What's the most newsworthy thing to light up the Las Vegas skyline in the summer of 2023? One guess: The Sphere at The Venetian! (Or, what we used to call, the MSG Sphere)
In today's LVIO adventure, we take a look at what we know about the biggest spherical structure on Planet Earth...and take a spin through the two resorts that are in its front yard: Venetian and Palazzo. What's happening there, on the casino floor and in the Grand Canal Shoppes, to keep people occupied, fed, and entertained, before and after the shows? A LOT...join us on a little discovery tour...Riiiight Now.
Want to take a closer look at the Grand Canal Shoppes? Here's our video from summer 2022:
