Inaugurated on July 4, 2023 on the occasion of the American National Day, The Sphere is the new attraction of the Venitian Hotel in Las Vegas. It is a concert hall with a giant screen, which will be inaugurated by the group U2 on September 29.
LED panels with a total area of 54,000 m2, all distributed around a large giant ball 110 meters high? In Las Vegas, where all the projects are crazy, a spectacular room called “The Sphere” was inaugurated on July 4, 2023.
The Sphere is both a concert hall and a show in itself, which should attract tourists with its ultra-immersive videos, just like the other street performances found in Las Vegas (the volcano , fountains, the Eiffel Tower…). The first videos published online are in any case spectacular.
The huge new project in Las Vegas
On September 29, the group U2 will be the first to inaugurate The Sphere. The performance hall, which would have cost more than 2 billion dollars, has a capacity of 18,000 seats. Enough to make it one of the largest halls in Las Vegas, where many international shows take place every year. Inside, The Sphere offers a giant circular screen with a record resolution of 16K x 16K, 164,000 speakers and immersive seats.
According to Sphere Entertainment, the LED pads that give the illusion of a giant sphere-shaped screen are spaced eight inches apart and contain 48 individual LED diodes, each capable of displaying 256 million different colors. The Sphere currently serves no purpose other than impressing the gallery with impressive images, but could eventually become the most spectacular place to watch a movie or a show. Las Vegas to Las Vegas, basically.
