I wanted to save my 500th review for a banger and this venue totally deserves it. For the last six months, I had been bombarded by Backstreet Boys ads (probably because I watched them from start to finish). In June, I was in town with friends for a weekend trip and we were fortunate to get tickets to the second to last No Doubt concert at retail price. I was prepared for an experience like no other based on the aforementioned ads as well as pictures and what I have heard from friends. Even with lofty expectations, the Sphere blew my mind. At the start of the show, we were completely surrounded by visuals and other stimuli. There was so much going on for the first song, I was happy that it was toned down a little bit just so we could shift some of our focus back to the band. The production of the videos varied quite a bit for each song to keep everything feeling fresh. Some were like giant music videos that would be fine as standalone events. Some combined visual effects with live video of the band. There were breaks for the band but the time was filled with No Doubt history and interviews with the band members. The whole show was over two hours and I was thoroughly entertained throughout. I can't believe Gwen Stefani is in her mid-50s - kicking and dancing around on stage like in her 20s. All of No Doubt was still rocking it like they were in the 90s with a ton of energy and smiles. A few tips. The 200s and 300s are recommended for the best screen viewing without having to look too far up or down. Center is #06. I think near 206 would be a good blend of watching the screen and still being able to see the stage with the naked eye. However, I think almost every seat in the house is probably a pretty good view. Depending on the show, there might be some surprises dropped from the ceiling, so watch out for that and you might get a fun souvenir. Caution to anyone who can't handle too much visual or seat shaking. It's quite a lot and I could see some people be overwhelmed by the venue. My final recommendation - just go. No description can do this experience the justice. read more

Sphere - Pre-show View - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Awe inspiring venue, especially the outside spherical screen and the interior atrium. Saw Backstreet Boys' last event of their current run in August 2026 and everyone had a very fun and nostalgic time. Glad we made a somewhat spontaneous decision to make the trip. We got center seats in the very back and it was a great value being some of cheapest seats but still pricey. Could see the huge and high wraparound screen very well and didnt have to do too many stairs. To reduce the trip cost we drove to Las Vegas and used a free hotel certificate. After the event we walked to Venetian (very crowded but still moved along) and found a rideshare back from the Palazzo. A bit choatic right after the concert to find our driver but worked out. read more

Seeing anything in the sphere will knock your socks off. Came here for wizard of oz, which had its limitations due to the fact that they took the original movie and edited it to stretch and for time. It was still amazing. I can imagine what it will be like in shows that use the capabilities to their fullest. read more

Sphere - Surrender Dorothy - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

What an amazing venue!! If you are in Vegas you have to come to a concert or show. We came strictly for BSB and the concert did not disappoint. Probably the best concert I have been to ever at any venue I have been to. The concert and the venue itself is a show in itself. Highly recommend this venue A+ venue it is not too big so it is easy to find your way around plenty of restrooms and locations to purchase drinks. We took a Lyft in so the process was easy but I saw lots of parking plus if you are in Vegas you most likely walk in or Uber in. We walked out and everyone was still singing songs and dancing. read more

Way too real, you feel the wind and the sounds , def stay away if you have PTSD or wait in lobby till scene is over. Would love to see a concert here too!

Went here to see the wizard of Oz and the facility is amazing, the steep incline on the seats is a little bit disconcerting but even even though I'm have a bit of acrophobia your seated and the movie starts it's all great. The thing is it's beautiful inside & out but it has a couple of problems the aforementioned hike up the stairs to get your seats, the tickets are ridiculously expensive (course what isn't these days) and parking is like a stampede in slow motion. There are way too many cars and only a couple of exits. It's on the same scale as allegiant stadium only worse because people don't pay exorbitant prices to watch the raiders. read more

This place is absolutely destroyed me! I cannot watch a concert or a movie now unless it's here in this sphere. The visuals, the Productions, even just the entrance is amazing! I saw the Wizard of Oz here a few months ago and then got to see the Backstreet Boys this past weekend and it was just unbelievable! My mind is blown! If you have not gone here put this as your number one place to go to next time you are in Las vegas! read more

