The Sphere is a brand new, $2.3 billion, spherical entertainment venue in Las Vegas that hosts shows, concerts and other events. 

The 580,000 square foot exterior is coated in 1.2 million fully-programmable LED pucks spaced eight inches apart. Each of the pucks contains 48 individual LED diodes, with each diode capable of displaying 256 million different colors that can create stunning, dynamic 360-degree image displays. The inside is just as impressive however, and boasts the world's largest high-resolution LED screen which wraps up, over, and around the audience to create a fully immersive visual environment. It spans 160,000 sq. ft and boasts a resolution of 16K x 16K.
