Spectacular MSG Sphere Arena Opens in Las Vegas
Spectacular MSG Sphere Arena Opens in Las Vegas

If Las Vegas wasn’t already quirky enough…
Eye-bulging, neon-lit creations are as regular as slot machines in Sin City, but the latest construction to hit the strip is on another planet.
Welcome to the MSG Sphere, an 18,000-seat arena of epic proportions and an engineering wonder.
The mind-blowing 110m tall, 150m wide structure is covered with more than 50,000sqm of programmable LED panels – making it the world’s largest (and, at 100x clearer than any other TV, the highest resolution!) LED screen.
Costing upwards of US$2 billion, the MSG Sphere is a technological wonder inside and out.
Its exterior was first lit up on 4 July to celebrate Independence Day, and since then all manner of ephemeral visual displays have come to life.
Inside, the entertainment venue features a main stage engulfed by another humongous LED screen that wraps around much of the arena.
Coupled with other elements, like a visceral infrasound haptic system, it aims to provide ultra-immersive concert and cinematic experiences like nothing before it.
The MSG Sphere is scheduled to officially open on 29 September with Irish rock legends, U2, set to perform.
Footnote: Word on the strip is that plans are being made to create a similar venue in London. Blimey!
