  • Las Vegas' new MSG Sphere venue is capturing attention and causing chaos. The structure, costing $3.5 billion, is billed as the world's largest spherical structure, towering at 112m tall and 157m wide. It features 1.2 million LED screens on the outside and a massive 16K LED screen on the inside. With an 18,000-capacity audience and 160,000 speakers, the venue promises an immersive sensory experience. While it has caused traffic chaos in the short term, the MSG Sphere will soon host live music gigs, film screenings, sporting events, and theater performances. The futuristic design and technological features have attracted much attention, with the sphere transforming into various shapes like basketballs and moons. In the long term, the venue will be home to a U2 tour and a Darren Aronofsky-directed cinematic masterpiece. However, some feel that it doesn't compare to iconic Australian landmarks like the Big Pineapple and the Big Clam – which would be even more impressive if they were spherical. Overall, the MSG Sphere is set to be a groundbreaking addition to Las Vegas' entertainment scene.
  • Subtitles section
  • This futuristic-as-hell-looking colossus on the Las Vegas horizon is the MSG Sphere.
  • You literally cannot find anything bigger.
  • The Sphere is all anyone's been talking about.
  • When it officially opens to the public in September, the entertainment venue will host live music gigs, film screenings and sporting events.
  • CHEERING Costing almost $3.5 billion to construct, it's billed as the world's largest spherical structure, taking the mantle from our beloved Burt Newton's head.
  • RIP, mate.
  • Oh, shit!
  • The MSG Sphere measures about 112m tall and 157m wide.
  • It has 1.2 million LED screens on the outside and an enormous 16K LED screen on the inside that will wrap over and around much of the 18,000-capacity audience as they're blasted with sonic goodness from 160,000 speakers.
  • It was lit up for the first time last week and it's jaw-dropping, transforming into things like basketballs, creepy eyeballs and moons.
  • That's no moon.
  • It's a space station.
  • In the short term, it's done nothing but cause traffic chaos.
  • Drivers in the area aren't really watching the road.
  • Just lined up, taking pictures, looking at it, taking videos.
  • But in the long term, it will be home to a U2 tour, a Darren Aronofsky-directed cinematic masterpiece and all sorts of theatre in the round.
  • Literally.
  • What a story.
  • He's a pro.
  • He's a pro.
  • Thanks so much.
  • What were your highlights?
  • Well, I enjoyed the big sphere bit.
  • I thought that was really strong.
  • And I was disappointed there was no reference to some of the big things in Australia.
  • Like, surely that doesn't compare to the big pineapple, for example.
  • Yeah, of course.
  • You know, the big clam.
  • The big clam?
  • It's when it does something that is itself spherical.
  • I mean, that's freaky.
  • I don't know how I would go.
  • Don't you think it'd be quite dangerous if you were driving along?
  • Yes.
  • I get freaked out when I see the Macca's arches.
  • Like, I can't remember...
  • Freaked out or drawn to?
  • Well, drawn to.
  • Freaked out is what I say when I'm hungry.
  • I get in there.
  • But wouldn't that distract you?
  • I've seen some people at some music festivals who I reckon would get really, really lost inside that ball.
  • Yeah.
  • Yeah.
  • You said the big things in Australia.
  • What about the Rundle Mall balls?
  • Rundle Mall balls, right?
  • Surely that's the winner right there.
  • Well, surely that's where they got the inspiration.
  • Obviously.
  • It doesn't have a designer.
  • Yeah, yeah, yeah.
  • Well, it's kind of like if you've seen the design of the Opera House.
  • It's just kind of a little thing on a pamphlet.
  • It's like, surely the mall balls should be, you know, credited with what they've done for Vegas.
  • Celebrated.
  • Celebrated, even.
  • Exactly.
  • I love that you just called our greatest architectural wonder a little thing on a pamphlet.
  • Well, I don't know much about architecture.
  • I know people like it and it's pretty exciting.
  • And that wraps up our ball chat.
  • Thank you.
