Las Vegas Is Changing FAST — Here's What's Being Built

What happens when a city bets nearly $30 BILLION on its own future—while one of its most spectacular landmarks is already struggling to make the numbers work? Las Vegas is undergoing one of the most ambitious transformations in its history. Beyond the neon lights and legendary casinos, a new generation of megaprojects is reshaping the desert skyline. A $1.75 billion baseball stadium. A 42-story guitar-shaped resort. A 752-foot tower. A $12 billion high-speed railway connecting Las Vegas to Southern California. And at the center of it all, the $2.3 billion Sphere—a technological marvel raising uncomfortable questions about the economics of spectacle. But can these extraordinary projects transform Las Vegas into a year-round global destination? Or is the city building faster than demand can keep up? In this Future Atlas 2050 documentary, we explore the engineering, ambition, and financial risks behind America's next great urban transformation.
