Classic free Strip spectacle with a bigger payoff once the sun drops and the crowd energy picks up.
Easy add-on when the event already keeps you central Strip and you want something unmistakably Vegas.
Strip
Official attraction page →Nearby Experience
Wynn Las Vegas
A polished Wynn-only spectacle that feels more tucked away than the bigger Strip tourist magnets.
Best when you want a quieter post-dinner or post-show detour that still feels distinctly Vegas.
