The MSG Sphere (Madison Square Gardens Project) in Las Vegas illuminates its 366 ft. sphere in a display of High Definition of fireworks and other motion graphics that wow the imagination in preparation for its opening day on October 6th, 2023. Now just known as Sphere at Venetian Resort Las Vegas.
The MSG Sphere theater is still under construction behind the Venetian. The company supplying the LED panels, SACO, claims the screen that will wrap around the round exterior of the structure will cover 580,000 sq. ft. and be the largest LED screen in the world.
But the impressive stats don’t stop there. The massive LED screen inside the theater will measure 160,000 sq. ft. and will wrap up, over, and behind the audience at a resolution over 100 times that of a high-definition television.
Irish rock band U2 is set to become the first act to perform at the MSG Sphere. The date is not set for this performance just yet.
They are wasting no time in promoting the NBA just in time for Summer League 2023 in Las Vegas.
Can you imagine Halloween in Las Vegas? I’m sure they are going to pull all the stops for holidays this year and the entertainment that is set to go on inside the sphere itself.
The Sphere at The Venetian Resort is a spherical music and entertainment arena in Paradise, Nevada, near the Las Vegas Strip and east of the Venetian Resort. The project was announced by the Madison Square Garden Company in 2018, and construction was underway the following year. The 18,600-seat auditorium was initially scheduled to open in 2021, but construction was suspended in April 2020 due to a disruption in the project’s supply chain, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Construction resumed later that year. The Sphere is set to open on September 29, 2023.
