A feel for the place

The hotels in this guide sit on and around Las Vegas Boulevard. The Venetian and Palazzo put restaurants inside the same resort; Wynn and Resorts World also have dinner options on site. Choose your hotel and dinner together to keep the evening's stops in one place before heading to Sphere.

Check the entrance on your ticket: the Venetian Bridge stairway is for Standard Admission. Large bags and backpacks aren't allowed.

Which area suits you?The Venetian Resort / Wynn, Resorts World and Treasure Island

The Venetian Resort

Walking from your room to the show over the Venetian Bridge, with no transport to arrange

Stay at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, which its own Sphere page calls the nearest hotel to the venue, with a direct bridge to Sphere, so no rideshare, transit or parking is needed.

After the show
No separate exit route is published, and it isn't published whether the way out differs from the bridge entrance. All exits are final, so you can't leave and come back in.
Keep in mind
It's one resort with two towers (The Venetian and The Palazzo), and the only hotel in this guide on this route. The bridge is the Standard Admission route only; Director's Seat Package holders use the West VIP entry on Sands Avenue.
More about this area

The Venetian and Palazzo towers, with Buddy V's Ristorante in the Grand Canal Shoppes and Mott 32 in The Palazzo. Buddy V's serves an Italian brunch buffet every Sunday.

Harry Reid International Airport publishes no transit time or fare to the Strip, only pickup points: taxis wait right outside baggage claim at Terminal 1 and outside on Level Zero near door 52 at Terminal 3, and rideshare pickup is on the parking garage's Level 2 at Terminal 1 or the Valet Level at Terminal 3. From the resort, enter Sphere through the Venetian Bridge stairway for Standard Admission.

Wynn, Resorts World and Treasure Island

Three more hotel options near Sphere

Stay at Wynn, Treasure Island or Resorts World, 0.7 to 1.4 km from Sphere in a straight line, each with a stop on the 24-hour Deuce bus, and reach Sphere by rideshare or on foot through The Venetian.

After the show
Use the same rideshare corner at Manhattan St and Westchester Dr, or the Deuce, which runs 24 hours in both directions. No Deuce fare is confirmed here.
Keep in mind
These hotels don't connect to Sphere by a direct bridge. You take a rideshare to Sphere's drop-off corner or walk into and through The Venetian, and no walking distance or route for that last stretch is published.
