There’s a new, 18,000-seat entertainment venue in the works near the Las Vegas Strip, the MSG Sphere arena, and it’s pretty weird.<\/p>\n

The new venue is a partnership between Madison Square Garden Co. and Las Vegas Sands Corp., the company that owns Venetian and Palazzo.<\/p>\n

\"MSG
Besides concerts, the MSG Sphere will host Carousel. Oh, just watch “Logan’s Run” again.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The arena project was announced back in May 2016<\/a>, but is only now picking up steam.<\/p>\n

According to a story in USA Today<\/a>, the MSG Sphere will boast some impressive audio technology developed by a German company, Holoplot. The technology is called “beamforming audio,” which sends sound via witchcraft rather than through speakers.<\/p>\n

Here’s another look at Sphere.<\/p>\n

\"MSG
Get used to your mouth being agape, it’s Las Vegas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Sphere’s exterior is a dome with 190,000 feet of LED lighting, which translates into about 36 miles of lights.<\/p>\n

Inside the dome, guests will enjoy what amounts to a 360-degree IMAX experience, with about 180,000-square-feet (four acres) of high resolution video across the dome’s roof.<\/p>\n

Translation: Holy crap.<\/p>\n

\"MSG
Finally, a Las Vegas venue that can legitimately use the word “immersive.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the best things about the MSG Sphere is its developers promise little to no sports will be hosted in the venue. Although, fights are a possibility. Hey, nobody’s perfect.<\/p>\n

The unfortunately-named MSG Sphere arena (some people are intolerant, you know) will be located on Sands Ave., between Manhattan St. and Koval Lane.<\/p>\n

You have no idea where that is, so here’s a photo we took. Let’s just say we used a very tall monopod and leave it at that.<\/p>\n

\"Sands
The future home of some awesome.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The MSG Sphere breaks ground in 2018 and the new arena is expected to open in 2020.<\/p>\n

We can’t wait.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
