Phantom
There was $40 million to design a custom-built theater for "Phantom of the Opera" and renamed the show Phantom - The Las Vegas Spectacular. Now that is a lot of money for just the set, it must look amazing.

In this version of "Phantom," the chandelier hangs in four pieces, which is assembled in dramatic fashion during the beginning of the show. The spokes of the ceiling's dome support 32 cables that guide the chandelier into place and it takes 40 individual computers, complete with navigational software, to run the chandelier. During the show's climactic scene, the chandelier falls 45 feet in three seconds and stops only 10 feet above those seated beneath it - an effect that always causes a stir in the audience. That would be amazing to see alone.
