Best Answer
"Lie awake" has the connotation of attempting to sleep, but failing.
"Stay awake" implies that being awake is the plan.
However, if your goal is to communicate a great time, I would use something like this:
Soon, we will stay up all night, talking and laughing until dawn
This has the connotation, at least in U.S. English, of a fun time. Stay awake is close in strict meaning, but the cultural implications are less fun. It's not wrong, per se, just not as strong.
