The Sphere
The Sphere in Las Vegas is a unique and innovative entertainment venue that revolutionizes the way people experience live events. This state-of-the-art arena, located east of the Venetian Resort, was announced in February 2018 and was built in partnership between the Madison Square Garden Company (MSG) and Las Vegas Sands Corporation.
The Sphere stands 366 feet tall with a diameter of 516 feet. It has a total of eight levels, including a VIP club and 23 suites, and features a 17,500 seat auditorium (with standing room it can accommodate 20,000) and the world’s largest and highest resolution LED screen. There are plans to build a pedestrian bridge to connect the Sphere to the Venetian Expo.
The Sphere uses beamforming technology and an infrasound haptic system so the audience can feel the sound in the form of deep vibrations. This technology creates an immersive environment that allows two people sitting at different places to hear and feel two different things, creating a unique and personalized audio experience for every guest.
The Sphere also features advanced connectivity technology, including 5G and Wi-Fi 6, which provides fast and reliable internet connectivity throughout the arena, allowing guests to share their experiences on social media, stream live video, and access interactive features during live events.
The exterior of the Sphere is covered in LED panels which allows the venue to display dynamic digital art and advertising.
The Sphere will host various events, including sporting events like wrestling, boxing, mixed martial arts, concert residencies, corporate events, award shows, films, product launches, and more.
