## Oprah's new Vegas venture
Oprah Winfrey is bringing an immersive live show called 'Oprah Winfrey's Aha' to the Sphere in Las Vegas April 2-4, 2027. It's not a talk show but a two-hour experience featuring music, storytelling and special guests.
## The Sphere's unique technology
The Sphere features a 580,000-square-foot LED exterior and a 160,000-square-foot wraparound LED display inside, creating a globe-shaped space perfect for immersive presentations of light and sound.
## Oprah's inspiration
Winfrey was inspired after attending U2's opening night at the Sphere, where she envisioned using the space to create greater awareness and understanding of human connection.
