While Las Vegas inaugurates its Sphere, London residents push back on plans for replica venue

, the city's latest state-of-the-art music venue, earned rave reviews from concert-goers and online commentators alike after its official opening last week.

The group says the site of the new Sphere in Stratford is surrounded by residential properties, and as close as 250 feet to some homes. Campaigners have also criticized the developer's offer of black-out window blinds for those who live closest to the venue.says the London Sphere would"transform an undeveloped site" into"a thriving destination that also serves as a long-term investment in the future of London," while creating thousands of jobs.

The Sphere is seen at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas on Oct. 1, 2023. The giant video screen covering its exterior can be changed to show different displays."Stratford is not Las Vegas," Nate Higgins, who is a Green Party councillor representing the local area, told CBS News."I've lived there for my entire adult life, it is not the same thing."
