There wouldn’t be an incentive or the capital necessary to instigate the build out of solar without the sphere. Yes, it would be great if someone did that. But the owners of the sphere specifically have a financial incentive to do so for the sake of lower energy costs. There’s not a lack of land or sun, so whether they do or do not doesn’t amount to a “waste” of energy - anyone else can build out solar production too.
Rough calculation says it needs about 28 ha, this could be about 30 football fields (depending on whatever they mean in your area when they say football :))
Add a solar array and battery bank, a you might even have electricity left over. It’s in the desert after all.
Still a waste of energy because that could be used for the general grid

I saw several concerts there and it was awesome. You want to live a life without anything fun in it?
I wouldn’t say entertainment is a waste of energy even if there are nobler uses for the power.
Like those ass massaging power chairs.
Advertising may be entertaining but it’s not entertainment
I dunno man. You ever see the infomercials for the magic bullet, or the slapchop?
Fetticini
Linguine
Martini
Bikini.
You’re gonna love my nuts!
Remember when he got his dick almost bitten off while doing coke with a hooker?
Wasn’t it his lip?
It may be entertaining, but it’s not entertainment.
Remix still slaps

I’m in a good mood all day
I think he means the outside
Here’s a link. You can go inside of it and it’s essentially a huge concert venue. It’s clearly entertainment.

allow me to remind you about ✨opportunity costs ✨
Have you ever seen a solar array that gives 28 MW?
Is it bigger or smaller than a football field?

So?
Or how about six wind turbines? It’s rather windy in Las Vegas.
I mean, have you seen it with your own eyes?