We came to the Sphere to see Wizard of Oz on their one year anniversary. We were super excited to see the inside of this iconic venue for the first time. We came in from the Venetian side, which is a bit of a walk for anyone with mobility issues. For us, it was no big deal. We actually enjoyed it because they have a little outdoor area right before you walk in where you can see the exterior of the Sphere and take photos. Security was quick and easy to get through. Once entering the establishment, you're greeted with this massive open space with vendors elevators to take you to the floor. We were a little caught offguard at how expensive the food/drinks were. We paid $60 for a small order of pretzels, a water, and a coke. Obviously, we were fine with it because it was more about the experience. We went up the escalator to our seats. On the climb up, it is very steep and I was literally gripping the handrail the entire time. The Wizard of Oz was cool, but definitely would prefer to see a concert with more theatrics. My husband was less than entertained as he ended up falling asleep Mid show. We will definitely come back because the venue itself was super sweet, just to something different! read more

Seeing No Doubt during their residency at the Sphere was hands down one of the most unforgettable concert experiences I've ever had. The venue itself is unlike anything else--it's impossible to fully appreciate it until you're sitting inside and the show begins. The massive immersive screen, crystal-clear sound, and incredible visuals make you feel like you're part of the performance rather than just watching it. No Doubt put on an amazing show, and the Sphere took the entire experience to another level. Every song felt larger than life thanks to the cutting-edge technology and breathtaking production. If you're planning a trip to Las Vegas, seeing a show at the Sphere should absolutely be on your bucket list. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the artist or just curious about the venue, it's an experience you'll be talking about long after it's over. read more

I went to Las Vegas last month to watch the Backstreet Boys at the Sphere, an important rite of passage in the life of a millennial mom. I wasn't especially into them in my youth, but I was born in 1986 and became familiar with many of their songs, largely against my will. My friends were bigger fans, Melissa K. in particular, who saw them in concert when we were in middle school. It was Mel who suggested this trip, and who did the hard work of procuring the tickets. On a hot July weekend, Mel, June K., and I left our children with their fathers and flew to Vegas for less than 48 hours. It was an amazing getaway, and this concert was its florid centerpiece. This was my first time in Vegas since the Sphere went up, and it was cool seeing it from afar, so unique and hyper-visible on the Strip. We had dinner at the Venetian before the show (highly recommend booking COTE as soon as you get your Sphere tickets), then found our way to the concert by following the flow of people wearing Millennium white. It felt a little like we were joining a cult, or offering our souls to a demon lord at Namsan Tower. There was direct entry into the Sphere from the Venetian, so we had to find our way out to take pictures of the outside. This was worth doing even in the sweltering heat. The building was striking up close, and we found a Sphere employee (poor guy was dressed in black) who kindly snapped a bunch of photos and accepted a cash tip. We were not the only people taking advantage of this unofficial service. We went inside and took care of our pre-concert business, buying merch and drinks. We found a merch stand with a short line and got some very nice T-shirts, pricey but surprisingly well made (my three-year-old Wade B. has asked me more than once why I'm always wearing this shirt). Then we hit a small, tucked away bar with almost no line at all and got double cocktails in souvenir cups. My XL whiskey ginger got me through a good chunk of the 90-minute concert. I was not tempted to go out for another. Our seats were in the 200s, with a great view of both the stage and the overall spectacle of the Sphere. I FaceTimed my kids before the show started, and they were fascinated by the placeholder graphics, which looked computery and 90s futuristic, with several images of fans (Wade's favorite). I said good night around the time they started asking to go to the Sphere, and we ended up talking a bit to some of the people around us. As far as I could tell, everyone in the house was born between 1980 and 1990. I didn't know what to expect from this show, so I was utterly delighted when it started. The opening sequence felt like Star Tours, with over-the-top graphics and a sense of actual motion, our seats vibrating, apparently equipped with haptic technology. I was distracted by the imagery and missed the moment the Backstreet Boys popped up onstage. One second, the stage was empty; the next, they were all standing there, very dramatically, and everyone was screaming. The show was remarkable. I can see the Sphere being a cold venue, with all its screens and special effects, but the live music and performance made it feel magical. At the same time, the spectacle added a great deal to the performance, immersing us all in a Backstreet wonderland, with 20,000 fellow travelers. Like I said, I was never a Backstreet Boys fan, so tell me why (TELL ME WHY-EE) I teared up when Nick Carter said they'd take us on a time machine and they all started singing "As Long as You Love Me" (a genuinely unhinged song with lyrics a woman might write to her death row inmate boyfriend). I guess it was because I was watching the Backstreet Boys with two of my best friends, grown women with kids and jobs who were my best friends when we were just kids, listening to the Backstreet Boys in the 90s. At one point, a Backstreet Boy asked if there were any moms in the house, and 80% of the audience cheered. They did a sappy song about moms, involving a slideshow of family pictures, moms and kids lighting up the walls and ceiling. Love to be emotionally manipulated by 50-year-old Boys in the Sphere. The show ended without an encore (every second of this show had to be timed to match the graphics), and we left the Sphere, buzzing with energy. We ended up at an afterparty at the Tao and didn't go to bed until 4 in the morning. The next day, we wore our shirts to the airport and saw several other people wearing theirs too. I have since watched the whole show on YouTube--my concession to my kids, who I will not be taking to the Sphere anytime soon--and the video doesn't come close to capturing the live experience (my husband asked why it was so cheesy, and I reminded him it was the Backstreet Boys). I have also grown tired of the set list, which my sons have demanded to listen to on repeat almost every day for the past month. But I will always remember my time in the Sphere, when I was both 40 and 15, watching those middle-aged teen idols dance and sing. read more

