Just returned from Las Vegas last night. While in town, I attended the Absinthe show at Caesars. As long as you're not offended by foul language (i.e. Fbombs aplenty) or by totally non-PC humor, I highly recommend this show. I have not laughed that hard, nor for that long, for a long time. The acrobatic, musical, and dance components, plus feats of human strength are an added bonus, but the real forte of the show is the humor. Just flat-out funny. The "gazillionaire" and his assistant Penny play a large role and both are extremely talented comdians - and very adept at ad-libbing.
We purchased the VIP tickets which get you a free drink and 1st-row seating. If you opt for the VIP tickets, be forewarned - you will be a part of the show in some way, shape or form. That is a lot of fun, but if you're not the type that can handle the rest of the audience laughing at and with you, then choose the less expensive seats. It's a small venue, so all of the seats are good. Sitting in the front row was a little tough on the neck, since you have to look up quite a bit to watch the acts. In the front row, you are very up close and personal with the performers, and during some of the acrobatic and high-wire acts, I found myself strategizing on which way I was going to dive in order to avoid getting crushed if one or more of the performers took a fall.
H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S !!!
