Key Points

- This was the first year the Sphere has featured a New Year’s show
Las Vegas’ Sphere has brought in the New Year with an eight-minute pyrotechnic light show as part of the city’s annual “America’s Party.” Those celebrating on the Strip this year could see the display from the rooftops of nine resorts.
These included Aria Resort & Casino, Caesars Palace, Fontainebleau Las Vegas, MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, Resorts World Las Vegas, The Strat Hotel, Casino & Tower, TI – Treasure Island Hotel & Casino and The Venetian Resort Las Vegas.
This is the first year the Sphere has presented the New Year’s light show. The display featured a countdown to midnight, which included views of several major cities around the world celebrating the New Year in different time zones.
Following the countdown, the party continued with a choreographed fireworks show.
The Sphere stands 366 feet tall and is 516 feet wide. The dome’s exterior is covered with 580,000 square feet of fully programmable LED panels.
Good to know: The City of Las Vegas estimated that it welcomed close to 340,000 visitors for the holiday
The venue opened in September 2023 and welcomed U2 as its headlining act throughout last fall and winter. The Sphere also offers VIP suites and private seating. The venue has a seating capacity of more than 17,000.
The Sphere recently gained approval from the Paradise Town Advisory Board to exceed the noise limitations previously set by Clark County.
The board voted in favor of the allowance by 3 to 1. With the decision, the Sphere will now be permitted to “to emit loud noise until midnight on 18 occasions throughout the year.”
