Sphere (venue)

Sphere (also known as Sphere at the Venetian Resort or Las Vegas Sphere) is a music and entertainment arena in Paradise, Nevada, United States, east of the Las Vegas Strip. Designed by Populous, the project was announced by the Madison Square Garden Company in 2018, known then as the MSG Sphere. The venue, which seats 17,600 people and has total capacity of 20,000, is being marketed for its immersive video and audio capabilities, which include a 16K resolution wraparound interior LED screen, speakers with beamforming and wave field synthesis technologies, and 4D physical effects. The venue's exterior also features 580,000 sq ft (54,000 m2) of LED displays, making it the largest in the world. Sphere measures 366 feet (112 m) high and 516 feet (157 m) wide; it would be the largest spherical building on Earth, if it were not a geodesic dome. The arena cost $2.3 billion, making it the most expensive entertainment venue built in the Las Vegas Valley. Sphere opened on September 29, 2023, with Irish rock band U2 beginning a 40-show residency called U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere. Director Darren Aronofsky's docu-film Postcard from Earth opened on October 6, 2023. Since its opening, the venue has also hosted residencies of various lengths for Phish, Dead & Company, the Eagles, and the Backstreet Boys, and has begun screening an immersive 4D version of the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. The venue is owned by Sphere Entertainment, a spin-off of MSG Company.

  [edit&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Background")] The project, known then as the MSG Sphere, was announced in February 2018. The project was initially a partnership between the Madison Square Garden Company (MSG) and Las Vegas Sands Corporation. Sphere is just off the Las Vegas Strip and east of the Venetian resort, which was opened by Las Vegas Sands in 1999. Las Vegas Sands contributed the 18-acre (7.3 ha) site for the project. Apollo Global Management purchased the Venetian in 2022 and became MSG's new partner on the Sphere project, replacing Las Vegas Sands. As part of the sale, the land beneath the Venetian Resort and Sphere was purchased by Vici Properties. [...] Sphere Studios, originally MSG Sphere Studios, opened in Burbank, California, in May 2022. The facility handles production and post-production work for the Las Vegas sphere and future spheres. MSG Sphere Studios sought to collaborate with filmmakers and musicians to create some of the content for the Las Vegas sphere. Ted King, who previously worked on Star Trek: The Experience, is among those who will create visual content for Sphere in Las Vegas. The studio will also produce content in association with the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix, which will travel past Sphere. The spherical studio facility, nearly 100 feet (30 m) tall, is a miniature version of the Las Vegas sphere. The facility uses Big Sky, a specialized camera system created specifically to produce material for Sphere. [...] MSG had initially stated that it intends to build other Sphere venues around the world. A similar MSG Sphere was proposed to be built in Stratford, East London. However, in November 2023, Sphere's planning permission was rejected by Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, primarily over concerns about potential light pollution. The Tees Valley Mayor, Ben Houchen, suggested Teesside in North East England as an alternative location for Sphere.
