About the Show
Awakening is Wynn Las Vegas’s marquee production — a fantasy spectacle built around a hero’s journey through realms of light and darkness, performed in a custom 360° in-the-round theater that puts the audience inside the action rather than watching from the front.
The show combines aerialists, acrobats, large-scale puppetry, original music, and immersive lighting and sound into a continuous 80-minute experience.
It was recently refreshed with new choreography from Mandy Moore — the same choreographer behind Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour — and has been named Best Production Show by the Southern Nevada Hotel Concierge Association.
Choose it when you want a premium, visually spectacular production at one of Vegas’s top resorts. Skip it if you prefer comedy-driven shows, traditional magic, or a plot told in plain dialogue.
Who It’s For
Date Night
The 360° theater, Wynn’s polished setting, and the romantic storyline make this one of the stronger upscale date-night options on the Strip.
First Big Vegas Show
If you haven’t seen a large-scale Vegas production before, this is a strong entry point — less abstract than Cirque, more story-driven than a revue.
Families with Older Kids
The fantasy adventure format works well for kids 8 and up who can follow the storyline and handle the loud effects and theatrical intensity.
