  • Not really. I stayed at the Venetian last year, and my my room didn’t include the sphere view in either the features or as an upcharge. (The sphere is “part of” the Venetian, so they’d be the most likely to advertise rooms with a view.) Their room is quite a bit further than mine was. They may have paid for the strip view, but without specific advertising they probably would not be able to tell ahead of time if they’d have LOS on the sphere.











  • The ball was white/light gray. It has the surface texture of plaster of Paris, but it is somewhat lighter than would be appropriate for its canteloupe-like size.

    I don’t think I actually pictured a whole person as pushing the ball, more likely it was a disembodied hand or the general sensation of pushing it myself.

    I remember being specifically intrigued that I pictured the ball rolling back towards the center of the table and pondering why I had chosen the table to be slightly concave. I don’t remember more attributes of the table, but I have the feeling that has more to do with inattention to its details rather than not picturing them at the time.

    I imagine that, based on the framing of the story, my interpretation was to picture the sphere as a literal entity, but the person as the “concept of a push”… The table probably lied somewhere in the middle.
