The Sphere at The Venetian Resort is a spherical music and entertainment arena in Paradise, Nevada, near the Las Vegas Strip and east of the Venetian resort. The project was announced by the Madison Square Garden Company in 2018, and construction was underway the following year. The 18,600-seat auditorium was initially scheduled to open in 2021, but construction was suspended in April 2020 due to a disruption in the project's supply chain, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Construction resumed later that year.

The Sphere is the world's largest spherical structure, measuring 366 feet tall and 516 feet wide. Its bowl-shaped theater reportedly contains the world's highest-resolution wraparound LED screen, measuring 160 feet high and 1,378 feet wide. The screen is capable of displaying images with a resolution of 16K, which is four times the resolution of 8K.

The Sphere is designed to be an immersive entertainment experience. The sound system is designed to provide crystal-clear audio throughout the venue, and the LED screen can be used to create a variety of visual effects. The Sphere is also equipped with a state-of-the-art lighting system that can be programmed to create different moods and atmospheres.

The Sphere is scheduled to open on September 29, 2023, with U2 as its first performer in a residency titled U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere. It will mark the group's first live show since 2019. MSG plans on hosting four to six residencies each year at the Sphere. The company is also scheduled to debut a show, Postcards from Earth, at the Sphere in October 2023. The venue will employ up to 3,000 people.

The Sphere is a significant addition to the Las Vegas entertainment scene. It is the first venue of its kind in the world, and it is sure to attract a wide range of performers and audiences. The Sphere is poised to become a major destination for live entertainment in Las Vegas and become a popular destination for visitors from all over the world.
