If you’ve seen any photos or video from the inside of the Sphere in Las Vegas, you know exactly why it has become a destination for concertgoers. Now, you’ve got a chance to be there yourself.

On Thursday, the Pabst Theater Group announced The “VIP Stay and Getaway” contest, which includes round-trip flights to Vegas, a two-night hotel stay, and tickets to a show at the larger-than-life venue. Along with the Las Vegas getaway, the contest winner will score a pair of Associated Bank VIP Green Row Seats for five shows at the Pabst Theater and Riverside Theater.

“Our partnership with Associated Bank allows us to create unforgettable experiences for both loyal customers and newcomers to the theater,” said Gary Witt, president and CEO of the Pabst Theater Group via statement. “We’re excited to give one lucky winner the chance to see a mind-blowing performance at The Sphere, and enjoy an expenses-paid trip to Las Vegas. Plus, we’re encouraging people to get out and experience shows here in Milwaukee with our VIP Green Row Seats at the Pabst and Riverside.”

“Associated Bank is deeply rooted in Milwaukee, and we know live experiences bring people together and support our creative economy,” said Marilka Velez, senior vice president and senior director of marketing at Associated Bank. “Sponsoring this contest is a great way to create lasting memories while supporting local venues.”

Since opening last year, the Sphere has played host to residencies from U2, Phish, and most recently Dead & Company. The Eagles and EDM act Anyma are set to perform next at the venue, with more shows soon to be announced for 2025. The UFC will also host a fight there this Saturday night.

The contest begins today and runs through December 1st. You can enter at the Pabst Theater Group website.
