Absinthe in a word was "Incredible"!! If Cirque du Soleil had a funny, acid dropping uncle, he would be Absinthe. From the moment the show began I was in awe of the acrobatic skills of the performers and laughing my ass off at The Gazillionaire and his cast of co-stars. Amazingly most of the show took place on a circular stage that measured about 8 feet across and is housed in a tent in front of Caesar's Palace.
The Gazillionaire and his side-kick Penny are the stars of the show and provide most of the comedic moments and they play off of each other quite well. Between the Gazillionaire's jabs at the audience and Penny's wacky rants you'll belly-laugh throughout the show. The acrobatic feats on stage are easily on the level you would see at any Cirque show on the strip. The women in the audience seemed to appreciate the young, muscular acrobats performing onstage. The fact is I think my wife had "chick-wood" through most of the show.
Seriously, the whole show was spectacular and I would highly recommend it to anyone who isn't offended by four letter words, nearly bare breasts, dude's bulges, female audience members "motor boating" each other or a unicorn with a black shlong in place of its horn! Enjoy!!
