00:00- [Jared] The Sphere is
the newest attraction
00:02in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:04In this video we'll go on the inside,
00:06see the different levels,
learn about the building
00:09and the incredible
technology on the inside.
00:12This building is redefining
entertainment as we know it.
00:15(smooth ambient music)
00:23The Sphere is an entertainment venue
00:24that was completed in September of 2023.
00:29It has an incredible
light show on the outside.
00:33There's no limit to what
this building can display.
00:37The inside contains seats
for about 18,000 people,
00:41and it has the biggest wraparound
00:43LED screen in the entire world.
00:46here's the size of the
largest IMAX theater screen.
00:48It's about 18 times smaller.
00:51The official name of the
building is the Sphere,
00:54but it's also referred to
as the Las Vegas Sphere
00:58But if you just say Sphere,
01:00most people will know
what you're talking about.
01:02It's almost like they've redefined
the meaning of this word.
01:07It took five years to build
01:09and it cost 2.3 billion US dollars.
01:12It's now owned by Sphere
Entertainment Company.
01:16The building stands 112 meters high.
01:20here's the Statue of Liberty
and the Eiffel Tower.
01:25Alright, geography time.
01:27This is the United States.
01:29The state of Nevada is here,
01:30and this is the city of Las Vegas.
01:34The popular place to be
is commonly referred to
01:36as the Las Vegas Strip or just the Strip.
01:39It's a place known for as
extravagant resorts, casinos,
01:42entertainment, and nightlife.
01:45It's always been known
for its bright lights,
01:47but just recently it got
a whole lot brighter.
01:54The outside of the Sphere
is called the Exosphere.
01:57This is the part that has the giant screen
01:59that wraps around the entire building.
02:03From far away, it looks like
one big continuous screen,
02:06but it's actually made
up of 1.2 million lights.
02:10As you get closer, you start
to see what's going on.
02:14Each of these lights
are made of LED modules,
02:17but they're nicknamed Hockey Pucks
02:19because of their size and shape.
02:21They're about as big as
the palm of your hand.
02:23Each module has 48 light emitting diodes
02:26or LEDs capable of showing any color.
02:35If you're walking by the Sphere,
02:36you can actually see
these lights up close.
02:39There's no fence and they
let you walk right up to it.
02:43For some people, seeing
that giant emoji face
02:46on the Las Vegas skyline
is a bit much, but hey,
02:49there's always surprises
when you're in Vegas.
02:52If you want to visit the Sphere,
02:54you've got a few different options.
02:55You can go see a concert.
02:58these are the bands currently
playing at the Sphere.
03:01Or you could go see "Postcard From Earth."
03:04This is an hour long
movie specifically filmed
03:06to show inside the Sphere.
03:08You want to get to your show early
03:10because there's a lot to
see inside before the show.
03:13There is some parking
right next to the Sphere,
03:15but you can also use some
03:17of the parking garages
nearby like this one.
03:20You can also take the monorail,
03:22which can help you get
within walking distance.
03:25If you're coming from the Venetian,
03:27that's this hotel right here,
03:29you'll have direct access into the Sphere.
03:31The pedestrian bridge will
take you straight there
03:33without needing to go outside.
03:37Right up next to the Sphere,
there are three entrances,
03:40the west entry, east
entry, and plaza entry.
03:46Most people will use the
plaza entry to get inside.
03:48They'll confirm your
tickets, do a security check,
03:51and you'll be on your way.
03:54There are nine floors
inside of the Sphere,
03:56but most visitors will only
be concerned with these seven.
04:00The other two floors are likely a basement
04:02and a sky deck lounge,
04:04but there's not much public
information on these.
04:07We came in through the event level
04:09and next we'll explore the main level.
04:13There's actually a lot to see here.
04:15This area in the middle
is called the Atrium.
04:19When you're walking through it,
04:19it may feel a little bit
like a science fiction movie.
04:26One of the highlights of your visit
04:28will be saying hello to Aura the Robot,
04:30considered to be the world's
most advanced humanoid robot.
04:33She uses AI to interact
with those around her
04:36and have real time conversations.
04:38There are five of these robots
around the atrium floor.
04:42You'll notice there are four rings
04:44in the middle of the floor.
