This has been in the news a lot lately as it is now live and hosting its first events.
It's a part of The Venetian complex on The Strip and it has an 18,000+ theater-style seating capacity, but notably the entire sphere exterior is covered in LED lights that can be programmed to display literally anything.
Here's a street level view as it was lit up for the opening of the NBA Summer League
Huge big name acts will be headed here for decades to come. It's especially significant with the setup where all seats face the stage, so it can book more than a similar capacity arena where several thousand seats are inevitably blocked off as they are behind the elaborate touring concert stage setups.
Build cost was USD $2.3 billion.
