Flights From Fort Myers To Las Vegas Are On Sale This Week
I have been dying to see U2 perform in the famous Las Vegas Sphere. If you are like me, perhaps spring is the time to do it. Especially when considering flights from Fort Myers to Las Vegas are on sale this week. If only the concert tickets would go on sale too. Well, a girl can always dream.
The deals are on Breeze Airways. They are celebrating the spring equinox with sales on their new and returning transcontinental routes. Like most airlines, Breeze shifts routes during the spring and summer based on demand and travel patterns. During the winter months, as you well know, more people are flying south and to RSW to enjoy Southwest Florida’s tropical temperatures. That is beginning to shift.
Breeze has 34 so-called long-haul routes which are typically east to west. To celebrate their return, the airline is discounting those routes by 34%. Only one leaves from RSW but it’s a fun one for spring travel. However, that sale does extend to all other flights.
“Spring signals renewal and what better way to renew your spirit than to book a nonstop flight to somewhere new,” said Breeze Airways’ President Tom Doxey. “Our seasonal and year-round flights are perfectly tailored for peak travel demand – whether it’s a short hop or a long-distance adventure.”

5 Rock Acts We'd Like to See at the Las Vegas Sphere
Sphere in Las Vegas is one of the coolest venues to open in decades. There truly hasn’t been anything like it, especially when it comes to its many visual aspects.
To begin with, its sheer presence as a building just off the Vegas Strip is awe-inspiring. Your eyes are just drawn to it, regardless of what it projected on its external surface. Sphere’s website notes the “Exosphere” features 580,000 sq feet of LEDs that are so bright they can be seen from space.
Its interior is also magical, and we don’t just mean its spatial audio system. Sphere’s website states, “Events at Sphere are immersive experiences that, depending on the event, may include elements such as seat haptics, movement sensations, flashing lights, intense lighting, visual effects, loud noises, and atmospheric simulations including fog, scent and wind.”
In other words: There are seemingly few limits to what can be done with Sphere’s remarkable technology.
U2 and Sphere
After breaking ground in Sept. 2018, Sphere opened in Sept. 2023. U2, of course, was the first artist to perform a residency at the new Vegas venue, which cost $2.3 billion to build. In December 2023, The Hollywood Reporter noted the 17 shows U2 performed through Nov. 30 generated $30.7 million in revenue, which is an average of $1.8 million per show.
Additionally, Sphere has screened Darren Aronofsky’s film Postcards From Earth. Through Nov. 30, the state-of-the-art venue has hosted 111 screenings of the film, which has resulted in $44.5 million in revenue. This averages to $400,000 per screening. Altogether, these two attractions have generated over $75 million in revenue for the new venue.
After U2 wraps their residency on March 2, Phish will be the next band to perform at The Sphere. Their show dates are currently April 18-21. After Phish, Dead & Company’s “Dead Forever” residency will begin on May 16.
This all has us asking ourselves a very important question: Who should be next to occupy Sphere? After some thought, we think these five rock acts would make very interesting use of the unique space.
