What is the show?

What is Awakening?

Awakening was an 80-minute fantasy spectacular at Wynn Las Vegas built specifically for a 360-degree theater. The production combines aerial acrobatics, choreography, large-scale visual effects, lighting, sound and pyrotechnics around an original fantasy story.

The theater itself is a major part of the experience. Rather than watching everything happen against one flat stage, the staging and effects are designed to use the room around the audience. This was a production-scale show first: visual design, movement and technical spectacle carry as much weight as the story.

The 30-second answer

What was Awakening like?

Visual scale was the priority: the 360-degree room, effects and choreography are the reason to choose this over a smaller story-first show.

Kris’s take

This was a production-first choice. The theater itself is part of the reason to book it, so favor a balanced view of the whole room rather than treating the closest possible seat as automatically best.

Good fit

You want a large-scale production where visuals, choreography and effects are a big part of the draw.

Frequently asked questions

How long is Awakening?

Awakening runs approximately 80 minutes with no intermission. Seating opens 30 minutes before showtime — plan to arrive at Wynn 30 minutes early so you have time for the restroom, a drink, and getting settled before the show begins.

What is the age requirement for Awakening?

Everyone in attendance must be at least 5 years of age. All guests, including children, must have a valid ticket to enter. The show's pyrotechnics and elevated sound may be too intense for very young children — use your best judgment.

Can I take photos or video at Awakening?

Still photos are generally welcome — check with your usher before shooting. No flash photography and no video recording. Ushers may ask you to stop at any time.

What special effects does Awakening use?

Awakening features pyrotechnics, smoke effects, elevated sound design, and dramatic lighting changes throughout the show. Guests with photosensitivity, epilepsy, or other conditions with sensitivity to light and sound should be aware before attending.

Which seats are best for Awakening?

Spike's Pick is Sapphire or Ruby — the sweet spot for price and sightlines. Both zones give you a full view of the aerial sequences and stage effects. Diamond is the most immersive if budget isn't a concern.

What days does Awakening perform?

Awakening performs Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday at 6:30 PM and 9:00 PM, with Sunday performances at 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM. The final performance is October 10, 2026.
