00:00Right off the Vegas Strip is the future of entertainment in a way only science fiction
00:04could predict. Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for a dream list
00:10of experiences, shows, or concerts we'd love to catch at the Las Vegas Sphere.
00:16Now this is pod racing.
00:21Number 10, Daft Punk.
00:30Just look at the prices of Daft Punk's collectible back catalog on sites such as Discogs or any of
00:37the rabid fan portals online. There's a huge market for the reunion of this influential
00:42French electronic outfit. Even if the possibility of this actually happening seems unlikely,
00:48we can dream, can't we?
00:49The idea of Daft Punk performing at a venue such as Sphere feels tailor-made for their
01:03immersive world. A combination of enveloping visuals with Daft Punk's signature sound would
01:08work wonders for making all of those reunion wishes come true.
01:12Number 9, Gaming Adventures.
01:22I think we're in the game.
01:26Excuse me?
01:27What are you talking about?
01:28Somehow, I don't know how, I think we got like sucked into the game.
01:32Video games have certainly come a long way since the 1970s, but some aspects of this sociological
01:39corner remain the same. Specifically, how good gamers can draw a crowd. The growing success
01:45of esports is a testament to this fact, as more and more habitual players trade in their
01:50scholastic endeavors for, well, let's call them athletic pursuits.
01:54Get this guy, get this guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:59Oh, well, they're bad dudes. That's why they call the game bad dudes.
02:04Sphere could prove to be a great venue, not only for holding world video game
02:09competitions, but also certain nostalgic playthroughs of franchises like The Legend of Zelda or Final
02:15Fantasy. What can we say? We like to watch.
02:19You know, find a warp, dude. Find a warp. If he finds a warp, he can jump for us.
02:24Get it, Jimmy. Go, go, go.
02:26Number 8, Family Shows.
02:28It seems today that all you see is violence in movies and sex on TV.
02:35But we're in those good old-fashioned values on which we used to rely.
02:41Planning any important or expensive vacation takes a lot of time and preparation. Additionally, places such as Sphere don't exactly want to find themselves in a corner regarding whom they can appeal.
02:53Thus, it should be important that there are just as many options at Sphere for families with young children seeking
02:59out a good time.
03:12Performances from a circus or some other family-friendly outfit would make Sphere even more of a tourist destination than it already is, and this is always a good thing when it comes to increasing varied lines of revenue streams.
03:25That actually went really well.
03:28Yeah! You're trending galaxy-wide! I mean, you're a four-quadrant hit! Your plus-seven's a plus-tan! But that's just the beginning!
03:35Number 7, 2001, A Space Odyssey.
03:39Showing films at Sphere is something of a no-brainer, and has already been done with certified classics like The Wizard of Oz.
03:59This has essentially opened up a wellspring of options for this Vegas entertainment complex, with so many movies, new and old, potentially seeing a screening.
04:08You see, this is my life. It always will be. There's nothing else. Just us. And the cameras. And those wonderful people out there in the dark.
04:21All right, Mr. Demille, I'm ready for my close-up.
04:26We'd personally love to view something along the lines of Stanley Kubrick's heady, austere, and psychedelic masterpiece, 2001, A Space Odyssey.
04:35The film's incredible visual aesthetic feels like it would be a perfect fit for Sphere, as all of Kubrick's meticulous work lives on with fresh energy for a new generation.
04:44I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do.
04:52Number 6, Immersive Mythology.
04:55Whoa! Each hair holds a story?
04:58Does it? Oh, that's right! That's right! Show us one here, and let's have a look!
05:06One of the most frustrating things about studying mythology is that its inherent nature is something tantalizingly out of reach from our everyday world.
05:15An immersive mythology experience at Sphere could change all that, utilizing its ridiculous visual capacity to introduce a truly realistic mythological landscape.
05:25Where's the eagle? You're safe inside the gate!
05:27What can I do?
05:28Just use the pin!
05:29What?
05:30Use one as pin and click it!
05:31Whoa!
05:32Fans could enter the maze of the Minotaur, or fly alongside Icarus during his doomed journey across the sea, smash trolls and frost giants with Thor, God of Thunder, or oversee Egypt at the right hand of Amun-Ra. The only limits could be our own imaginations.
05:50I mangled the Minotaur, grappled with the Gorgon!
05:55Just like Phil told me.
05:57I analyzed the situation, controlled my strength, and kicked!
06:03The crowds went wild!
06:05Number 5, Marvel and DC Live.
