The Absinthe show, produced by Spiegelworld and staged since 2011 in a mirrored Spiegeltent outside Caesars Palace, delivers an electrifying blend of contemporary circus, burlesque, and raunchy comedy framed around a 90‑minute performance on a tiny circular stage set within an intimate 750‑seat venue. Hosted by the mischievous Gazillionaire and his cohort Joy Jenkins, the show has earned accolades—earning the title “Greatest Show in Vegas History”—thanks to its unpredictable lineup of jaw‑dropping acrobatics, shadow‑defying stunts, crowd participation, and edgy vignette humor.

Conceived as part of the burlesque revival, Absinthe brings a modern twist to vintage entertainment, merging skillful athletic performances—like aerial silk routines, contortion, and hula‑hoop dancing—with comedic elements reminiscent of bawdy vaudeville. Whether attended as part of a celebratory Vegas night or appreciated for its artistic daring, the show captivates visitors year‑round, with the adjacent Green Fairy Garden and hidden speakeasy elevating the overall experience into something truly immersive and theatrical.