This was my second visit to the Sphere, and once again, I was completely blown away. Yes, it's expensive, but in my opinion, it's absolutely worth it! I've seen The Wizard of Oz countless times throughout my life, but I've never experienced it like this. The Sphere makes you feel like you're actually inside the movie. From the wind and the tornado to the falling snow and apples seemingly dropping from the sky, the immersive effects are incredible. It's truly an experience unlike anything I've ever seen before. If you're planning to go, I highly recommend sitting up high. We were in Section 406, right in the middle, and it was the perfect spot to take in the entire experience. One piece of advice: skip the popcorn. I know the souvenir box is tempting, but the popcorn was extremely stale. It tasted dry and almost plastic-like. My friend even took hers back for an exchange, but the replacement tasted exactly the same. Definitely not worth the price. Speaking of prices, be prepared--everything inside is expensive. I would suggest eating and drinking before you arrive. Despite the disappointing popcorn, the show itself was absolutely magical and something everyone should experience at least once. The Sphere takes a classic movie and turns it into an unforgettable adventure. read more

Definitely a unique experience in that it's 4D, meaning interactive wind and extras to enhance the show. We saw The Wizard Of Oz. Sat in section 307 about 5 rows back and the seats were great. Sections in the 400s are too high up. 300s are great. 200s are closer but the back portion has restricted view due to overhang. Overpriced small portion of sweet popcorn is available - such a small portion and coated income kind of sugary coating that they said was like kettle corn, but tasted more like Captain Crunch's crunch berries. Go with the plain popcorn if you need to buy some. read more

We have seen 4 concerts and a movie inside the Sphere. The venue is well thought out and relatively easy to access, especially if you stay at the Venetian or nearby hotels/casinos. The view from inside is unique and definitely adds to the experience. We have had seats on every section and I think I have liked the lower 200 level the best so far. The sound is incredible. I really like watching the fun graphics on the screen as well as the band performing. The drinks are well made and the cost is what you would expect at this type of venue. The security is no joke. Small and clear bags preferred but you will still go through a search and wanding. read more

