Developers want to bring a piece of Las Vegas to the DMV. Sphere Entertainment and state officials in Maryland announced plans for a mini Sphere for the Washington, D.C. region at National Harbor. Maryland officials said the proposed venue in Prince George's County would overlook the Potomac River and feature the signature exterior light display similar to the famous Las Vegas Sphere.
However, the Maryland version would be smaller, accommodating about 6,000 seats compared to the Las Vegas venue's larger capacity.State and local leaders say the project could help replace entertainment venues the area has lost in recent years.
