This dragon slowly emerges from the basement breathing flames and smoke and even swivels its head realistically! Better than Disneyland!

Breathtaking sight as this golden tree emerges, shakes its branches as its leaves and flowers begin to blossom before your stunned eyes! Amazing!


Its rotunda features an out of this world Tree of Prosperity and Dragon of Fortune, both taking turns to rise slowly from the basement to stun guests speechless!

The Tree of Prosperity rises, opens up its branches and turns on its axis while the Dragon of Fortune emerges and uncoils while shooting our flames and smoke!

Best of all, these 2 shows are totally free so just walk in and gawk, gasp and take photos! Wynn Macau must be the only hotel to boast a major tourist attraction on such a massive scale!

Most hotels only have some paintings or carvings or statues which are not particularly valuable or impressive but Wynn Macau's rotunda (its lobby and reception are a few minutes walk away) invested millions to create such traffic-stopping shows!

One comes after the other after a 15 minute break. I marvelled at these two for well over an hour! 


Tree of Prosperity & Dragon of Fortune
Featuring spectacular and sparkling movement of kinetic sculptures, video, light and music, the Rotunda houses two of Wynn Macau's one of a kind guest attractions - The Tree of Prosperity and the Dragon of Fortune. Symbolizing vitality, good fortune and well-being, these performances are designed to thrill and excite guests as they enter. In addition, the Rotunda includes a Chinese Zodiac cupola and a Western zodiac dome.

Tree of Prosperity
The iconic golden Tree of Prosperity rises up from below and dazzle with its golden leaves and branches.

The 11 meter tall Tree have 60 limbs, more than 2,000 branches and 98,000 leaves. Three different colors are blended throughout the Tree and its leaves, and the finest materials are used. The leaves are composed of 24-karat gold leaf and brass leaf. The base is a combination of brass metal flake and 24-karat gold leaf. The entire piece is subtly coloured using stained glass paint. In all, 340 liters of gold paint, 25,000 square feet of gold leaf, 6 kilograms of gold flake, 3 kilograms of gold glitter, and 117 liters of gold leaf sizing were used.

Rays of light illuminate the Tree and change into vibrant colours representing different seasons.

LED Video Screening - Dramatic, swirling and transforming patterns are featured in a giat 20 meter diameter LED video screen nce the Chinese zodiac cupola opens like an iris, expressing a complexity of rhythms and emotions.
Crystal Chandelier - Composed of 21,000 crystals, each carring a white light, the 11 meter diameter sparkling chandelier adds glitter and glamour to the experience when the LED video screen splits into two.

Dragon of Fortune
The powerful Dragon of Fortune emerges in a rolling fog from the Rotunda cellar and rises to a height of 28 feet. The Dragon features an animated head complete with glowing eyes and billowing smoke from its nostrils. The beautiful Lotus Blossom opens twelve feet in diameter and produces a dramatic crystal light effect.

The entire dragon and Lotus is fabricated from molded fiber reinforced resin and steel. The dragon and base are covered with 2,450 square feet of gold leaf. The sculptural base is themed to resemble carved jade set within decorative gold frames. The jade is made of stained glass resin castings back lit with 15,452 LED lights embeded behind a holographic film.

The Show starts from 10:00am to 2:00am daily and run alternately at 30 minutes intervals. The shows last about five to eight minutes.
