I would like to add that there is much more to Las Vegas than the strip, but I guess that depends on what you are coming out here for.

OK, I appreciate this feedback.

I've just been out for the strip, shows, and sporting events. There weren't any other attractions that interested me, at least that I knew of at the time.

Knights hockey was the most interesting, to be honest. But when I was last in town they were on the road.

Look up the Neon Museum. We were only in Vegas for 2 nights and had shows both nights but I REALLY wanted to check it out.

We saw the final two U2 shows at Sphere. It's an incredible venue - absolutely stunning - and the sound is beyond description. Seriously, there are no words to adequately explain how it's loud but not loud at the same time. You have to experience it for yourself.

As for motion sickness... there was really only one song that was difficult (I had advance warning) I did take dramamine ahead of time and was fine throughout the show. I did look down during much of the crazy song, but did peek and was astonished that it didn't bother me.

I've had motion sickness my entire life - can't deal with 3D or IMAX or any of those 270º screens without feeling nauseous, but I had no issues at Sphere. I think the dramamine did its job (Actually, I think what I took was called Bonine)

I have no fear of heights, however, @dbarila is correct - the upper levels are ridiculously steep. The escalators to get up there are so long. We had lower seats & GA, but made a point of going up to the top.

This doesn't do it justice, but I took this photo from the very top. You can see the black turntable stage in the bottom center.

Not going to lie, that POV seems tenfold worse than IMAX for my vertigo. So, it must be some kind of magic that you survived unscathed.

We didn't sit up there, we just wanted to see it. I'd NEVER buy seats above the 200 level. The 100's were excellent and I always prefer GA floor, which was incredible at the last night of their run. A friend had 300's and had security move her. She ended up in accessible section.

i saw dead & co. and as others have said, if it's an artist you're into, you should give it a go. there isn't anything like it.

John Mayer there would have been incredible, I suspect. Still a lot of things to consider...

I saw Dead & co there last year, and thought the experience was incredible. I also just got back from another trip to Vegas a couple weeks ago. A couple things I enjoyed for the 1st time on this trip was Absinthe @ Caesars Palace, and also spent most of a day wandering around the Mob Museum which I thought was super interesting!

I was 200 level for U2 and it was fantastic, if I could line it up, I’d happily see any band I was interested in there as it was such a cool and memorable concert experience

@wmeugene yeah, I was in the 300's a bit towards the side...if I go again I would definitely go for 200's as close to center as possible

@tvham i was on the side in the 200 level, I thought the view of everything was still great

We were 2 rows from the top, and I wouldn't do that again. Spouse had to close her eyes a few times as it was just too steep. I don't think I'd go again if not 100 or 200 level. To me, the sound was what made it so great.

I was perfectly fine on the 300 level but our seats were more towards the front. It felt like a workout going up the steps though.
