A former executive at Allegiant Stadium and T-Mobile Arena has been appointed senior vice president and general manager of the MSG Sphere at The Venetian.

Raul Gutierrez, who has more than 30 years of experience in management, was named to the position on Friday and will be responsible for the oversight of the 17,500-seat facility, currently being built just east of The Venetian Expo.

Gutierrez will oversee event production, guest relations, food, beverage and merchandise operations as well as ticket and cash room operations and technical operations.

“Throughout my career I have focused on delivering exceptional experiences for guests, but the opportunity to be part of redefining the venue experience with MSG Sphere is truly thrilling,” he said in a release announcing his appointment.