What an experience!! We loved all the special effects. I sat in the in section 405 row 14 seat 31. It's got a good view on the stage. You're high enough up that you aren't looking up to see the movie. I might suggest getting a little lower if you want to catch an apple. I heard they were selling apples in the gift shop after the show, but I didn't see any so that practice may have stopped or it was just a rumor. Either way I wasn't blessed with an apple. The hike to our seats was overwhelming. The sphere is so tall and steep. We took the escalator and got off on the 4th floor and walked up. We had the choice of walking up or down as our seats were in the middle of the sections. We voted it would be easier to walk up then down. We held on to the rail the whole climb. Most people were having difficulty on the walk, especially the women in heels with a cane. I'm surprise she made it without a spill. People were carrying food and drinks and it was hard to watch them after we got settled. I'm surprise they made it without a spill or falling. If you are afraid of heights this might not be your thing. It even made me a little queasy. Or you may sit towards the front so you aren't looking down and seeing the whole screen. Our seats were on the isle which was good. No climbing over anyone which would have been difficult. Especially since the rows are so long with not may isles. They should have put in more isles so you didn't have to climb over so many people. There were late comers too after the movie started. The seats were comfortable for the 75 minute movie. The seats don't recline, but they do rumble during different scenes. The concessions were decent. They had a full bar from what I could see. They also had your standard theater fair. Such as popcorn, some in Wizard of Qz boxes I believe for $12, candy of all kinds, chips, ect. They also had some hot foods such as hot dogs and chicken nuggets, don't quote me as I was just trying to observe from our seats. Lots of people were eating and drinking. More drinking than eating. With all the food being served and the possibility of spills I didn't find the floor sticky. The bathrooms were plentiful and clean. Even right after the show on the 5th floor there was not waiting. They were trying to push everyone to use the facilities on the 2nd level, but I ducked in and there wasn't an issue. There are several doors to enter in the theater. If you walk in soon as you get off your LYFT that door doesn't have the shoes, you need to walk all the way around and then you can get your shot. I almost walked in the wrong door and missed my selfie moment. They even have stickers on the ground telling where you should stand for the best selfie. After you take your if you a re general admission you need to walk upstairs to the entrance. Security was tight. You walk though a metal detector and the discriminate against large bags. And if you beep or are closed they pat you down. The line was quick to get in. They had multiple metal detectors and doors open. We arrived around 7pm for the 8pm show. We wanted to make sure we got all of our pictures before they opened the doors a at 730m. I believe they actually opened their doors earlier. The tornado scene was exciting. They had tissue paper leaves flying around as part of the effect. Those I was able to collect a bunch of. A fun souvenir. I would have rather have the apple, but beggars can't be choosers. If you aren't familiar with the movie and you haven't seen wicked it's kind of hard to follow as they cut so many scenes out. I suggest you watch the original movie before going to the Sphere. The movie is actually 120 minuets and they trimmed out 25 minutes of it. You may not think that's a lot, but it does make it a bit confusing. I am thankful that I saw both Wicked films and it really ties everting together. The had some fabulous merchandise and if money were no object to me I would have scooped more up. I settled for the white socks with the characters on it and the red poppies i really wanted the umbrella, but that was $75. And the fleeces coat I liked was $199 They closed the raised walkway from the Venetian, but it's still walkable from the strip. We took LYFT there because we were coming from the Rio and then we walked to the strip afterwards to hang out and then catch a LYFT back from a less busy spot. Overall it was a good experience. My husband came out confused due to the move was cut short and he hadn't seen wicket. We enjoyed the special effects. read more

