LAZ Parking staffed up and now has a small army in yellow safety vests to take payments with digital handheld devices and direct traffic with illuminated red batons.

We were getting endless lines of people offering to pay to park, just to stand on top of the garage and take a picture of the Sphere, so we just embraced it.' 'And once they turned the lights on, it just became a spectacle in the middle of the desert. 'Once the Sphere was almost fully done, we started getting a ton of extra vehicle traffic in the area,' LAZ Parking Regional General Manager Brandon Myers said. Most of the spaces are reserved for tenants who work on campus throughout the day, but operator LAZ Parking has opened up the lots to the general public after 6 pm, taking advantage of the sudden interest in the new attraction. You just need a good vantage point to check it out-and for some, that's worth paying a few dollars.įour parking garages at the neighboring Hughes Center just happen to have the best up-close, unobstructed views of the Sphere.

The Sphere has reshaped the Las Vegas skyline in dramatic fashion, and while tickets are required to see U2 or Darren Aronofsky's Postcard From Earth inside, the show on the venue's massive dome-shaped exterior is absolutely free. You know something is a big deal when people are forking over cash just to take a good photo of it.
