The Performance Lake at Wynn Palace adorns the most luxurious hotel in the world, attracting visitors from all over the globe to experience the dynamic water shows envisioned by WET. Determined to surpass the remarkable success of The Fountains of Bellagio, Steve Wynn challenged WET to reimagine their previous work within the context of the vibrant city of Cotai, China’s premiere gambling destination. The fountain in front of the Wynn Palace is the culmination of 20 years of innovation, continuing the legacy of sophisticated integration between engineering and artistic expression that are the signature of every WET feature.

Upon arrival, a chorus line of water jets sways to a welcoming song that invites you to indulge in the glamorous lifestyle of the Wynn Palace. A leisurely stroll around the 7-acre lake provides an evolving perspective of the fountain as it first gently swells, then crisscrosses into an elegant chandelier of water woven in mid-air. Dazzling white light, trapped within each stream, sprays in a shimmer across the surface of the lake, transfixing all who pass. With the classical Chinese ballad, Tomorrow Will be Better, the fountain unfolds into a field of blooming roses, painting a crimson landscape that signifies a prosperous future. As the music quickens, this delicate dance builds into a seething ocean of drama that showers onlookers in a thin coating of mist. Liquid fireworks illuminate the sky, punctuating the crescendos in Beethoven’s Symphony #5 with pulsing lights. Heads turn to follow the high-speed chases that spiral and zigzag across the lake over 500 mph; a comet of energy creating percussive explosions that enforce every beat and lyric. Each performance has a unique character that takes viewers on an emotional journey throughout centuries of musical expression.

An aerial 360° view of the lake is accessible through the SkyCab, a gondola ride circling high above the Performance Lake, tantalizing passengers with torrents that fly right in front of you to heights above 200 feet. Every vantage of the Performance Lake at Wynn Palace provides an unforgettable experience that immerses viewers in the timeless celebration of water, light and music.
