I’ve been taking trips to Las Vegas since long before the Sphere was there, and half the fun—for me, at least—has always been staying somewhere central in this wonderfully over-the-top city. A good Vegas hotel should make it easy to slip between a long lunch, a pool afternoon, a big dinner, and whatever you’ve got planned after dark without spending precious vacation time stuck in traffic—and since the Sphere opened in September 2023, there’s a new glowing landmark to factor into that equation.
The enormous exosphere has become essential to the Vegas skyline, but the real draw is inside: an immersive venue unlike anything else in the city (or the world, really), where the scale of the screen, sound, and space makes going to a show feel like a transformative event. Booking a hotel nearby is ideal if you’re eager to be a quick walk or drive from the venue but also want to keep the neon, restaurants, casinos, pools, and beautiful absurdity of the Strip within reach.
Whether you’re planning around the event of your dreams or simply want to experience Vegas’s newest and most iconic orb in all its glory, these are the hotels worth checking into less than a 10-minute drive from the Sphere.
