Wynn Nightlife, Wynn Las Vegas’ premier nightlife brand, releases “The Year of Excess,” a cinematic short film conceived and produced entirely in-house. The film is an unfiltered embrace of the glamour, mayhem, and liveliness that makes Las Vegas legendary.
Narrated by Hollywood actor Rob Riggle, the film features 14 of the world’s most sought-after DJs inhabiting a world of indulgence across Wynn and Encore Las Vegas—alpacas on the golf course, workouts scaling the iconic rooftop, to champagne painted graffiti by an acclaimed artist, bath side caviar, and beyond. The short film features artists including Calvin Harris, The Chainsmokers, Marshmello, Diplo, Mau P,Hugel, Kaskade, ODESZA (DJ Set), SOFI TUKKER and many more.
The film emerges from a six month-long creative vision cultivated by the Wynn Nightlife creative marketing team. Conceptualized by Emilio Gonzales and Alex Schenberg, the work challenged the traditional residency announcement, elevating it into an innovative cinematic moment. “The Year of Excess” is the most expansive and daring expression of the philosophy — a world where glamour runs unchecked, ambition is amplified, and every moment feels larger than life.
“Wynn Nightlife has always believed that great entertainment speaks for itself. “The Year of Excess” is the purest expression of that belief, as a visual piece that celebrates our artists, our venues, and the city of Las Vegas,” said Ryan Jones, Senior Vice President of Wynn Nightlife. “Whether it brings people through our doors or simply reminds them why Las Vegas is unlike anywhere else in the world, that’s a win for all of us.”
Each artist scene channels the extravagance, vibrancy, and unapologetic energy that define Las Vegas at its most iconic, closing with the line, “Now go and be FABULOUS” a nod to the city’s official tagline and a tribute to XS Nightclub, whose influence has defined the nightlife scene and continues to echo as it steps into its next chapter.
“Following the launch of the cinematic piece, we hope “The Year of Excess” creates a feeling; One that honors its venues, the artists who define them, the city that inspires everything and an invitation to experience what comes next,” said Alex Schenberg, Creative Marketing of Wynn Nightlife.
