Awakening Tickets

Awakening is Wynn's swing at out-teching Cirque: a purpose-built 1,600-seat theater-in-the-round where the floor lifts and splits, drones and projections swallow the room, and Anthony Hopkins narrates a fable about light returning to a darkened world. You sit wrapped around the stage, never more than a few rows from the action — the staging technology, not the story, is the star attraction.

That focus is also the honest dividing line: visitors who come for spectacle leave stunned, while story-first theatergoers find the fable thin under the hardware. It is a full sensory load — pyrotechnics, strobes, theatrical smoke and heightened audio, per Wynn's own advisory — so sensory-sensitive guests should think twice. The run is 80 minutes with no intermission, playing five nights a week on a pattern that shifts by season (two performances most nights — check the Wynn calendar for your date). Listed seats typically start in the low $70s and climb steeply in peak weeks. Ages 5 and up with their own ticket; 5–17 with an adult. Light dress code: no swimwear or flip-flops.
