It seems odd that the Las Vegas sphere hasn't dipped
into the programming that's accumulated for planetariums.
A lot of the original planetariums have fallen into
disrepair - education not being a big source of income.
I wonder what would be involved in translating the format?

It's Vegas. You were expecting something OTHER than entertainment?

My understanding is that planetariums use projectors
to cast the imagery onto their "screens". Presumably,
that imagery is (now) in a digital form so it would just
be a numerical processing task to make the conversion.
But, the medium suggests there should be far better
(more expressive) uses that wouldn't really have been
practical in the planetarium venue (think: moving pictures)

I figured the conversion wouldn't be impossible. Any 'film
stock' or image can be digitized with the same spatial
coordination.
Planetarium displays I've seen are often limited to a half
hemisphere, doubled.
'expressive'?
I can't see it's use in making films - green screens don't
cost $2B.
