V-U2 An Immersive Concert Film at Sphere Las Vegas

I went to watch Wizard of Oz at sphere and I found the experience somewhat overhyped and lacking a true “wow” factor, especially considering the high ticket price. The immersive elements felt similar to 6D–7D movie effects, and some of these appeared to be most effective only for viewers seated closer to the front, which limited the overall experience. In terms of comfort, the seating could be improved. On a positive note, the large dome auditorium is impressive and visually striking. However, for the price paid, I did not feel that the show delivered sufficient value.

The film itself is really cleverly remastered. The wind features in the film are felt in the seats of the sphere. It was atmospheric and dramatic in that aspect. It is really steep though and I worry for older guests who are a bit wobbly on their feet. We did sit at the back which was great for the best view in my opinion (section 407). But also at the steepest part of the theatre. We had row 25, seats 1 and 2, excellent view and good to get out quickly before the crowds. We got the lift down as the escalators were so steep on the way up we couldn’t bring ourselves to go down on them! It’s worth going of course but just be aware that the seat rows are very close to each other and I’ve never been in any theatre so steeply set out before. Drinks were quite steep as well (pardon the pun). $20 for a glass of wine , $8 for a Coke. But you can’t take your own drinks in so you have to get drinks there. Overall I would recommend with a caveat that if you don’t like heights try and aim for the front seats (although to me all seats looked steep, but the height itself wouldn’t be so bad if you were in the front rows).

The Eagles was an amazing experience! easy to access and is a great venue. I will definitely come back. Totally your moneys worth.

This place is expensive but worth the price. It’s a one of a kind experience.
