The House of Dancing Water celebrates 5th anniversary with special promotion

The House of Dancing Water celebrates 5th anniversary with special promotion

The House of Dancing Water has been heralded as one of the most impressive shows in Asia and celebrates its fifth anniversary this year. The water-based stage production is the brainchild of veteran Vegas show-maker Franco Dragone and combines a modern East-meets-West fable with high-wire acrobatics and breathtaking stunts. Built atop a custom-built 3.7 million gallon pool in the City of Dreams casino complex at a cost of $2 billion, Dragone’s multi-sensory spectacle is the most expensive stage production ever commissioned in Macau. The show features over 77 performers including high divers, acrobats, contortionists, motorcycle stuntmen and scuba divers; while eleven massive, computer-controlled, underwater elevators convert the enormous pool into a hard-topped stage in less than one minute. Ethereal and elemental, the artistry and sheer athleticism at The House of Dancing Water combined with its billion-dollar budget, means that you can expect something spectacular. FIFTH ANNIVERSARY PROMOTION (Offer ends December 15, 2015) Purchase a B reserve ticket and enjoy a free upgrade to A reserve. In addition, ticket holders are automatically entered in a prize draw with the chance to win one of 555 great prizes including a luxury Costa Cruise package for four, Nikon DLSR cameras, hotel stays, food and beverage tokens and show souvenirs. To purchase tickets and get in on the offer, call 800 900 783 (Hong Kong toll free) or visit thehouseofdancingwater.com.
