The Las Vegas skyline is changing once again, and if you’ve been to the city lately, you might have noticed that they’re building a giant orb-like structure. What is it? “It certainly has the potential to be one of the most photographed buildings on the planet,” said Lucas Watson, president of MSG Entertainment. It’s called the MSG Sphere, and it’s slated to be a new high-tech entertainment venue. “We hope we’ll redefine what it means to do live entertainment,” said Watson. The structure is located behind the Venetian on the strip, and it’s being built by the same folks that own Madison Square Garden in New York City. Recently, they hit a new milestone: the primary steel structural work is now complete. It’s massive – over 500 feet wide and 300 feet tall, making it the world’s tallest spherical structure. The exterior is going to be wrapped in one giant screen that you can see from space. They’ll even have a neat camera trick that will make it seem like you can “see through” the structure to the other side. Inside, you’re surrounded by 775 tons of steel. It will hold a giant 16k LED screen that starts from behind your seat and goes from side to side. The idea is that you’re completely immersed in the media playing on it. The canvas is so unique that MSG built a new studio in Burbank to create new forms of content for the screen.
