How to Get to The Sphere
Sphere Address: 255 Sands Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89169, United States
Walk From The Strip
Walk across an indoor, air-conditioned bridge. Follow signs to get through the Convention Center.
Driving
The on-site parking is limited; you can park in The Venetian or Palazzo garages, then walk across the bridge. Rideshares and taxis are allowed on Sands Avenue.

Bus routes along the Strip can be used, but rideshares and taxis are more direct.
Pro tips: Even without entry, you can get good views from outside. When the Exosphere is active, go to the Hughes Center or Venetian/Palazzo.
Best Time to Visit The Sphere
For Shows
Arrive 45–60 minutes early to use restrooms and explore the Atrium. Weekday shows are less crowded.
For Light Shows
Evening is the best time for watching exterior visuals, especially during holidays or events. Come around sunset to get the best position. Weekends can be crowded.
Pro tips: Las Vegas summers can be very hot at daytime, so if you visit the Sphere in summer, better to come in the evening.