06:08This is what I'm talking about!
06:09Big slow motion fight, sad music, everybody working together!
06:12Who knows if you live or die, that sort of thing!
06:14Who's ready?
06:15Much has been said over the past couple of years about comic book movie fatigue.
06:19The Marvel and DC universes all have their fair share of challenges to overcome, as new generations of fans expect different things from their superheroic entertainment.
06:29What better way to combat this fatigue than by developing something for Sphere in Las Vegas?
06:34Avengers!
06:41Assemble.
06:42Not only talking about screening classic tentpoles like Avengers Endgame.
06:45The possibilities are basically limitless, as full-scale renditions of classic Marvel and DC stories are brought to life on the grandest scale possible.
06:54Characters like Spider-Man or Superman could fly above our heads, while the villainous Doctor Doom or the Joker hold us captive via their insidious machinations.
07:03Sounds great, doesn't it?
07:05This town deserves a better class of criminal.
07:08And I'm gonna give it to him.
07:10Number 4, Star Wars IRL.
07:13Use the Force, Luke.
07:18Let go of Luke.
07:22The Force is strong, isn't he?
07:24Luke, trust me.
07:26Chalk this next one up to yet another franchise that's so important to so many people, while also being one that's perhaps in desperate need of some life support.
07:34Sphere at Las Vegas could provide that required life support to George Lucas' creation, bringing the Star Wars Extended Universe back to its former glory.
07:43That's how we're gonna win.
07:45Not fighting what we hate.
07:48Saving what we love.
07:49It doesn't even really matter how invested one is, with all of the myriad avenues of media associated with Star Wars.
07:56Sphere could either bring it back old school, a la the 1970s or 80s, or come up with something totally new.
08:02Something that all fans of a galaxy far, far away could get swept up in.
08:06Freeze!
08:07Oh dear.
08:08Don't move.
08:14I love you.
08:15I know.
08:16Number 3, Career Retrospectives.
08:19Sphere has already proven how it can handle a musical residency with ease.
08:31We're hoping that the venue's success on the musical front will allow for other unique opportunities to arrive.
08:37This is getting dangerous.
08:38This is about to start going in my head real fast.
08:41I mean, you just made me feel so, so powerful.
08:47We can easily imagine artists like Taylor Swift or Madonna bringing career retrospective tours to Sphere.
08:54But why stop there?
08:55Why not invite groups from all walks of life to the party?
08:58An immersive hip hop tour could be great, highlighting all of the genre's years of change.
09:03Or maybe a classic band, the likes of Iron Maiden or Metallica, could bring their decades of experience to Sphere.
09:09Shaking the rafters with heavy metal thunder.
09:12Number 2, Nature Journeys Retro Planetarium Experiences.
09:24Xenipede Laser Light Show.
09:25I can't believe it.
09:26Gene, it's gonna be so much fun.
09:28You keep saying Xenipede like it's a real thing.
09:31Viewers of a certain age will likely remember the heyday of laser rock shows that were frequently held at planetariums back in the 70s and 80s.
09:38Sphere could market that nostalgia to its audience while at the same time bringing together different generations for a once in a lifetime brand of retro experience.
09:47Finale.
09:48What about a laser light show?
09:49That's a great idea.
09:50Here's a budget and a list of companies that do light shows.
09:53Uh, can you just handle it for me?
09:54I've gotta run.
09:55Thanks so much.
09:56If I'm not sure if I've only been thinking about it and elsewhere, Sphere could also be a great place for nature and space enthusiasts to receive their required dose of educational content.
10:03Global landscapes could come alive via Sphere's visual capabilities, making exploring the varied facets of our world as easy as taking a seat.
10:11Endless wall, endless watchtowers all the way to the horizon.
10:15way to the horizon it's like nothing you could ever imagine before we continue be sure to subscribe

10:39the shins you know no you gotta hear this one song it'll change your life i swear can you properly
10:48visualize that first time when you fell in love with music how it made you feel the ritualistic
10:53aspects of buying a new album turning down the lights and putting on the biggest headphones
10:58in the house the first time i can sort of see how that's done
11:01sphere feels like it would be a perfect place for the album experience to take on a whole new meaning
11:15as artists like pink floyd bjork radiohead or queen could see their music affect audiences like never
11:21before we live in an age where even the concert experience can largely be drowned out by our
11:27connectivity sphere could offer a counterpoint to that a respite where only the music matters
11:32and we connect with those sounds for the first time all over again
