Tick Segerblom looked up at Sphere late Tuesday afternoon, then verbalized what was in his gaze.
“For me, its all up,” the Clark County Commission chairman said. “First off, it’s totally funded by itself, no government subsidies at all. It’s the biggest money-maker for the public on the Strip, and it’s changing our culture.”
Segerblom noted that Sphere pays so it pays property tax, and every show it presents contributes sales tax or entertainment tax. The venue is still reportedly “on the road to profitability,” and is bolstering its activation options with “Wizard of Oz” on Aug. 28, joining Backstreet Boys, Kenny Chesney, the Eagles and Dead & Company as Sphere headliners.