Is it Sphere, or The Sphere? While the official name may be Sphere, many will argue it's The Sphere, as the website domain implies. Whatever you call it, it's hands down the best music venue on earth. Conveniently accessible through the Venetian, once you've seen a show at the Sphere, you're forever changed, and you will no longer enjoy concerts the same way. Being literally surrounded by sound, vibration, and visuals provides a uniquely immersive experience that cannot be matched. You feel the music through the seats, the energy, the lights and colors. But watch out for limited view seats in the 100s. Great for folks who want to enjoy the show without too much stimulation, not great if you want to see everything. Drinks and food items can be pricey but that's the reality of arenas. At least you can get souvenir cups with special cocktails! Come prepared with the expectation of spending money if you plan on getting any refreshments. Nothing beats a show at the Sphere! Buy the tickets. You won't regret it. read more

I've been to the Sphere several times for concerts, and every visit has been incredible. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about this experience. The movie itself felt like an old film with a few added effects like wind, smoke, bubbles, falling leaves, and a few other small touches. For almost $200 per ticket, I expected something much more impressive and immersive. The biggest disappointment was the apples. During one scene, they were dropped from small openings in the ceiling, but only above certain sections of the audience. Our section, along with many others, didn't have any openings at all, so we never even had a chance to get one. Meanwhile, some families walked away with one apple per person. I don't think that's a good concept. If it's supposed to be part of the experience, everyone should have the same opportunity to receive one. The price for a regular movie ticket costs around $20. Here we paid almost $200 per person, and I honestly don't think what we received justified that price I would definitely come back to the Sphere for another concert, but I wouldn't recommend spending the money on this movie. For me, it felt like a waste of both time and money. read more

Our first time at the Sphere and see the Wizard of Oz here. We went for a 2 pm Tuesday afternoon viewing. The seats are purposely under sold. Only half the seating area is used. When arriving we were given ADA assistance. This included someone to help with one of their wheelchairs. We were escorted in, taken upstairs to a place where we could exchange our tickets for a platform area that was better suitable for our needs. After that we were shown the perfect spots for photos and get our concessions. We were taken to our seats and as soon as the show was over we were taken to the after show. It felt like a private tour. We appreciate the personal touch this included. read more

I loved the venue and would definitely be back for other experiences. Enjoyed No Doubt with great sound and good view of the stage. However; it's definitely better to enjoy the upper seating areas to see the full sphere area and get the full effect of the arena. Good food and drink offerings throughout the arena and plenty of bathrooms, although women's gets a long line still and why does it show free feminine products if there are none to offer??? *plenty of time and space to restock later in the concert but they choose not to. Hoping to catch a good show in the future and feel a little more prepared and I hope the venue is too. read more

$300 just to see the Wizard of Oz movie?! Expected more special effects, comfort and extras for that price. The sound was also so loud that I needed to use noise canceling earbud to feel comfortable. Yes, it's exciting to see the huge projection range on the inside of the sphere, which at times makes you feel like you're immersed in the movie, tagging along with Dorothy and Co on their journey. The crowd was hyped, with many folks dressing as movie characters - that part was adorable, but not a credit to the venue itself. What I really couldn't get past was how uncomfortable the seating is. I'm not tall, but my legs felt just as cramped as on an airplane (actually, even more so), and I saw some larger audience members unable to fit in the confines of the seat. You don't expect this from a "movie theater" and it made it apparent that this venue is trying to pack as many people in as possible to max profits at the expense of patron comfort. read more

I've been to the Sphere twice now, once for The Wizard of Oz and once for the No Doubt concert, and both experiences were incredible. After visiting the Sphere, it's honestly hard to imagine going back to a regular concert or movie venue. Everything about this place feels next-level. I don't think there's a bad seat in the entire venue. The screen quality is crystal clear, the visuals are breathtaking, and the sound is unlike anything I've ever experienced. What really sets the Sphere apart is the immersive 4D technology. During The Wizard of Oz, the seats vibrated during certain scenes, and foam apples were dropped into parts of the audience. At the No Doubt concert, foam oranges rained down from the ceiling, adding another fun and unexpected element to the show. Getting in and out is easy, whether you're walking across the bridge from the Palazzo or using the rideshare/drop-off area. The entire experience feels well organized from start to finish. If you're visiting Las Vegas, I highly recommend experiencing the Sphere at least once. It's one of the most impressive entertainment venues I've ever been to and absolutely lives up to the hype. read more

