Las Vegas' Sphere at the Venetian Resort has officially opened its doors - and we now get to see what it looks like from the inside.

The new arena holds a whopping 18,600 people and is thought to have cost around $2.3 billion to create - and from the looks of it from new videos, you can see that the money was spent well.

The sphere, previously referred to as the MSG Sphere, had it's grand opening on Friday 29 September and has since been hailed as a 'magical' experience.

The venue's opening night saw U2 take the stage, with the band's Las Vegas residency at the venue continuing on until Saturday 16 December.

It will set you back a pretty penny to see the Irish band play, however, as tickets are being advertised on the venue's official website from $400 to an eye-watering $1,350.

However, online influencer Jennifer Gay, known as Vegas Starfish, attended U2's opening gig and documented the night for all her 1.4 million TikTok followers to see, describing the venue as 'the most amazing concert venue to ever exist'.

While the outside of the sphere has some amazing - and albeit bit creepy - visual effects, the venue also looks like something from futuristic movie on the inside too.

"The inside is nothing short of magical," Jennifer told fans.

"The outside is made up on more than a million of these baseball-sized LED lights.

"You can walk in from the strip of take the bridge from Venetian."

She went on to say that while there are lines, they 'move fast' and that the inside of the venue is an 'absolutely stunning look at the future'.

Jennifer then proceeded to show everyone what the views are like from each part of the stadium, depending where your seats are - with 200 and 300 being recommended as the best places to nab.

"There are no truly bad seats, but it is very steep," she explained.

"If you are scared of heights or suffer from vertigo, it can be overwhelming at first.

"In my case, it passed quickly and I was able to enjoy the show."

"The surround sound was amazing and the visuals were like nothing else you've ever seen," she went on to say.

Despite the hefty prices to get into the venue, the online influencer insisted that going to the sphere is an 'absolute must'.

Once U2's residency ends, it's anyone's guess who will jump at the chance to perform at The Sphere.

But music fans have replied to Jennifer's video sharing who they'd like to see there, with suggestions range from Beyonce and Tame Impala to Radiohead and Cher Lloyd.

What a lineup that would be.
