We know that in the United States you like to do things in a big way, and the more, the better. For this reason, the mythical city of Las Vegas has inaugurated a new and colossal building in the shape of a giant sphere and totally technological, which has gone viral for obvious reasons.
Little by little we see how we adapt technological advances in all aspects of our lives, including the construction and structures of our houses, but what they have done in Las Vegas has taken this to a much higher level.
Firstly, because this structure designed for holding events, be they sporting, musical or whatever you can think of, is the largest sphere in the world open to the public, although he has told the truth It won’t open until September of this year.
This structure has been designed by the Populus architecture studio, known for designing various sports stadiums such as the legendary Wembley in England or SoccerCity in South Africa, where Spain won the World Cup final in 2010.
The sphere measures a total of 34 meters high and 157 meters wide, but without a doubt the most impressive thing about it is not its size, but rather is completely covered with LED screens (1.2 million units) with 16K resolution, capable of displaying large-scale dynamic images.

The imaging possibilities are endless., and it doesn’t matter what time of day you pass by, the chances are that you will fall in love. Although the exterior is only a part of this spectacular structure since it is designed to host all kinds of events, so it has capacity for 23,000 peoplewith 18,000 seats and another 5,000 standing.
And as the CEOs of MSG, one of the companies that own this project, explained in an interview with The Rolling Stone, the goal is create a “glasses-free” virtual reality experience thanks to the fact that (unsurprisingly) the interior has a special projector and is equipped with more than 164,000 speakers.
It stands out that these amplifiers are prepared to limit the sound depending on the area, for example, one side could be listening to the audio in English and the other in Spanish. And with all these amazing features and functions, it’s more understandable than the building has cost around 2,300 million dollars to be built, becoming the most expensive building in the entire city of Las Vegas.
