Looking for hotels near The Sphere? Here are some of your best options.
The Sphere is an immersive entertainment experience in Las Vegas that combines musical performance with art and technology. The venue, which seats over 17,000 guests, has already hosted residencies for some of the biggest names in music, including U2, The Backstreet Boys, and Phish.
If you’re coming to Vegas for a show at The Sphere, location is everything. Waiting for a cab or ride share to and from an event could take upwards of an hour on a busy evening. A hotel within easy walking distance of The Sphere can make your concert experience more enjoyable.
I understand that walking distance can look different for everybody. As somebody who loves to walk, I’ve walked the entire Vegas strip, which is about 3.3 miles, many times for exercise and entertainment. I know it’s entirely possible to walk to The Sphere from the hotels in and around The Strip if you’re up for a walk. However, the hotels near The Sphere in this piece are all under a mile, or closer, to The Sphere.
Tips for The Sphere
- The Sphere is located on 255 Sands Ave in Las Vegas, Nevada. Follow directions to enter the building once you arrive.
- Give yourself plenty of time to get through security at The Sphere.
- Wear comfortable shoes. Between the walk to the show and standing for the concert, your feet will thank you.
- Review The Sphere’s bag policy and what you are allowed to bring into the show so you don’t get held up at security.

When staying at The Palazzo, you can walk to The Venetian and cross to The Sphere from the pedestrian walkway.

Treasure Island
Treasure Island is a moderately priced hotel near The Sphere, for a slightly longer walk. From outside of Treasure Island, it can take an extra 5-10 minutes to get to the lobby of The Venetian.
To get to The Sphere from Treasure Island, you need to take the pedestrian bridge from Treasure Island to The Venetian. Once in The Venetian, follow the signs around the Venetian to connect to the pedestrian bridge to The Sphere.
For the price of the rooms and the great location, Treasure Island is a good value.

This hotel is the closest to The Sphere, mileage-wise. It is an easy 5-minute walk down the street to the entrance of The Sphere.
The rooms are condo-style with full kitchens, which is a plus for Vegas. There’s no casino on the property, which makes it a more relaxing stay.
However, this is a time-share based property. While I’ve never stayed there myself, I’ve heard that if you aren’t a timeshare member, you may be approached with timeshare pitches while you’re on the property.
The Linq
The Linq is a moderately priced, centrally located property on the Vegas strip. It is considerably further from The Sphere than the properties listed above. It is about a mile from The Sphere and can take 20 minutes or longer to go door to door.
Staying at The Linq truly feels like you’re in the pulse of Vegas, and you’re a short walking distance from much of the hustle and bustle on the strip.

It does not have a casino, which reduces noise and adds a sense of peace to your stay. If you want to come to Vegas for a show without the hustle and bustle of Vegas, this may be a good location for you. Plus, the Westin beds are my favorite for a good night’s sleep.
