Why the 2024 NHL Draft is taking place at the Las Vegas Sphere
This year’s NHL Draft is making the trip to Las Vegas, as the festivities will take place at a brand-new venue that is taking the world by storm.
The MSG Sphere is the gigantic circular attraction that has taken over the Vegas skyline, hosting concerts for bands like U2 and The Eagles and now hosting a major sporting event with the 2024 NHL Draft.
Why didn’t the NHL go with one of the legendary casinos or with the Las Vegas Golden Knights’ arena for the draft?
Well, attribute it to Sphere fever, as it’s turning into a major point of curiosity for events with its curved screen towering over the stage and its entertainment potential for the draft broadcast.
The NHL released some photos of what the Draft will look like at the Sphere this weekend.

We’ll see how the Sphere does hosting this year’s NHL Draft, and if another sports league wants to host a draft in the event space down the road.
