When Vegas Sphere Goes Global: Dubaï Gets Its Own!

The Las Vegas Sphere showcasing vibrant EDM events

The famous Las Vegas Sphere has been sending ripples since its launch last year. Officially opened nearly a year ago on September 29, 2023, this beauty showcases the world's largest spherical screen, captivating audiences around the globe. Everyone has been waiting to see how the electronic music scene would take hold of this incredible space, and guess what? It's happening soon with Anyma bringing the heat at the end of the year, with a whopping six dates lined up! Oh yes, six dates! And yes, they're all sold out, despite prices that would make a DJ shed a tear! Just like announcing a pizza and watching a crowd fight for the last slice!

Other spheres were proposed worldwide; one was even suggested for East London. But the first structure daring enough to rival the Vegas Sphere will land in Dubai, because why not? The hotel group MGM Resorts has announced its project "The Island". Imagine a flashy hotel complex sprouting amid three distinct hotels: MGM, Bellagio, and Aria – like a luxury party where everyone gets to line up for a cocktail!

Sure, the CEO of MGM Resorts has made it clear: the Dubai Sphere will not be as massive as its Vegas counterpart (110 meters tall), though it will still be "very impressive," like a magician pulling an adorable bunny out of a giant hat. Early figures suggest a capacity of 300 seats, where the Vegas Sphere can handle an audience of 18,600. As they say, quality trumps quantity. Regardless of size, MGM promises an experience that’s "just as exciting," which sounds pretty tantalizing! So get your sunglasses ready; it’s going to be a hot one in Dubai!
