With the launch of the new MSG Sphere dome in Las Vegas last month, the city is now home to perhaps the most technically immersive live entertainment experience in the world. The dome-shaped theater features a giant 360-degree wraparound video display that wraps up, over, and around the audience, creating a fully-immersive visual environment for audiences seated in the 17,600 seat theater. The dome itself measures 516 feet wide and stands 366 feet tall with 580,000 square feet total. The 160,000 square foot LED display, featuring 16Kx16K resolution, with the ability to display 256 colors on skyline, is billed as the highest resolution LED screen in the world.
When MSG Entertainment, which built the $2 billion+ facility wanted to launch the Sphere with great fanfare, it turned to iconic band U2, which signed on to be the “house band” through the end of the year.
