A Las Vegas resident by the name of James Kay, has filed a lawsuit against the Las Vegas Sphere venue, alleging excessive noise levels that have disrupted his quality of life. The lawsuit, filed in Clark County District Court, targets the Sphere’s operators and Clark County for approving a waiver allowing the venue to exceed county sound limits.
Kay, a resident of Park Towers, claims that the Sphere’s loud sound tests, which began in July, have caused significant disturbances, including rattling windows and disrupting peace and quiet. He alleges that the Sphere did not have the necessary permits to conduct these tests and subsequently obtained a waiver from Clark County through a controversial process.
The lawsuit seeks damages for property rights violations, noise pollution, and other related harms. Kay argues that the Sphere’s noise levels exceed acceptable limits and negatively impact the surrounding neighborhood. On the contrary, a statement from the Sphere claims Kay is a man known for frequenting legal matters: “Mr. Kay is a litigious individual who has a history of filing numerous lawsuits in different states covering everything from taxes to a refusal to grant him a weapons permit“.
The lawsuit reads: “At the time that the Sphere started blasting loud music, the Sphere did not have any governmental approval to do the same and Sphere’s subsequent application to Clark County admitted as such. Thereafter, the Sphere applied for a waiver to the applicable noise ordinances. The Sphere engaged certain nearby homeowner associations and property owners to seek conditions for the ability to blast loud music at certain levels throughout the year (and throughout certain times during the day) with additional decibel levels and timings for 18 or so days throughout the year.“
