I really didn't expect to like this show, since it's such a small production compare to other shows in Vegas. I've seen every single Cirque du Soleil's shows in Vegas, and didn't think this show would be able to compare. But I was wrong, this show is very very good. The intimacy of the tent and small stage really made the show better in a lot of ways, which I wasn't expecting at all.
Being a long time Cirque du Soleil fan, I really hate to say this. Even though the Cirque du Soleil's shows are all incredible, if you are only seeing one show in Vegas, make it Absinthe. If you can't handle the mildly offensiveness of this show, then Vegas just isn't a great vacation destination for you.
