The Las Vegas Sphere opened in September 2023 and quickly became a popular attraction. This massive dome features a giant concave screen covering 15,000 square meters inside. Visitors watch concerts and shows with stunning visual effects that surround them.
Danielle Renee attended a Backstreet Boys concert there and was amazed. The screen displayed stars, spaceships, and other graphics that made the experience feel incredibly immersive. She said nothing compared to this show.
The Sphere cost $2.3 billion to build, and many people questioned whether it could make money. After struggling initially, it finally became profitable in 2025. Now, similar venues are opening in other cities. Cosm, a rival company, is creating dome-like facilities across the United States.
However, not everyone is convinced. Some experts think dome entertainment might work only in specific places like Las Vegas. Others prefer traditional movies and don't need extra visual effects to enjoy themselves.
