So build concentrated solar power and store the heat for after the sun sets. Bonus - thermal power plant turbines give inertia to the grid, which photo-voltaics don’t.
If only the creators of the ball had enough profit coming in to put up more solar panels and build up a battery bank for the night so they wouldn’t take anything from the grid…
If only Las Vegas were located somewhere that the sun shines almost all day every day. \s
And yet they still couldn’t cover the last 30%.
That’s probably at night

Regardless, that energy could be going to offset other energy currently being produced by non-renewables no matter which way you slice it.

I highly doubt the operating hours of this ball of decadence match the time when solar power peaks
