V-U2 An Immersive Concert Film at Sphere Las Vegas

Wizard of Oz show was fantastic. The venue was very impressive. The bathrooms were clean and spacious. We had parking at the Sphere, but Ticketmaster cancelled our pass two weeks before our trip! Had to scramble but got parking at the Howard Hughes center (for twice the price) but it was fine.

I went to see Oz at the Sphere. Honestly, way too expensive for what you get. The 4D effects aren’t impressive at all for $130+, nothing close to Universal Studios or Disney. People might say it’s amazing just because it’s expensive or hyped on social media, but it really isn’t. Maybe it didn’t feel worth it because I already know the movie, but either way, I wouldn’t go again for any 4D show here. Spend your money on something real — concerts are 10x better. I saw two in Vegas for around $100 each, and those I’d happily pay $200 for. Seats have a nice layout with clear views and could be great for concerts, but they’re quite narrow. I had a large person beside me taking up part of my space — luckily, I could move to an empty seat.

My wife and I decided to take in the enhanced 'Wizard of Oz' movie at the Sphere on our latest visit to Vegas. We had heard so much about the experience we wanted to see it ourselves. Overall, it was good but there were so many things that need attention I could only rate our experience as 'average'. First, the connection from the Venetian Resort to the Sphere was closed because of some convention that was booked at the Venetian. Wasn't sure why this would close the connecting bridge to get there, but it did. So, we had o walk outside along the grounds of the Palazzo and eventually got there so this wasn't a big deal. But, the gates do not open until 45 minutes prior to the show, so a large mass of people (many elderly) had to wait outside the gates where there were no benches to sit on nor accessibility to any restrooms. This needs attention. Once inside it was very nice, but be prepared for sticker shock if you want to purchase any pre-movie refreshments. If you desired a cocktail, a margarita was $25, and just a bottle of water was seven bucks. That aside, two large elevators take you to the upper levels of the Sphere. But, once you reach the top 400 level, you must still climb stairs if your seats are higher up. A number of people with mobility issues were struggling with this so selecting seats at a lower level and towards the front of your section is worth it if you have this same trouble. The movie started precisely at 5:00 p.m., but ended at 6:15 p.m. One hour and 15 minutes. I said to my wife I don't remember this movie being that short, so we looked it up and the Wizard of Oz should run 1 hour and 42 minutes. Not sure why 27 minutes of this film were cut out, but for $144 per ticket you would expect to see the entire movie. On a more positive note, the special effects that have been added in are very good, especially the tornado that strike's Dorothy's house at the beginning. Overall, we were glad we got to finally visit the Sphere, but in reality we wouldn't go here for another movie. Maybe the right concert (such as the Eagles), but not a movie.

My husband and I have been to hundreds of concerts over the years, and I can confidently say that nothing compares to The Sphere. It’s truly a life-changing concert experience. We even travel from Tampa to Las Vegas specifically for shows here — it’s that good! We were lucky enough to attend the first-ever concert at The Sphere (opening night for U2), and we recently returned for opening night of Kenny Chesney. Both were absolutely epic in their own ways. The visuals are stunning and completely unique to each artist — no two shows feel the same. The sound quality is mind-blowing. It doesn’t matter where you sit; every note feels perfectly balanced and immersive. The technology, the atmosphere, and the sheer creativity behind it all make The Sphere the best concert venue we’ve ever experienced. We’re already planning our next trip back. If you love live music, The Sphere is a must.

The Wizard of Oz was incredible and the venue is pretty spectacular. I loved the atmosphere and immersive experience. My only complaint is that despite being inundated with warnings about bag size, there was NO enforcement of the policy. I was disappointed that I had to walk back to my hotel to retrieve my bag after the show.
