Is the Sphere Worth It?
Seats for The Wizard of Oz at Sphere run about $95 to $250, and the cheaper high seats still see the whole screen. What you get, where to sit, and when it is not worth it.
The short answerFor most visitors Sphere is worth seeing once: its wraparound screen is unlike any other venue, and seats for the immersive film The Wizard of Oz at Sphere cost about $95 to $250. The 400-level seats at weekday late shows, from about $95 to $130, still see the whole screen, while the back rows of the 100 level have the worst view of the dome. Concert residencies cost far more.

What Sphere is
Sphere is a spherical venue next to The Venetian whose interior is wrapped in a LED screen of about 160,000 square feet, curving over and around the audience. The Wizard of Oz at Sphere reimagines the film for that screen, with 4D effects in the seats and room. The venue also hosts concert residencies.
Postcard from Earth, the original Sphere film, finished its run on 27 August 2025. Some ticket sites still list it, so make sure you are buying for what is actually showing.

Where to sit
| Level | Typical film price | View |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | About $95–$130 | The whole screen, from a steep, high rake |
| 200 and 300 | Higher | The best balance of the full screen and immersion |
| 100, back rows | Varies | The overhang cuts off the top of the dome |
The 400 level is steep, so it is not the place for anyone uneasy with heights. Otherwise it is the best value in the building.
When it is worth it, and when it is not
- Worth it on a first trip, for anyone who loves visual spectacle, and as an early-evening activity before dinner.
- Less worth it if you have already seen the current film, if the budget is tight, or if a steep seat would spoil it.
Spending less
- Choose a weekday late show and the 400 level.
- Skip on-site parking, which costs $50, or $75 for valet, and walk from a Strip hotel nearby.
- Eat and drink before you go. A draft beer inside costs about $18 to $20.
- See the outside for nothing. The exterior lights up at night and is visible from the Strip.
