Whether you’re traveling to Las Vegas while the Backstreet Boys are performing or deliberately to watch the “Into the Millennium” tour live at The Sphere, I highly recommend it. The 21-show residency features all the boy band’s greatest hits: “Larger Than Life,” “I Want It That Way,” “Quit Playing Games (With My Heart),” plus a bonus new song you can only hear in-show (for now). Yes, the Backstreet Boys are back – but The Sphere isn’t exactly a short drive for most people. It takes planning and effort, all the stuff you typically don’t want to do. That’s why I put together this guide, so you can focus on feeling confident and letting loose, and less on logistics.
How Long Is the Backstreet Boys Residency at The Sphere?
The Backstreet Boys residency at The Sphere started on July 11 and continues until August 24 – but don’t worry! The show is so popular that seven new dates have been added from December 26 to January 3, 2026, so you can still get in on the action. Tickets go on sale for the general public on August 22 at 12 p.m. ET (9 a.m. PT).
Where Should I Stay to See the Backstreet Boys at The Sphere?

I stayed at The Venetian Resort on the Las Vegas Strip, which features gorgeous suite-only rooms, a casino, entertainment (I opted for a magic show), hundreds of restaurants, shopping, spas, a rooftop pool, and even gondola rides “under the stars.” Yes, you’re basically transported to Venice inside the resort. All of this to say, the experience was pretty magical (no pun intended).
However, the most important thing to note is that The Venetian Resort is connected to The Sphere – yes, you read that correctly. All you have to do is walk through a connected pedestrian bridge, and you’re there. It was no-sweat and definitely convenient. The Venetian also hosts The Backstreet Boys Terminal, which is the official gift shop for fans, as well as the official after-party at Voltaire (a club inside the resort), where fans can meet the band.
If you’re thinking about staying here, it’s important to note: as of January, World of Hyatt Credit Cardmembers can earn and redeem points at The Venetian. Not a cardmember? If you sign up now, you can earn two free nights plus 25,000 points. If you travel often, I highly recommend it – especially if you plan to see the Backstreet Boys this December.What Is the Backstreet Boys Dress Code at The Sphere?

The band’s specific request is that fans wear all white with a touch of blue as a nod to the “Into the Millennium” tour. This has resulted in lots of white-on-white outfits, butterfly clips, chokers, and blue eyeshadow – and yes, we have some suggestions for you.
