After working with the Wynn Las Vegas, Stage Technologies was asked to provide show control for an extraordinary showpiece in the atrium of the Wynn Macau in 2006.
The Tree of Prosperity is the centre piece of the casino’s opulent atrium, and combines meticulous artwork with sophisticated automation 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.
