A thousand dollars in cash is a rare sight, and kind of makes people feel weird. It almost feels wrong to have that much money in cash. In Las Vegas however, you can actually visit certain casinos and see 1 million dollars in cash, protected by thick security glass.The MGM Sphere

The MGM Sphere is the largest LED screen on the planet. The sheer size of the screen is hard to capture in photos, so it really has to be seen to be believed. The MGM Sphere can be changed to show pretty much anything, from adverts to its own little planet earth.The Container Park
