5 Reasons To Revisit ‘ABSINTHE’


Daring burlesque variety show continues to amaze in 9th year…

Sin City entertainment was noticeably rocked when Spiegelworld‘s ABSINTHE arrived on the Strip. Opening on April Fool’s Day 2011, the naughty show at Caesars Palace was an immediate hit that continues to sell out nightly. With fourteen performances per week, that’s a lot of shock value to spread around.

If you haven’t seen ABSINTHE yet, it belongs at the top of your must-do list. And if it’s been awhile since you’ve visited host The Gazillionaire and potty-mouthed assistant Wanda Widdles, here are five reasons to return.

Improved Seating Options – the classic old-world charm of ABSINTHE’s Spiegeltent is accentuated by oddball decorations and makeshift furnishings. While they’re charmingly authentic, the rustic wooden chairs of its original decor sometimes made for cramped seating. Now you can choose from a selection of Premium View Tables, VIP Cushioned Seats, Dinner Packages and even a new Green Fairy Bottle Service.                                                                                                                                             12439358_1028690277196134_5189735788685160169_n

Celebrity Spotting – Take in a performance of ABSINTHE and chances are good that you’ll be sitting near someone famous. Celine Dion, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Adam Lambert and Queen, David Guetta, Imagine Dragon’s Dan Reynolds, Reba McEntire, Steve Aoki, Coolio, Joey Lawrence, Ice-T, Bobby Flay, James Franco, Steven Tyler, Olivia Newton-John and more have taken a seat on The Gazillionaire’s throne.                                                                                                                                             21314639_1483496035048887_2082414211414431212_n

Garden Parties – ABSINTHE resides within a beer garden that offers games, picnic tables, and of course….lots of alcohol. Ticketed guests are encouraged to hang out before and after each performance, but on occasion the venue is opened to all adults for free-of-charge special events. Food trucks, drinks specials and DJ’s create a street-party vibe that carries on well into the next morning.

The Electric Oak – In celebration of the show’s eight anniversary, a spectacular Electric Oak was “planted” in Absinthe’s courtyard. A towering 35 feet of art with over 120,000 LED “leaves”, the Electric Oak is a swirl of color, light and beauty that will transport you into a euphoric
