Absinthe

Voted by Las Vegas Weekly as the "#1 greatest show in Las Vegas history," Absinthe takes place in Spiegelworld's custom circus tent on the Roman Plaza, right outside Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip. Now in its fifteenth year, the show is hosted by the filthy-rich (and just plain filthy) Gazillionaire and inspired by the absinthe-drenched cabarets of late 19th-century Europe — an intoxicating cocktail of circus, burlesque, and vaudeville for a 21st-century audience. As The New York Times put it: "Imagine Cirque du Soleil as channeled through The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Performers from around the world mix outrageous comedy with jaw-dropping feats of virtuosity and danger on the most intimate stage in Las Vegas. The air-conditioned 585-seat Spiegeltent sits within the Green Fairy Garden, a lively outdoor complex featuring multiple bars including the Pier 17 Yacht Club speakeasy, the Absinthe Electric Oak® art installation with over 30,000 programmable LED leaves, and food from No Pants Burgers and Tots. The show runs approximately 90 minutes with no intermission and is strictly for ages 18 and above. The Roman Plaza is ADA compliant; access to the tent is step-free, with wheelchair and transfer seats in Sections 1–3 (rows A–H) and 10 dedicated wheelchair spaces.
