| - My husband and I loved "Absinthe"! It was a great show to see on my birthday yesterday. There were many "WOW!" moments and lots of laughs. The show has raunchy comedy, amazing acrobatics, sexy performers, a death-defying roller skating act and a touch of burlesque. We went to a Tix 4 Tonight booth to get discount seats the day of the show, but it would have been an incredible experience even if we'd paid full price.
There were warnings about the raunchiness of the humor in other reviews, and the jokes were sexual and vulgar, but it was all in fun. (If you've ever been to a burlesque show, you've probably heard similarly blue-tinged humor.) The host (The Gazillionaire) and his assistant (Penny) were hilarious and had a great dynamic. They were ideal comic foils for each other.
The show is in a circus-style tent in front of Caesar's Palace and has fun, eclectic decor inside. The seats are folding wooden chairs set up in-the-round facing a small stage. The space is intimate for a Vegas show, so if you need a bit more personal space, try to get an aisle seat. You'll be right up against your neighbor. I was worried the chairs would be uncomfortable, but they were fine, especially if you have a coat to sit on. We were seated toward the back and had a great view of nearly every act.
Bonus: No line for the bar and very strong drinks.
I just wish the show were longer! I guess it's good to leave 'em wanting more. :)
