| - It seems like every hotel has some kind of free show for it's visitors. Bellagio has it's fountains, Treasure Island has the Sirens of TI, Mirage has it's Volcano, and The Wynn has it's lake show.
What is it?
It's a 150 foot tall fountain with a man made lake in front of it. In the lake is a state of some guy facing the fountain, I don't know what that is all about. but it's just a weird thing to me. I'm not too big into modern art, so I probably don't "get it".
Anyway the lake and fountain has beautiful lights that change the colors of it every now and then. then at night every half hour or so, there is some show they have with music and random animations projected onto the fountains. Sometimes this gigantic inflated frog pops out from the top of the fountain.
So how is it?
Well honestly it's just not that good in my opinion. it's certainly not as bad as Sirens of TI. But it's no way near as good as Bellagio. Sometimes I feel like Wynn hotel tried really hard to take Bellagio and outclass it. In a few ways it does (service), in other ways it fails. (La Reve to me will always be a cheap copy of O, and this lake fountain show is definitely kind of a rip off of the Bellagio fountains).
The Bellagio fountains always has a very classic, romantic, and enchanting feel when you watch it. Especially at night. You can just sit there and watch it with your girl, enjoy the moment, and at the same time you have a part of Vegas you will always remember.
The Lake of Dreams show at the Wynn when you watch it. Well first off it's not easily accessible to see. You pretty much have to be eating at the SW steakhouse, or standing in that one spot in front of the cafe balcony to see it. And that's really the only easily accessible spot to see it and here the music. The last option is the cafe outside seating, but you can imagine how hard it is to get a seat out there during show times.
Anyway as you watch the show, it's not really the beautiful, enchanting etc. I saw three shows. One was "Friends in low Places" cus Garth Brooks now has a show at the Wynn. It was kind of like a Karaoke projection, with a big frog on top. Another was some weird durmming amazon beat music again with the gigantic frog. I'll call him froggy-man.
and the last one...may have had froggy-man too. but I can't even remember what the song was or the projections.
Anyway it's hard to harp on a free show. It is still decent, but nothing about it is so memorable and enchanting that I would tell people you NEED to go see it. So if you're in the area, of course check it out. It's kind of fun yet kind of weird. But unlike the Bellagio Fountain Show, it's definitely not something you NEED to see in Vegas.
