When Vegas Turns Magenta: Inside T‑Mobile’s Winners Circle
We’re continuing our celebration of 15 of bringing impossible ideas to life. Each month, we’re sharing stories that made us who we are today — 15 wonderful moments from the past 15 years that capture the magic, the challenges, and the unforgettable wins of the Proscenium journey.
This month, we’re taking a behind-the scenes-peak into one of our longest and most event-prolific clients: T-Mobile.
Can't Stop, Won't Stop
Over the years, we’ve partnered with T-Mobile on everything from an industry-leading F1 activation, to Un-carrier launches, to celebratory community-building events at high school football fields.
But when it comes to pure razzle-dazzle (the kind that rivals any Vegas show) one event stands out: T-Mobile Winners Circle in 2023, and we’re on our way back this year in 2026! Our Las Vegas productions can turn a recognition event into a Vegas spectacle, a once-in-a-lifetime experience for attendees.
Creating the Winners Circle
Winners Circle is T‑Mobile’s ultimate celebration. It’s a multi-day blowout that recognizes the company’s top performers with a generous dose of experiences they could never do on their own.
At the ARIA Resort, we created a world where celebration just kept building:
A vibrant Magenta Mixer social brought everyone together, with pulsating music and a direct view of a full takeover of T-Mobile Arena’s huge outdoor displays.
Waves of custom commemorative swag so attendees could wear their wins with pride.
An exclusive Town Hall with the Senior Leadership Team to connect in a rare forum for big thinking.
A full takeover of JEWEL Nightclub with stunning custom graphics.
And an awards evening where each winner crossed a stage with major wow factor - a massive 90’ wide production combined with unique screen configurations and dynamic LED pixel tubes evocative of 5G beams.
Spin to Win
A larger‑than‑life hologram slot machine, designed from the ground up by our creative team, lit up the central foyer and stopped passers-by in their tracks. Attendees grabbed the lever, took a spin, and found themselves immersed in pure T‑Mobile hologram magic — a blend of surprise, motion, and spectacle that was a new twist on a Vegas classic.
What Happens in Vegas - Turns Magenta
The celebration didn’t stop at the ARIA. For the grand finale, we transformed the T‑Mobile Arena into Club Magenta — a dazzling, high‑voltage wonderland that pulsed with energy and excitement.
Nitro smoke desserts and an LED cotton candy wall.
Glow dancers shimmering across the floor.
Immersive augmented reality effects that created talked-about and shareable moments.
DJ beats by William Lifestyle, keeping the crowd amped up.
If that wasn’t enough, the night hit its peak. SOFI TUKKER lit up the stage with an electric performance, followed by a show‑stopping set from NELLY, turning Club Magenta into the hottest club on the Strip, and only for T-Mobile’s biggest stars.
“T‑Mobile’s energy is contagious. We wanted every moment of Winners Circle to feel like a reward not just for their achievements, but for their spirit. The hologram slot machine was our way of capturing that feeling of ‘you never know what magic’s coming next.’”
Sam Port, Senior Creative Director, Proscenium
The result? A one‑of‑a‑kind experience that blended emotion, innovation, and pure celebration.
We’re so grateful to T‑Mobile, for the bold ideas, the fearless collaboration, and the unforgettable events that keep us dreaming bigger every year.
