On Monday, Timothée Chalamet elevated movie promotion to incredible heights, literally, by making an appearance on top of the Las Vegas Sphere to shoot a promotional video for his upcoming film.

“Marty Supreme,” set to premiere on Christmas Day, features the “A Complete Unknown” star portraying a young man whose ambition to become a top ping-pong player is met with skepticism.

In the promotional clip shared on Chalamet’s Instagram, the shot begins with a close-up of the two-time Oscar nominee. As it zooms out, the reveal shows a drone camera with him secured to a small platform fixed at the peak of the towering 366-foot spherical structure.

The Chicago Bulls’ anthem plays in the background as Chalamet energetically cheers, and the camera continues to pull back, unveiling the Sphere’s LED exterior mimicking a gigantic orange ping-pong ball. Chalamet concludes with a spirited shout of the movie’s tagline: “Dream big!”

Not the First to Go Up

The press release heralding the event described Chalamet as the “first individual to be on top of the Sphere in Las Vegas,” a claim echoed by People, Billboard, and Entertainment Weekly.

However, longtime Casino.org readers are aware that this assertion lacks accuracy. This doesn’t even take into account the multitude of individuals who were perched atop the Sphere during its construction.

Earlier this fall, Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb and his research crew ascended to the Sphere’s summit to install and examine a scientific observatory intended for detecting and monitoring UFOs, all without a platform.

For those curious, reaching the Sphere’s apex is actually straightforward—provided you have an invitation.

Access is granted via a hatch, leading workers along internal walkways and up a ladder for maintenance purposes, to care for the LED panels and manage whatever debris or bird droppings accumulate up there.

Additionally, there is Maison DesChamps, who achieved the summit the most challenging and unlawful way possible—by free-climbing on February 7, 2024, during a publicity stunt aligned with the inaugural Las Vegas Super Bowl. He identifies as the “Pro-Life Spiderman,” an anti-abortion activist.

DesChamps was swiftly apprehended alongside three associates who filmed his ascent, facing two criminal charges: destruction of property and conspiracy to commit such acts, along with a $100,000 damage claim.
