The award-winning Tree of Prosperity, deisgned by Mark Fisher, is the centrepiece of the Wynn Macau’s opulent atrium, and combines meticulous artwork with sophisticated technology. Guests are treated to a dramatic spectacle regularly throughout the day, when the 70-foot-high ceiling dome, illustrated with the animal symbols of the Chinese Zodiac, opens to reveal an LED screen, which displays a themed video. The screen then parts to make way for the descent of a 30-foot-diameter chandelier and simultaneously the floor dome also splits to allow the Tree to ‘grow’ to a height of 38 feet, while emotive lighting simulates the change of seasons and the passing of time. The Tree has 60 limbs, 2,000 branches, and 98,000 leaves, all made of gold and brass and decorated with gold flakes, gold leaf and glitter.
