WOW - The Vegas Spectacular

WOW – The Vegas Spectacular is a 90-minute, no-intermission live variety show performed inside the intimate WOW Theater at the Rio Las Vegas. Directed by Hanoch Rosenn, the production debuted in Las Vegas in 2017 and has since performed over 3,000 shows, been seen by more than 2.5 million people, and earned multiple Best of Las Vegas awards including Best Production Show, Best Family Friendly Show, Best Value Show, and Best Acrobatic Show (Gold) in both 2024 and 2025. The show's narrative follows a fisherman whose chance encounter with a mermaid sweeps him on an extraordinary journey — from cobbled streets to Venice's canals, pirate battles, the wreck of the Titanic, and the mythical city of Atlantis. The 180-degree theatrical setting features a 1,000-square-foot liquid centerpiece, towering water walls, 3D multi-media projections, and awe-inspiring holograms. More than 30 international artists — including Olympic-caliber acrobats, aerial artists, dancers, jugglers, and specialty acts — fly, flip, and defy gravity throughout the performance. Notable acts include the Rodriguez brothers' human juggling act and crossbow artist Silvia Silvia, a veteran of America's Got Talent. The venue uses smoke, haze, strobing lights, and other stage effects. Recommended for ages 4 and up; all patrons must have a ticket regardless of age. Infants under 1 year may be held on the lap of a paying ticket holder.
