Le Rêve was the first production show to open in the Wynn Las Vegas casino resort. It is set in a one million-gallon (water) capacity theater and features diving and feats of strength with state-of-the-art special effects, where no seat is more than 40 feet (12 m) from the stage. The production was created by Franco Dragone and is similar to the shows produced by Cirque du Soleil. Dragone, who was the director behind O, La Nouba, Mystère, Alegría and Quidam, has not revealed the cost of the production. However, major Las Vegas shows average around $30 to $40 million to produce.
Le Rêve was the working name of the resort before it was changed to Wynn Las Vegas. "Le Rêve" means "The Dream" in French, and is the name of the centerpiece painting that Steve Wynn owns, Le Rêve by Picasso.
Each member of the cast must become scuba-certified before performing in the theater.
