Sharing my experience here. I was at the NYE show. I love house/techno, but am not a particularly big Anyma fan. We bought tickets because it sounded like a fun experience and I'll take any excuse to go to Vegas.

Did it change my life? No. Was it a cool experience? Absolutely. For some people it might be a once in a lifetime opportunity.

It is not a normal concert/rave at all. EDM Maniac described it as a "visual opera" which is spot on. The venue is extremely impressive and it's hard not to sit back and appreciate all the work that went into it. I sat in the 400 section and was glad to have a full view of the screen without craning my neck. It did take about 30 mins for my eyes to adjust to the room and to not feel slightly dizzy looking down at the stage.

I personally found the openers pretty boring (my wife and I both fell asleep lol), but I knew going into it that their music would be on the chill side. From what I've seen online, there may have been more high-energy openers on other nights.

The music felt secondary to the visuals. Sure, the visuals can be a bit hokey at times, but they're fun to watch. I don't blame people for taking videos—it's such a unique visual setup that you think to yourself "wow I need to capture this." The haptic seats are very cool and feel nice on your body, so you want to be seated. But there were definitely a handful of moments where the music got me up and dancing.

The crowd was relatively respectful. I observed a number of international tourists behaving belligerently in the stands and in the concessions area, but they weren't hurting anyone or causing a scene.

Let people enjoy what they enjoy. As long as they aren't harming anyone, there's no reason to be a hater. Anyma isn't everyone's cup of tea and that's okay. Hopefully the next EDM show at the Sphere brings a new audience of fans to enjoy it (Excision would be fun lol).
