The Las Vegas heat is brutal for everyone, particularly for Sin City's new resident, the Sphere, which stands outside 366 feet tall all day long.
While air conditioning is offered inside the arena, the sphere's exterior is left sweltering, and is now letting the city know.
Video shows the exterior displaying a yellow face dripping in sweat while breathing profusely.
With a noticeable sunburn, the projected smiley-faced emoji decides to brave the heat head on by putting on black sunglasses. It then flaunts a set of neon green sunglasses, fully embracing the summer weather.
Vegas on track for hottest June on record
The Sphere's weather struggles come as the city faces triple digit temperatures with a high of 109 degrees Wednesday afternoon.
This month is expected to be the hottest recorded June Las Vegas has ever faced, according to the National Weather Service.
July is typically the hottest of the year for Sin City, followed by June and August, the service said.
AccuWeather reported temperatures peaking at 111 degrees for the next four days with the exception of Friday's 108-degree high.
Las Vegas Sphere visuals nearing one year anniversary
It's nearly been a year since the Sphere began showcasing its array of exterior displays.
Despite not officially opening to the public until last September, the structure began showing off its stunning visuals on July Fourth with various displays including the American flag, an eyeball and the planet.
Since then, the venue has displayed a multitude of visuals through advertising campaigns with the NFL, movie studios and its signature bright neon face.
With a 580,000-square-foot display, the structure is home to the world's largest LED screen.
