The Las Vegas Exosphere, the world’s largest LED screen, has dominated the attractions list in Las Vegas since its debut in 2023, and has featured an emoji face almost as long. That face has celebrated holidays with custom animations and décor, and now has earned a name: Orbi, as announced by Sphere on Feb. 27, 2025.
Orbi was the largest spectator at the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix races in both 2023 and 2024. Now, the character will be able to join the race crowd and holiday partiers with an identity of his own.
Sphere also released a new e-commerce shop featuring both the “Orbi Collection” of merchandise and original Sphere gear. The merch drop includes hoodies, t-shirts, hats, and “Adorbi” infant onesies.
“Orbi has become a global phenomenon and cultural touchstone, captivating audiences in Las Vegas and on social media with its many expressions,” said Chandra Allison, executive VP of sales and service at Sphere, who oversees merchandise. “The e-commerce site is a way for fans around the world to connect with Orbi and Sphere via official branded merchandise, further extending the reach and visibility of Sphere’s brand.”
In celebration of Orbi’s naming, Sphere let the emoji “take over” the company’s Instagram handle, @SphereVegas, for a day.
