Awakening Brings Wow Factor<br />
By: Dianne Davis / That’s Entertainment<br />
Awakening at the Wynn is an 80 minute<br />
dazzling production with the Wow factor. You<br />
will find yourself immersed in a mythical world<br />
where the heroine and her somewhat comedic helpers are on a quest.<br />
They must confront the forces of Darkness to bring Light back to the<br />
world. Through their adventures, Awakening explores the relationship<br />
between Light and Darkness.<br />
But this show isn’t about plot. This spectacular<br />
five star presentation is a treat for all your senses<br />
with every element that you want in a Vegas<br />
production. With 1,600 seats, (the farthest 75 feet<br />
from center stage) every seat has an unobstructed<br />
view.<br />
This is theater at its finest with groundbreaking<br />
technology, incredible sound, a talented cast, original music,<br />
and multiple levels of action. The choreography maximizes the visuals<br />
that fill the 60-foot 360 degree prismatic rotating stage.<br />
The 300 costumes are colorful, creative, and unique. The dance<br />
includes multiple variations.<br />
Creatures come down from the top of the room, sometimes<br />
animatronic figures sometimes imagery - the result of lighting and<br />
other unimaginable technology. The large-scale puppetry has audience<br />
members wondering whether they are seeing a robot, person, illusion,<br />
or video.<br />
The original musical score balances tone and vibe. No earplugs<br />
needed, but you hear everything clearly thanks to the custom sound<br />
system at every seat creating a 3-D sound effect. Comfortable padded<br />
assures that vertically challenged people sitting behind six-footers can<br />
still see everything.<br />
The outstanding cast of 60 includes dancers, singers, acrobats, and<br />
magicians, plus puppets and projected characters. Beyond the dancing,<br />
are gyrations on the flexible balance beam, baton<br />
and fire twirling aerial gymnastics. There’s magic<br />
and extraordinary creatures that will take your<br />
breath away.<br />
The show holds the kids’ attention along with<br />
all others. Awakening is a modern age theatrical<br />
experience with the most advanced technology,<br />
incredible physical facility, and talented<br />
performers. It’s Las Vegas!<br />
There are locals’ specials until the end of September - tickets starting<br />
at $79 and VIP packages. Call 702/770-4469. Mention SUMR<strong>23</strong>.<br />
Tickets can be purchased at Awakening.com or visit the Wynn Box<br />
Office.<br />

was with a good friend and she started<br />
I comparing how her husband treated her before<br />
and after her marriage. I told a Tech Support<br />
friend and he sent me this<br />
analogy of marriage from a Tech Support point of view.<br />
Dear Tech Support: Last year I upgraded from<br />
Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct<br />
slowdown in overall system performance, particularly<br />
in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated<br />
flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.<br />
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other<br />
valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention<br />
6.5, Personal Appearance 8.5 and Personal Hygiene 7.0.<br />
He installed undesirable programs such as: NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0, and<br />
Girls Gone Wild 7.5. Sadly Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and<br />
House Cleaning 2.6 and Taking Out The Garbage 4.0 simply crash<br />
the system.<br />
Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 and Sweet Talk<br />
7.2 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?<br />

Tech Support Response: First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0<br />
is a “Limited Entertainment Package”, while Husband 1.0 is a<br />
20<br />
Dear Tech Support<br />
September 20<strong>23</strong><br />
“Permanent Operating System.”<br />
Please enter command: I thought you loved me .html and try to<br />
download Tears 6.2. Do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.<br />
If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then<br />
automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.<br />
However, remember, overuse of the Tears application<br />
can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence<br />
2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1.<br />
Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that<br />
will download Snoring Loudly Beta version.<br />
Whatever you do, DO NOT, under any circumstances,<br />
install Mother-In-Law 1.0 as it runs in the background<br />
that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.<br />
In addition, please do not attempt to re-install the Boyfriend 5.0<br />
program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband<br />
1.0.<br />
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have<br />
limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You<br />
might consider buying additional software to improve memory and<br />
performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0.<br />
