| - Abstract: Best fucking show in Las Vegas, period.
I have seen Absinthe only on two occasions: once when they were in their original run (it was actually their last week of shows when they could not do any "aerial" acts because the rain had sunken the roof of their tent) and once since they moved on to the permanent structure.
Spiegelworld, or the area surrounding the venue now, really sucks in comparison to their original set-up. Before you could hang out outside before the show and it felt like you were at a carnival (minus the annoying carnies); now it is like you are outside any concrete slab in any sports venue in the nation.
Other than that, and the loss of the speed skating acrobats (that moved to Vegas The Show @ V Theatre in Planet Hollywood), the show is not much different. There seems to more seating, and I guess the Gazillionaire says the dreaded F-word a lot less (fag, not fuck)(I read somewhere that they were not going to be saying it at all anymore, but I cannot recall if they did or did not because I was laughing so vivaciously to the stand-up).
In regards to language: some people cannot bring down their morality shield and hear a couples of fs, cs, and some more fs. Nothing wrong with that; it is your life. Don't go to this show. Go to church instead. Go to Veggie Tales the next time they are ripping people off at Canyon Ridge. Go to a Justin Bieber gig.
You've been warned. - E
Postscript. The Gazillionaire and Penny's stand-up should be shown as a litmus for anyone flying or driving in to our lovely city. If the individual does not laugh and find them funny, they should be informed they cannot be permitted into Las Vegas. Instead they should be re-routed or given new driving directions to SLC, UT.
