| - If dirty, raunchy, sexy humor combined with death-defying displays of dance, gymnastics and strength are your thing...you have to experience Absinthe! Definitely NOT FOR THE EASILY OFFENDED! There are f-bombs galore, along with graphic penis, pussy and sex jokes...so this is NOT FOR THE KIDS! No one is safe, especially if you are in the front row VIP sections- which, in my opinion, is the only way to go!
The stage is even smaller and more intimate now than in years past. You are literally right there with the performers. I went for the first time a few years ago and was blown away. Last month, I took two friends and they laughed hysterically at all the off-color jokes and ohhh'd and ahhh'd at the spellbinding physical feats.
Currently, they have a new Gazillionaire, and he is just as funny as the previous one. Penny is still there too as the horny, sex-obsessed side-kick. The Green Fairy, aka Melody Sweets, descends from the ceiling and does a little burlesque, which is quite appropriate given that Absinthe was referred to historically as "la fée verte" (green fairy).
The acts range from the water splashing bathtub gymnastics of a hot guy from Berlin to two dudes from Los Angeles who do an amazing tap dance routine to a roller skating couple who do outrageous spins (and if you're in the front row, the girl's wheels zip right in front of your face). There is also an BDSM looking girl in black who literally makes a giant bubble and goes all the way into it. And as we have come to expect on these types of shows, you also get the hot, muscular gymnasts from Eastern Europe who exercise amazing balance and control.
Take my advice and splurge on the VIP tickets. But be prepared for lesbian jokes if you're a group of girls, Republican jokes if you're white and conservatively dressed, gay jokes and some hair-tussling if you're a hot guy, and if you're Asian- you might be selected to judge the Dance Off- a nerdy white guy selected from the audience and a black guy. If you're the lucky Asian girl selected - and that was me a few years back when I was a brunette - you get to judge the winner by grabbing his penis. All participants get a free shot of Absinthe after the show!
Wikipedia says that Absinthe was scheduled to run until 2016, but it's obviously 2017 and they are still going strong. The tent is just outside the Caesar's Palace main casino doors and to your right. VIP tickets come with a green phone booth entry (photo op) and a split of champagne for each ticket holder. Currently, this runs $169 pp.
