| - I've seen several shows in Vegas and although this doesn't have the grandeur of watching a multi-million dollar spectacle like O or Ka, you will leave amazed by the acrobatics. Plus, your stomach will be sore the next day from laughing so much.
I can honestly say I haven't had this much fun at a show in a LONG time. The mixture of crazy acrobatics with raunchy, offensive humor makes this a must see show!
My better half and I went during the Labor Day weekend so yes, this review is a bit late, but I seriously remember this show like it was just yesterday. I wanted to see something different during our Vegas trip and not another $150/ticket Cirque show. I read the reviews for Absinthe, which were all fantastic, and the price was VERY reasonable. We got a couple of the VIP tickets which was great and all, but really not that necessary. The theater is pretty small so you will get a good seat regardless of where you sit, but if you want to feel important then pay the extra $20 for VIP. You'll need to say some pretty humiliating things to enter the VIP area but once you're there, you can hang out in the lounge and order up some adult beverages. You'll also gain access to the theater earlier so you can sit up close and personal.
Once you're inside, you become immersed in the world of Absinthe! You'll be in awe of some of the acts, and you'll laugh so hard at some of the highly inappropriate jokes. You'll see a little bit of boobage and you'll fall in love with the host and co-host, but not in a Care Bears endearing way. Their sense of humor will have you laughing like a hyena.
The show was so good that my better half wanted to take her girlfriends a few weeks later (they were coming to Vegas for a bachelorette party). Unfortunately, the show took a bit of a hiatus during that time but it will be back very soon.
Look out for coupons and save yourself a few bucks, but even if you don't land any, just pay the regular price... it's worth it. They say laughter is good medicine and I was cured of all my ailments after leaving that show!
