Sphere Las Vegas timings
Entry hours at the Sphere in Las Vegas vary with each event, giving you plenty of time to settle in before films, concerts, or residencies.

- The Sphere Experience (Film): Doors open 45 minutes before showtime. Shows typically run for 50-75 minutes.
- Concerts and Residencies: Doors open 60 minutes before showtime, with performances varying in duration depending on the artist or event.
Box Office Hours
- Box office, situated at the Plaza entry, is open on event days only, starting one hour before the first show and closing 30 minutes after the last show.
Exosphere Light Show
- The best time to see the light show is after sunset, when the 580,000 square feet of LED panels come alive with art, animations, and color displays visible from the Las Vegas Strip. It lasts until 11:00 pm.
Best time to visit the Sphere
The best time to visit the Las Vegas Sphere is in the evening, after 7 pm, when the experience truly comes to life.
For the Full Experience:
- Arrive in the evening: The evening allows you to see the Exosphere light show and attend an indoor performance, making it the most complete experience at the Sphere.
- Allow for exploration: Plan to arrive 30-45 minutes before your showtime if you want to experience Sphere Eats, grab a drink, or shop for merchandise. This gives you time to enjoy the venue and avoid long lines.
- Don’t arrive hours early: The venue opens at the stated time on your ticket, so arriving any earlier won’t get you in sooner. However, if you’d like extra time to explore the atrium or exhibits, arriving a bit earlier is a good idea.
