WOW – The Vegas Spectacular Marks 9 Years at the Rio, and It's Still Running Nightly

Is WOW still running?

Yes. WOW – The Vegas Spectacular is still running at the Rio, Tuesday–Sunday at 7:00 PM, dark on Mondays. If you've seen searches suggesting the WOW Las Vegas show was cancelled, that's not the case. Holiday schedules can shift, so check your date on Ticketmaster before you go.

What WOW is

WOW is a water show and an acrobatics show at once: aerial acts, dance, comedy beats and water effects on a stage built for it, in the showroom at the Rio, 3700 W Flamingo Rd, just west of the Strip. It's a visual show more than a talky one, which is a big part of why it works for mixed-age groups and visitors who don't share a first language.

Over those nine years it has picked up Review-Journal Best of Las Vegas Gold for Best Acrobatic Show in 2024 and 2025, and Gold for Best Value Show in 2018 (Best of Las Vegas winners).

A family show: all ages, recommended 3+

WOW is one of the few big Las Vegas production shows that's open to all ages, with a recommendation of 3 and up. A 7:00 PM curtain means younger kids are back at the hotel at a reasonable hour. Every guest generally needs their own ticket, so check the infant and lap policy on Ticketmaster for very small children.

Awakening fans: what to see next

Awakening at Wynn plays its final show on October 10. If you loved it for the big water-and-spectacle moments and want something similar to book next, WOW – The Vegas Spectacular is still running at the Rio and is a natural next show on a family trip.
