The Sphere
Ideal: Ideal for technology, concerts, visual shows, modern architecture, and a different Las Vegas visit.
It opened in September 2023 for roughly $2.3 billion, standing 112 meters tall and 157 meters wide. The exterior Exosphere covers about 54,000 square meters — the world's largest LED surface — and can turn the building into a giant eye, planet, or emoji. Inside, a wraparound 16K screen surrounds the audience; sound runs through 167,000 speakers with beam steering so different seats can receive different audio. U2 played the opening concert residency.
