Performance Art
WOW has been dazzling audiences with a spectacular show since opening at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas in 2017. WOW features more than 30 international performing artists, acrobats and dancers who twirl, flip, dive and dance. In addition to its 1,000-square-foot liquid centerpiece, the 180-degree circular spectacular captivates audiences with three-dimensional multimedia projections, graceful choreography, picturesque water walls, and hypnotic holograms. The show's watery delights are tied together by the story of a fisherman whose mermaid catch leads him on an amazing journey; his odyssey takes him from quaint city streets to the canals of Venice. Returning to the ocean, he confronts pirates, encounters the doomed Titanic, and explores the lost city of Atlantis. Lifelike marine life greets him underwater, where holograms flicker magically on watery walls. The brainchild of director Hanoch Rosenn, WOW has won four prestigious Best of Las Vegas awards and to date has been seen by more than 2.5 million people.
To connect with WOW - The Vegas Spectacular:
Trailer was promising, but fools. Old-fashioned surrounding and stage design. No storyline. Felt like a bad version of "America's Got Talent"with only a very few good acts and many bad ones. Too expensive and bad value.
Overall the show was enjoyable. The seats were literally connected next to each other leaving very little elbow room. I am glad we did not pay full price as I don’t think it’s worth it at that amount. At our price point it was entertaining and overall we had a good time. Next time I’d rather go back to the comedy cellar a second time. Not bad, not great.
This show was so different than the typical Vegas shows. We were happy to see a show that had a little bit of everything with a ton of talent! It was also just nice to go to the Rio and check out a different hotel along with their bars and restaurants. Enjoyed the show!
WOW The Vegas Spectacular was a wonderful well balanced show. It had just the right amount of acrobatics, comedy, and storyline. The main character was hilarious. I was crying from laughter. The show went on for 90 mintues and they had the audience captured the whole time. I definitely recommend seeing it. The Rio in general was a great experience.
Very energetic show with lots of talented performers. Singing, dancing and other surprises during the show!
I loved the Wow show. I thought it was Vegas’s best! The seats were too close together, so it was uncomfortable. The strange man next to me weighted around 300 pounds and took up a fourth of my seat. I tried to move my seat a little but couldn’t. Please give people a little space.
Some good parts and I think kids will enjoy but I found it a bit underwhelming. There are better shows.
Went to an early show so there wasn’t a full crowd but the show was still good nonetheless. The cast was great and friendly. Very talented show.
Needs revamping Not every set had a WOW factor I would say that I only was amazed for a split second. Unfortunately, they definitely need to make changes. Get some new people get some new routines. The workers didn’t look like they were enjoying themselves, just seem like it was just a job and it should just be promoted for kids.
Was very entertaining and audience interactive. Enhoyed every funfilled, laughabke moment.
Absolutely wonderful! We enjoyed it, and we will definitely come back.
This is a tough one to write because we have seen so many high- budget, incredible shows. This would be considered a good, “starter” show without the big production and budget. I applaud all the wonderful people in the show!
The VARIETY of talent is AMAZING! There are multiple cast members with high level talents, yet they all don’t seem fairly showcased. Group dance numbers always had the same blonde female front and center, yet 3 of the other females we thought were more talented with higher energy and it would be nice to see them change it up. Each act should also receive a fair amount of stage time, which also seemed unbalanced. The start to finish fisherman/nerdy guy storyline seemed unnecessary and the pirate skit dragged on way too long - but we had a wonderful time!
WOW Amazes! You will enjoy the show! Performance after performance was amazing especially the very dangerous bow arrow act!
Definitely not WOW! It started with a wanna be Mr. Bean character going fishing and caught a Mermaid. We thought ok, setting the story. Nope, the story was all over the place. Basically It was an AGT show, most of the acts are talented (that's what the 2 star rating is for) but not worth it at all. Three girls in a fish bowl that each swam once around underwater? What in the wide world of sports was that? During the show the guy next to us kept looking over and saying "what is happening here"lol. At the end I thought it was about to become a Chippendales show. That was very strange. The theater is very hot and humid, this just added to 90 minutes of misery. I can say after seeing many show, this is the first one that I won't tell anyone to see.
Overall, we thought this was quite poor, and certainly not value for money. The theatre was only about 30%, or less full. Maybe a reflection on the quality of the show. Shame.
Really entertaining we seat really close good audience
Totally worth it, they let you take pictures. They engage with audience. Big venue. Friendly staff. Great variety of performances.
Some acts were awesome , some were probably considered decent in the 1970’s. The RIO needs some Reno’s.
Wow was exactly how they describe it, spectacular. Every minute of the show was exciting and kept me entertained and anticipating the next moment. Would recommend for anyone of all ages.
