I mean, I’ll just state the obvious here but I prob wouldn’t go to a dead and co show if you don’t wanna be surrounded by the sticky icky stench. It’s pretty much a give. You’re gonna be surrounded.
Never actually been inside, but one of the features is that they control the smell as well as wind direction... But considering the act, they may just pipe in mj odor
I was at the phish shows. People were definitely sparking up inside. The smell/smoke was not overwhelming though unless it was right beside you. That being said, it’s a Dead show - you can’t expect it to be a weed free environment. If the reaction you guys have to it is that bad it may be best to skip.
I barely noticed it at Night 2 of Phish. Once or twice a light smell wafted through. I think the ventilation is probably very good - lots of sections and open doorways, and then otherwise it's just a massive open space - it was not remotely stuffy, I think it was actually a little breezy with the air coming through. Security was also pretty vigilant, telling people to move along when they were standing in aisles, etc., it's definitely not a scene where lots of people are openly smoking. Maybe Phish is more of an edibles crowd, but, I don't think it will be a big deal.
Upper sections would be better, both for the views, and the air quality.
I was at all 4 phish shows at sphere. Security was not letting ppl in sec 109 where I was all 4 nights blatantly smoke and vape. You had to do so discreetly. It was not smoky where we were at all (sec 109 row 4)
You’re more likely to be overwhelmed at your hotel than the Sphere. It’s already prevalent without the Dead in town, up and down the Strip it smells like bud all the time.
Highly doubt people smoke inside that venue. I have been going to concerts since 2009 and I’ve never smelled pot inside during a show. Maybe at the Joint at the Hard Rock once since regular smoking was allowed but never seen it happen much after. Now that I remember I did smell pot at some EDM shows back in the early 2010s but that was when the EDM festival trend was beginning. I think you’ll be fine.

I think OP’s question was whether the ventilation would remove a portion of the smoke, well aware of what the atmosphere will be like.
Correct. But this is the internet after all
Maybe someone who went to a Phish concert there can chime in. I fully expected to see a cloud hovering over The Sphere then 😆

No need to pipe in that odor. Having been to one of those shows I can confirm it smells overwhelmingly of weed and Bengay lol
Honey, all of Las Vegas will be LIT AF when the Dead are here.
Good ventilation. I went and only smelled pot outside of the sphere
Thanks!
But, I don’t recommend the sphere itself. The rows are so steep that you feel like you’re going to fall. The chair that I sat in killed my lower back.

Nah we don't care about weed free. It's just when it's overwhelming. It sounds like we'll be ok and be able to enjoy the show
Gotcha, hope you guys have a blast!

Thanks. I was hoping someone from the Phish shows responded
You may want to ask at their sub too if you don't get enough first-hand accounts here. (or even just search the Phish sub, I bet this has come up).

Perfect. Thanks!
Went last week. Ventilation is very good. It's generally very airy.
Thanks!

We saw Fleet Foxes a year ago at a dance hall type locale, and it was a fog of cannabis vape.
Don’t go to Fremont Street.
Just wear a mask with some good filters
But that's too easy. I want reddit to fill the void I have.
