Pokemon Sleep Takes Over The Las Vegas Sphere
The Sphere spot arrives mid-event, timed to a Mewtwo chase and a Monster Ball hotel campaign, so the outdoor ad reads as a coordinated push for the game's September slate rather than a standalone stunt.

A special video for the sleep app Pokemon Sleep has run on the Sphere in Las Vegas. The venue's exterior display, the Exosphere, turned the sphere into a giant Monster Ball, with Mew and Spheal appearing in the footage. The game's event "Secret Research! Chase Mewtwo" runs from September 14 to 28 on Wakakusa Island. A separate Monster Ball-shaped hotel project opened on September 15 in Tomakomai City, Hokkaido.
The Exosphere, the Sphere's outer wall, is an LED display of about 54,000 square meters, and the venue itself is about 112 meters tall and 157 meters wide. The video uses the spherical shape directly: the whole structure becomes a Monster Ball, and Spheal, whose perfectly round body matches the format, appears alongside Mew. In Pokemon Sleep, players measure sleep and research the sleeping faces of the Pokemon that gather. The September 14 to 28 event sends players into the secret area of Wakakusa Island to chase Mewtwo's rare sleeping face.
