When planning the perfect Vegas getaway, you must tick all the boxes—luxurious accommodations, five-star service, superb entertainment and dining and maybe even a spectacle or two to inspire the right amount of “fear of missing out” from friends and loved ones. Wynn Las Vegas wrote the playbook on major moments and continues to up the bar on its offerings.
A New Show in 2022
This winter, Awakening debuts in the Awakening Theater. This 75-minute show is non-stop action, star-powered creative and technological marvels. Five years in the making, Awakening is conceived and created by Baz Halpin; Bernie Yuman, who was Muhammad Ali and Siegfried & Roy’s representation for decades; and Michael Curry, famed for The Lion King on Broadway and many other large-scale spectacles; and a world-renowned team of talent behind some of the most iconic moments in entertainment. Awakening also features the voice of Anthony Hopkins and invites the audience to join the quest of a beautiful heroine and her two fellow travelers as they seek to restore beauty and love to the world.
You’ll adventure with them and experience worlds never before seen on a journey set within the 360-degree theater custom designed for Awakening. Infused with modern day myth and magic, Awakening comes to life through a combination of dramatic choreography, technology, fantastic creatures and a specially-designed sound system showcasing its breathtaking original musical score by Brian Tyler.
The theater features 1,600 seats, each within 75 feet of center stage and equipped with a sound system that envelops audiences through WynnSonic featuring PHBX Technology™ — a technology that creates 3D sound. Peter Hylenski designed the sound. Elaborate set designs by George Tsypin are showcased as the journey unfolds across a 60-foot prismatic stage, made of dichroic glass and custom LED screens. More than 300 costumes, designed by Soyon An and inspired by haute couture, bring the five unique and visceral worlds of Awakening to life.
Halpin is the visionary producer and director of Awakening. He is known for creating spectacles ranging from halftime shows and opening ceremonies to stadium and arena tours for the world’s biggest artists including Harry Styles, Taylor Swift, Usher, CHER and Katy Perry, among others. His television credits include producing the American Music Awards, The Academy of Country Music Awards, and The MTV European Music Awards.
“I’ve been fortunate to work with many of the greatest artists in the live entertainment space, but with Awakening I had the opportunity to explore completely new territory,” says Halpin. “I’ve always been fascinated with the 360-experience and the intimacy that it creates between the audience and performers. It allows for a level of immersivity that brings the theatrical experience to life. Our theater at Wynn has afforded us the ability to create something unlike anything else in entertainment. Awakening is a Las Vegas spectacle on an epic scale.”
The puppetry and design from a riveting underwater scene in Water realm complete with a massive whale to an ominous tree person that emerges from the Air realm brings a new world to life with imaginative characters and creatures. The transformational stage also acts as a character itself.
Exclusive seating options include VIP and Elite seating packages that respectively offer at the VIP level a personal host, souvenir program, Champagne and dessert; and at the Elite level, a personal escort to a seat in the VIP Circle, a dedicated server, souvenir Awakening program and a menu featuring small bites and premium beverages. You will also receive a commemorative tote and deck of artist-created Awakening playing cards before joining cast members for a souvenir photograph.
Showtimes are 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., Tuesday to Saturday.