For the professional conference that I attended part of the program was the last night in Las Vegas party that they gave. This party consisted of a live concert by DJ Idris Elba (our Brand Ambassador and renowned DJ and Actor) and the most awesome Backstreet Boys! Let me tell you that the moment you come into the sphere it is absolutely amazing. There are LED lights everywhere to highlight any theme that someone wants to present. They're beautiful escalators led lights they're wonderful and beverage concessions everything is so well lit up and beautiful when you get into The Sphere as an attendee. Fast-forward to the concert OMG! The fiber optics and LED display inside of this concert. Venue is AMAZING!! the seats vibrate and you also get a wonderful sound experience as if you are in an actual movie or some type of a Hollywood production. The performers and the graphics everything was amazing. The music was fantastic. I absolutely and wholeheartedly recommend coming here for any type of performance whether it be a concert or a movie or a DJ or anything. This place is absolutely amazing. Thank you ServiceNow for my first experience at The Sphere, it was TOTALLY AWESOME! read more

Going to the Sphere to see The Wizard of Oz was honestly one of the highlights of my trip to Las Vegas. The moment I walked up to the Sphere, I literally got chills. Pictures and videos don't do it justice--it's every bit as impressive in person as people say it is. I honestly need to know who came up with this idea because it's impossible to take your eyes off of it. From the moment I arrived, the staff was wonderful. Everyone--from the security team outside to the employees helping guests find their seats--was welcoming, friendly, and, most importantly, patient. I arrived pretty close to showtime, and since the theater was already dark, I had a little trouble finding my seat. No one made me feel rushed or like I was inconveniencing them. They were incredibly kind and helpful. As for the show itself... it was absolutely worth traveling to Las Vegas for. First, The Wizard of Oz has always been one of my favorite movies, so getting to experience it in this format was incredibly special. But beyond that, the visual effects were unbelievable. The immersive experience is unlike anything I've ever seen before. One thing that really surprised me was that I don't think there's a bad seat in the house. No matter where you're sitting, you're going to have an incredible view because the entire venue is designed so thoughtfully. I also appreciated that the merchandise was reasonably priced. I picked up a Wizard of Oz T-shirt for $20 and one of the themed apples for $10, which I thought was a great value for a venue like this. Another detail I noticed--and really appreciated--was how organized everything was after the show. They have clearly designated areas for taxis and rideshare pickups, which made leaving the venue incredibly easy. As someone visiting Las Vegas for the first time, that level of organization made a huge difference. Instead of wondering where to stand or trying to figure out where my ride was, everything was clearly directed and easy to navigate. This wasn't just a show--it was an experience. Whether you're seeing The Wizard of Oz or something completely different, I would absolutely recommend making the Sphere part of your Las Vegas trip. I know I'll be back. read more

Life changing!!!! Every concert should be in the sphere. I would never have even imagined the experience before seeing it. We went to the No Doubt concert and could not believe how great the interactive 360 screen was with the live performance. I had to remember to look at the band live because there was so much going on above me. The food was also great. We got the pork belly bahn mi and it was delicious. We also saw a bunch of other items that all sounded great and were themed to the band. read more

The Sphere experience for the Wizard of Oz was bittersweet breathtaking. We took the kiddos to have a chance of a lifetime event on their belts. It is a pricey encounter. Everything has a price, but the entertainment was unique. However, they don't tell you on Ticketmaster that the separate bag costs at the security check is mandatory. Medium to large bags and purses are to be left in a locker for yes, another cost. Drinks, boxed popcorn, and other refreshments are offered with an additional fee. You aren't guaranteed to catch a falling apple or leaf from the experience. So therefore that is another purchase. They have WoO merch vendors where you can purchase an apple and more souvenirs if you choose. It is a bittersweet experience because in my opinion, it is unique.... and everything you do in Las Vegas will have a price. If you can enjoy some of the finer things in life, do so. It will be worth the sentimental value. Remember: if security tells you, your bag/purse needs to be in a locker, make sure your cell phone, money, and valuables are on your person. That locker starts at 10 dollars plus tax. Try to find a diamond in the rough with this visit. read more

