Overview
Absinthe is not for the easily offended — and that is exactly why it is one of the most popular shows in Las Vegas. Performed in a vintage-style Spiegeltent at Caesars Palace.
The show is hosted by a foul-mouthed, quick-witted emcee who roasts audience members between acts. The acrobatic performances are genuinely stunning.
Absinthe has been running since 2011 and has become a cultural phenomenon. It is the show that locals recommend to visitors who want something edgy and memorable.
