“What we show you is devious,” says Chris ­Drumm-Coombs, head of aquatics at Le Rêve – The Dream, the acrobatic-meets-water ­performance held at the Wynn Las Vegas resort in Nevada. “We reveal not tricks, but tricks of the trade — it’s not a magic show.”

Open-water-certified guests can sign up for the Diver’s Dream experience with a price tag of $1,750 for one person or $2,450 for two (included is a two-night stay). After watching the ­illusions and stunts of the 75-minute ­spectacle from dry, VIP seating, visitors join the team for a ­behind-the-scenes tour.

The real secrets happen in the 1.1-million-gallon pool, where 93 athletes work five nights a week. Guests get an orientation dive before the big show; when the music starts, they’re ready for an immersive experience that takes place throughout the entire underwater stage.

Divers watch synchronized swimmers, safety divers catching aerial stunt performers as they land following free-falls from 80 feet above, and more. Says Drumm-Coombs, “I choreograph the experience for guests so they see all the really cool stuff.”
