Las Vegas Ushers in a New Era of Immersive Design

The world’s largest spherical structure, the MSG Sphere at the Venetian, is nearing completion on an 18-acre footprint at the corner of Koval Lane and Sands Avenue. Designed by architectural firm Populous, the Sphere will host concerts, residencies, corporate events, and select sporting events like boxing and MMA.

The state-of-the-art venue has nine levels and 875,000 square feet of interior space. A network of ring beams lines the circumference of each level to support the domed structural-steel roof. Inside, the world’s largest LED screen clocks in at 160,000 square feet, the equivalent of three football fields. Featuring a capacity of 17,500 seated guests, the Sphere incorporates 15 full-service and 14 quick-service experiential F&B venues, all crafted by New York design studio ICRAVE. Outside, a 580,000-square-foot fully programmable LED exterior commands attention, while a 1,000-foot-long pedestrian bridge connects the Sphere to the Venetian.
