The project owner is Sphere Entertainment Co., a spin-off from Madison Square Garden (MSG) Company, a live entertainment and media holding company that also owns the New York Knicks and New York Rangers. The Sphere sits just east of the Las Vegas strip and is connected to the iconic Venetian Resort by a walkway. That’s more than twice the height of the domes of Spaceship Earth at Epcot in Florida’s Disney World and Vancouver’s Science World, and encapsulates a volume sufficient to hide the Statue of Liberty. At a reported cost of US$2.3 billion, and constructed from 3,000 tons of steel, it’s a geodesic dome that towers 366 feet high and over 500 feet across.
The Sphere is like no other entertainment facility in the world. In a destination city without bounds for sensorial pleasure, The Sphere is right at home in Las Vegas.
