Behind the Build: Who Actually Built Sphere Las Vegas?
Sphere Las Vegas is one brand on the marquee — Sphere — but the project runs on named specialists (7thSense, AECOM, Cast Connex, HOLOPLOT and more). Every supplier link below is verified with source_url + quote.
TL;DR
Bottom line: Sphere Las Vegas looks like one marquee name (Sphere), but at least 6 verified system slots are served by named B2B suppliers — elevators, structure, facade, MEP, and more — each backed by a published source. See the slot→supplier table and source quotes below.
One name on the marquee. 6 specialists behind the build.
You know Sphere Las Vegas. You might know the operator — Sphere. But the exosphere and immersive sound is not one company’s product; it is an assembled system. Each system slot below is a different brand’s specialty — every line backed by a published source.
