Sphere, the new $2.3 billion venue in Las Vegas that has made plenty of headlines for itself, was briefly turned into a Pie in the Sky right before Thanksgiving.
In celebration of the launch of its new $7 Deal Lover’s Menu, Pizza Hut purchased advertising on Sphere’s enormous exterior LED screen. Those driving through Las Vegas on what is considered the busiest travel day of the year—Tuesday, Nov. 21—could see the “mouthwatering dome of pizza” and could fulfill triggered cravings by simply scanning a QR code to redeem the $7 menu. The QR code also granted passersby a free medium pizza, or other “craveworthy item,” while supplies lasted.
“How do you remind the entire country you just launched a $7 Deal Lover’s Menu? You launch a giant Pie in the Sky in Las Vegas,” said Lindsay Morgan, chief marketing officer at Pizza Hut. “Knowing a lot of pizza lovers will be traveling across the country on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, we wanted to turn our new $7 Deal Lover’s Menu into our biggest deal yet. We turned Sphere into a giant pizza as a fun way to remind fans about our new value menu that offers our iconic dishes for an affordable price without sacrificing quality.”
