The light display on MSG Sphere marked a new way to celebrate July Fourth, but it was just one of the ways Southern Nevada celebrated the holiday throughout Southern Nevada. “You know, 38 million people come to this city every year, (but we’re some) of the first few to see it.” “It’s cool as heck knowing that we’re (some) of the first people in the world to see it,” Nebraska native Brandon Bartlett said of the display. They watched as alternating displays of stars and stripes, a floral pattern, blue streaks and images resembling red, gold and white fireworks played out across the 580,000 square feet of LED screen while the cracks of Independence Day fireworks emanating from Caesars Palace helped punctuate the show. The light display on the Sphere’s exosphere drew cheers, along with oohs and ahhs, from a crowd of spectators on the top level of the nearby Venetian parking garage. The MSG Sphere took center stage during Las Vegas’ Independence Day festivities Tuesday with the debut of its next-level light show. (Madeline Carter/Las Vegas Review-Journal)
