 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.