04:46This is to demonstrate the speakers
04:48which are behind Aura the Robot.
04:50Inside each one of these circles,
04:52you'll hear different sounds.
04:55As soon as you step outside of the circle,
04:57you can no longer hear it.
05:00(gentle ambient music)
05:05Later in the video, we'll
learn more about the speakers.
05:10Up above is a large holographic display.
05:13It's made of 420 individual
SmartV HYPERVSN displays.
05:17These are kind of like
fans that spin really fast.
05:21There are four LED strips
05:22that spin faster than the eye can see.
05:25Then images can be displayed,
which look, well, holographic.
05:29It's like something
straight out of Star Trek.
05:31This technology isn't just being used
05:33in the Las Vegas Sphere.
05:34Many other places around the
world are using it as well.
05:38Escalators can take you
up to the next floor
05:40so you can find your seats.
05:43Many of the floors have
places to get food and drink,
05:46and there's also plenty
of restrooms as well.
05:50There are also elevators
05:52and stairways, which
can be used if needed.
05:56To find the way to your show,
05:57you'll need to use the
entrance closest to your seat.
06:03Let's look at the seats.
06:05There are four sections,
100, 200, 300 and 400.
06:11The floor area is usually
standing room only.
06:14You can get to here
through the event level.
06:18For 100 seating, you
enter from the main level.
06:21For the 200 seating you can
enter from the terrace level,
06:24and then the 300 seating
from the lower gallery level.
06:29The 400 seating you can enter from both
06:31the lower gallery level and
the upper gallery level.
06:34Some people have mentioned
06:35that the upper level seats
are actually quite steep.
06:39If you look closely, you'll
notice two areas of seating
06:42that look a little bit different.
06:43These are the private suites.
06:46There's the lower level suites
06:48and the upper level suites
making a total of 23.
06:51It's a way to reserve individual rooms
06:53for a bit more of a private experience.
06:57The screen wraps around
the entire back wall,
07:00giving each viewer a completely
immersive experience.
07:03It's the biggest theater
screen ever built.
07:07The movies must be shot
on a special camera
07:11This shoots footage at
a much higher resolution
07:13than a regular movie camera.
07:15A regular movie camera only sees
07:18pretty much what's right in front of it,
07:19but the Big Sky camera has
a much wider field of view
07:23to match up to the screen
that it will be shown on.
07:26While filming, they have
to angle the camera up
07:29so that the action happens
07:30towards the bottom part of the screen.
07:33Inside the Sphere, the
bottom part of the screen
07:35is most visible to the audience.
07:37This is where their focus will be.
07:39Right now, there's only one movie
07:41that's been made for the
screen, "Postcard From Earth,"
07:44The movie we talked about earlier.
07:46This is currently showing at the Sphere.
07:50There are 160,000 speakers
07:53that are directly behind the screen.
07:56Here's a closeup look at what
these speakers look like.
07:59They are a lot more advanced
than regular speakers.
08:02These are the same speakers
that were mentioned
08:04earlier in the video
behind Aura the Robot.
08:07They use something called
beamforming technology.
08:10This can direct sound to
specific areas in the audience.
08:14With typical speakers, sound
disperses and spreads out
08:17so everybody in the room
hears the same thing.
08:20However, with beamforming technology,
08:22it's possible to focus these sound waves
08:24in a specific direction.
08:26This technology is so precise
08:27that it can do things like
personalize the language
08:30of different parts of the audience.
08:32So for example, these seats
might have the audio in English,
08:35and these seats might have it in Spanish,
08:36these seats in French.
08:39It is said that this is headset
sound without the headset.
08:42It's absolutely incredible.
08:45Many of the seats have something
called haptic technology,
08:49which means they will vibrate
along with the show or movie.
08:52Combine this with other
simulations such as as fog,
08:55scent, and wind, and this creates
08:57a completely immersive experience,
09:00making you forget that
you're in a theater.
09:02The Las Vegas Sphere is
the first of its kind,
09:05but it might not be the only one.
09:07There are rumors that more
Spheres might be built,
09:09but at this point, nothing
is set in stone yet.
09:12But is it worth all that effort?
09:14Is it really as good as they say?
09:16Don't take my word for it.
09:18You'll have to go see
the Sphere for yourself.

I'll see you next time.
