On a recent visit to Las Vegas, we took in a visually sumptuous two-hour experience that included a self-guided tour through the atrium followed by Aronofsky’s film inside the dome.Here are our thoughts on the film.The story of ‘Postcard from Earth’ follows two astronauts of sorts, who we later learn are leaving a depleted Earth to colonize a new planet.

The Killers are coming home.From Aug. 14-30, Brandon Flowers and co.

Apparently, some people do not want this show to go on! Those behind a tribute act to Michael Jackson in Las Vegas claimed the late singer’s estate has been trying to cancel their show — so they’re taking them to court to battle it out now!

MSG Sphere is no gamble.Especially when Rock and Roll Hall of Famers U2 take the stage.On Jan. 25-26, the legendary Irish rockers will return to the now iconic venue to resume their ‘UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere’ residency with two back-to-back concerts.And while Bono and the band typically command full attention from audiences at live shows, the spectacular visuals at the Sphere are tough competition for the 22-time Grammy winners.“It’s a fistfight between the band and the immersive screen,” U2 guitarist The Edge told Wired.

Adele is returning to her home away from home for a pair of concerts on Friday, Jan. 19 and Saturday, Jan.

If Blake Shelton is not at the opening of his new venue in Las Vegas – what does that say?

We honestly think there’s SO MUCH MORE to do in Las Vegas than in Los Angeles.
