Las Vegas will be opening the MSG sphere this year. It costs $2.2 Billion and the structure will be taller than the Statue of Liberty.
In the second quarter report, MSG Entertainment CEO James L. Dolan said, “Our fiscal second quarter results reflect ongoing operating momentum across our portfolio of live experiences. With our proposed spin-off expected to be completed by the end of March, and the anticipated opening of MSG Sphere in Las Vegas in September, we remain confident that the Company is well-positioned to drive long-term shareholder value.”
The road to making the MSG Sphere a reality hasn’t been bump-free, but builder Madison Square Garden Entertainment believes the new venue will mark a techtonic shift in live entertainment, and if that’s going to happen anywhere, it has to happen in Las Vegas.
The MSG Sphere is located just off the Las Vegas Strip, just east of the Venetian and Palazzo.
