Absinthe is a raunchy, intimate circus-comedy show performed in a spiegeltent outside Caesars Palace, hosted by the foul-mouthed Gazillionaire.
Highlights
- Close-up acrobatics on a tiny stage
- Adult comedy
- Intimate, circular tent
- High-energy pace
Seeing it during race week
Most shows run in the evening, so on race week the best options are an early show on Thursday or Friday before the track sessions, or any evening if you are not attending that day. Many shows have dark days — check the schedule first.