This was it, best ever.. I had visited SPHERE in the past, but wanted to go back for a concert and Backstreet Boys was amazing. Im beyond grateful I was able to make it & enjoy their music, performance, really everything was over the top! Backstreet Boys were remarkable, but truly Sphere made the experience even more memorable. A stadium, arena, any other type venue would have been inferior in quality... I can't stress enough what an amazing place for concerts SPHERE is. I'll wrap up stating: My life has been ruined, from now on I only want to go to shows at Sphere. This was the ultimate Millenial night, i loved that everyone dressed in white (the concert theme) and showed up ready to sing non stop. Can't wait to visit again! read more

I have to update my review because I attended the Backstreet Boys concert and it was AMAZING!! I don't know if any other concert will be able to live up to the experience.

Came to see BSB and I feel like the Sphere definitely enhanced the experience. I don't believe a BSB concert would be as good at any other venue. Security was fine and all the workers were friendly to our group. No issues with our purses. I think they only look out for larger bags. The only inconvenience is the rideshare situation. Luckily, we left the concert 10-15mins before ending. All the rides are just stopped in all the lanes so your driver is SOL if they're on their way because they will not be able to drive through. We walked to our driver and with some waiting and maneuvering we were on our way. read more

Overall, the experience was cool, but in my opinion, it wasn't anything particularly spectacular or out of the ordinary. I watched The Wizard of Oz, and since we bought our tickets late, they ended up costing around $200 per person. For a movie that was only about 1 hour and 10 minutes long, it felt a bit pricey. There were definitely some impressive moments, such as the tornado effects, apples falling from above, and the flying monkeys, which really showcased what the Sphere can do. Other than those scenes, though, I often felt like I was simply watching a movie on a very large screen. I know the Sphere hosts some incredible concerts and live events, so I'd definitely consider coming back for one of those. However, for a movie experience alone, I'd probably pass next time. read more

If you haven't been! It's definitely a must! The technology and facility is really cool but a lot of the people that work at the sphere are rude. You're paying $400 for a ticket and then have to deal with people that hate working there is very disheartening. They keep the facility and restrooms clean but the people be giving their attitude and are super disrespectful. We're already lost and don't know where to go and the people directing traffic yell and curse at you. Bananas! read more

Sphere - Rude attendant. Was like lady....wtf am I stuttering???? Is that really necessary??? - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

This place is amazing and lives up to all of its hype. It is a wonderful addition to the Vegas skyline and is just a couple of blocks off the strip. They have commercial parking lots and a VIP parking lot near the venue. The VIP lot is very pricey. It is recommended to walk or use a rideshare here. I love the venue's exterior show. It has a bunch of advertisements, Wizard of Oz scenes, and a happy face. Late at night/early morning, the venue displays the moon and planets. The venue opened in September 2023 at a cost of $2.3 billion. It is directly connected to the Venetian by a tunnel. The venue is home to a Wizard of Oz 4D experience and hosts concerts, fights, and other special events. I came here for the Wizard of Oz experience. I sat in the last row of Section 307, and it was a really good seat. I felt the hurricane's wind and also got 2 apples. The venue has a few snack bars that sell light food, popcorn, snacks, candy, drinks, and adult beverages. Their prices are reasonable for an event venue. They also had two souvenir shops. Those spots are pricey. The venue is full of photo ops and photo stations where you can take a picture and email it to yourself. The venue was very, very clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The show itself was amazing. The movie was remastered, and the effects were first-class. They actually have flying monkeys during the flying monkey scene; they have real fire during the scene with the Wizard hologram; of course, real apples fall from the ceiling during the apple tree scene with Dorothy; and the best scene of all is the hurricane scene. You actually feel that you are there. After the show, they have a mini-show featuring the Wizard hologram and the man behind the curtain. It is worth staying for and actually makes it hard to leave. This is a must-see venue, even if you only watch the exterior show. With so many things to do in Vegas, this attraction/venue should be at the top of the list. read more

