LAS VEGAS, March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Visit Las Vegas announced today "Code Match," an innovative, live digital sweepstakes that transforms the Exosphere of Sphere in Las Vegas, the world's largest LED screen, into a first-of-its-kind mobile game experience. Up for grabs are 16 unique, "Only in Las Vegas" prizes that will be awarded to lucky code matchers. The game begins on Friday, March 13 at 7 p.m. PT/10 p.m. ET, and is open to U.S. residents aged 21 and over, who can register now at CodeMatch.com for their chance to win.

Created by Sphere Studios, this first‑of‑its‑kind mobile game will give participants the chance to win exclusive Vegas prize packages, including tickets to both The Wizard of Oz at Sphere and No Doubt Live at Sphere, plus luxury accommodations, VIP nightlife access, celebrity chef dining, spa escapes, behind‑the‑scenes venue tours, and marquee entertainment and sporting experiences.

"Only Las Vegas would look at the world's most iconic canvas and say, 'Let's raise the stakes.' Code Match transforms the Exosphere into a playful, engaging experience, inviting fans to discover unforgettable Las Vegas experiences all powered by that unmistakable 'Only in Vegas' spark that defines the destination," said Kate Wik, Chief Marketing Officer for Visit Las Vegas.

"This collaboration with Visit Las Vegas underscores our shared commitment to delivering the type of unforgettable experiences that Las Vegas is known for," said Marcus Ellington, EVP, Ad Sales and Sponsorships, Sphere. "By transforming the Exosphere into a mobile game experience, we continue to push the boundaries of how our advanced technologies can enable fans to connect with brands on the Exosphere."

How It Works
Registration is now open at CodeMatch.com, where participants can opt in to play for any, or all, of the 16 rounds – each of which features a distinct prize package. Code Match will go live on the Exosphere—and on CodeMatch.com—at 7 p.m. PT / 10 p.m. ET on Friday, March 13.

The game will be played on CodeMatch.com and viewable in real-time on the Exosphere. During each round, a custom animation will reveal a three-digit number on the Exosphere. If an eligible participant's randomly assigned code matches the number displayed for that round, they have the winning code. New rounds will launch every 8 minutes, with a new winning three-digit code revealed each round. Players will be assigned random codes on CodeMatch.com for each round they opt to play. All prize packages are for two people and include airfare credit, as further detailed in the official rules.
