The company claims it is the largest LED screen on the planet, in addition to being the largest spherical structure on Earth.

Las Vegas' MSG $2.3 billion Sphere has captivated residents and tourists alike with its dazzling displays. Billed as the world's largest video screen, the Sphere illuminates the city with a mesmerizing dome.

The Sphere's centerpiece is its fully programmable LED screen, known as the Exosphere, which spans an impressive 580,000 square feet. This cutting-edge screen serves as the backdrop for a concert venue capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people.

To celebrate the Fourth of July, the Exosphere underwent pre-launch testing, and the results were truly spectacular. The night sky was brought to life with a captivating show that began with a welcoming message, "Hello world," followed by a magnificent display of fireworks and animated stars and stripes. The screen transformed into a moonlit sky, and even showcased an imposing Halloween pumpkin. The videos captured the screen's immense size, dwarfing passing cars on a nearby road.

The MSG Sphere has undoubtedly become a must-see attraction in Las Vegas, leaving both residents and tourists in awe of its technological marvels and immersive experiences.

The long-awaited Sphere made its debut in Las Vegas on Independence Day, and locals are still trying to figure out how to feel about the $2.3billion light-up ball.

The Sphere, brought into existence by Sphere Entertainment Co., is 366 feet tall, 516 across and features 580,000 square feet of fully-programmable LED lighting. The structure also serves as a nearly 20,000-seat arena.