Last minute No Doubt concert. Amazing performance and entertainment from No Doubt. Midori sour's were not strong at all. Mimosa was good and tasty. Surf n turf fries were ok. Shrimp was good but steak was cut really small. Oc smash burger was good. The Sphere is an amazing venue. Love the screen. This is my second concert here and I love it. Venue is clean and organized. Pre-pay for parking and park right outside the Sphere. It's easy to get out and out of the strip. Thanks No Doubt and the Sphere! read more

My sister was visiting and wanted to go to the Wizard of Oz at the sphere. I live locally and have heard from several people that it was really good. I have to say it was much better than I even expected! We parked over at the Palms and then took a rideshare to the sphere and back. I highly recommend getting there by rideshare as the parking seem to be quite a cluster. We sat in section 205 seats one and two on the aisle. That was plenty central without paying extra for the VIP seats that are in the next section over. Lots of the special goodies like the apples do fall right in those lower sections. I am prone to motion sickness, so was a bit wary, but from that lower section it was fine. The central shot of the screen is always directly in front of you. You can look side to side and up, but having the central thing to focus on made it OK. The seats do shake and vibrate during certain scenes. It made the tornado sequence very exciting. My Apple Watch reminded me that I was in a high decibel location during that sequence, but that was fine for the time it lasted. I would recommend seeing this if you get the opportunity. read more

Sphere - View from section 205 seats 1 and 2 - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Oh my God, we're back again! As my wife and I touched down in Las Vegas, our mission was clear: have the time of our lives and spend an evening acting like millennial teenagers while singing every word to the Backstreet Boys. Mission accomplished. The Backstreet Boys were fantastic. Their vocals were strong, the choreography was sharp, and the energy throughout the performance was infectious. Whether you're a lifelong fan or simply appreciate a great live show, they absolutely delivered. Then there's the Sphere. Pictures and videos do not prepare you for the experience. The sheer scale of the screen is difficult to comprehend until you're sitting inside it. The visuals, sound, and environmental effects combine to create the most immersive concert experience I have ever been part of. At times, the sensory overload is almost overwhelming--but in the best possible way. You aren't simply watching a concert. You're experiencing it. The Backstreet Boys provided the soundtrack, but the Sphere elevated the entire evening into something unforgettable. An incredible show, an incredible venue, and a memory that my wife and I will be talking about for years to come. read more

Vegas: Day 1 No Doubt at the Sphere! I am usually not the person who records concerts. Much like fireworks, I've always felt they're one of those "you had to be there" experiences. But the Sphere completely changed that for me. This was my first concert at the Sphere, and it was unlike anything I've ever experienced. The visuals, the sound, the immersion--it felt like being transported into another world. I found myself recording parts of it simply because it was too incredible not to capture. And No Doubt absolutely crushed it. Gwen Stefani owned that stage from the moment she stepped out. Her energy was nonstop, her voice sounded amazing, and she somehow looks just as incredible in person as she does on TV. Seriously... #NoFilter. I can honestly say I'm forever spoiled now. After experiencing a concert at the Sphere, I don't know how I'm supposed to go back to a regular venue again. What an unforgettable way to kick off our Vegas wedding weekend. #NoDoubt #SphereVegas #GwenStefani #VegasWeddingWeekend #LasVegas #ConcertGoals #ForeverSpoiled read more

I remember when Sphere was being built and I couldn't wait to visit. Finally, I did!! And wow, coolest experience! Enjoyed The Wizard of Oz with my drink. The seats move; wind blows on you and plush apples fall from the ceiling. I didn't get to catch an apple but the ppl next to me caught a few and gave me one. Easy going in but def a hassle catching an uber leaving. I would love to come back for a concert! read more
