Absinthe
The Spiegeltent at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas
Voted by Las Vegas Weekly as the "#1 greatest show in Las Vegas history," Absinthe is Spiegelworld's flagship production, now in its fifteenth year at Caesars Palace. The show takes place inside a custom, air-conditioned 585-seat Spiegeltent — a European-style mirror tent — erected on the Roman Plaza right outside Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip. Directed by Wayne Harrison with choreography by Lucas Newland, the performance blends jaw-dropping acrobatics, burlesque, vaudeville-style comedy, and audience interaction, all hosted by the eccentric Gazillionaire character. Every show is slightly different, with a rotating mix of acts and performers, including aerial stunts, contortionists, and the enchanting Green Fairy. The production runs approximately 90 minutes and uses smoke and strobe lights. Strictly for ages 18 and above. The tent sits within the Green Fairy Garden, a lively outdoor complex featuring the Pier 17 Yacht Club speakeasy, No Pants Burgers and Tots food stand, and the Absinthe Electric Oak art installation with over 30,000 programmable LED leaves. The Garden is accessible from the east side of the Roman Plaza, directly across from Hell's Kitchen. The Roman Plaza is ADA compliant, with step-free access into the main showroom and wheelchair spaces throughout Sections 1–3. Tickets start at $135.04 (fees included); VIP table packages and Gazillionaire experience upgrades are also available.
