    This was a great and fun show! It was super raunchy with dirty humor, but my friends and I had a blast and were laughing so hard during the Gazillionaire's roast of the audience and his assistant's wild story telling. There's amazing acrobatic performances and the hour and a half flew by fast. I loved the intimate tent setting and no seat is a bad seat. The chairs are, however, uncomfortable and seated very closely together. There are bar waitresses who walk around and can also take your drink order, but we had already bought drinks from the outside bar to bring inside. The tent is located by Hell's Kitchen and Caesar's Palace Valet.

    I've wanted to see this show for a very, very long time but for some reason or another, I just never got around to it. When I was first hyped for it (watching Holly Madison's reality show), I didn't live in Vegas yet, so when I moved here I planned to go, but like most locals, I try to avoid the Strip. Well, it was worth the wait. The show is fun and entertaining and there were parts where I was laughing so hard, I thought I'd need my inhaler. While you may have seen some of the circus acts on tv or in other shows, this show does all of that stuff up close and personal, so the risk feels even more intense. With that being said, the chairs are jam packed tight in here and it was quite uncomfortable to be sitting there for an hour and a half. The best part of this show was the Gazillionaire and Wanda. Wanda was raunchy and crazy and I love her. So freaking funny. This is a good show and a great way to spend an evening on the Las Vegas Strip.

    Good times

    Best show ever ! The cast and the crew were phenomenal!! It was a great mixture of acts from, comedians to juggling acts, it was THE BEST! So much funny sh*€. This show is expensive at about $251 per person but it's worth it. However every seat is a good seat, you will be able to see everything due to an elevated stage and so many tricks up in the air. My favorite was the comedian and his assistant named Wendy, I think... they were soooo freakin FUNNY! All of the acts were outstanding, including the pole dance. You guys have to see this show!!!

    WOW!! What a unique and extremely entertaining show! I've seen many shows in Vegas and while they've all been great, I can honestly say this show is different than the rest. One could say it is the most "Vegas" show on the strip. What does that mean? Well, it's very adult for one. While there isn't nudity per se, there's a moment where it comes VERY close. There is also very foul and sexual language throughout so maybe don't bring children (not sure if you're allowed to anyway). That being said, there are some amazing acrobatics and talent in this show that come close to, if not surpass, Cirque de Sole. Also, they like to interact with the audience, especially in the first couple of rows so if you don't wanna be called n, don't get those seats. Speaking of seats, this show is done in a kind of circus tent and the seats (and stage) are all in a circle so there really isn't any bad seats as it's not that big of a space. DEFINITELY check this show out if you're looking for a unique and adult-type of show.

    You have to go -'get your pregame on then go- the seats are good everywhere you sit. I sit in the middle - the mc will look for people in the stands to make fun of ... The acrobats are phenomenal - they are incredible physically . Ripped - the guys are shredded and the ladies are on fire - better call 911 with the gorgeous ladies .. One more reason to go. The outside has small food trucks , and drinks . It's worth the visits when you go to Vegas .. Hunt for tickets for the prices are reasonable - yet can be had cheaper .. it's the fees that kill you- the show is worthwhile

    Raunchy yet clever, circus but burlesque, and thoroughly unapologetic to anyone it might offend, soak or embarrass along the way. Running two shows a day, 365 days a year, with additional times on weekends, one might assume Absinthe has run its course. Obviously in a city happy to tear down and rebuild at the first signs of slowing that would be incorrect, and on a random Monday in May of 2026 the show remains all the elements that made it a hit.

    Happy 2026! As a local I don't venture too much to The Strip, however, it's always nice to try new things. I've heard of this show many times but really had no idea what it was about nor did I want to spoil it by knowing too much. Outside of Caesar's across from Hell's Kitchen is this cool looking tent where this show is played. We sat in section 3 row F and were super happy with our seats but we also think you could get a great experience from all angles since it's a cozy space. Without giving too much detail just know you're in for a lot of laughs, some dirty talk, and amazing acts! My group was extremely happy with the show and we would love to come back! Side note: there's drinks available before you enter the venue as well as inside. also during the show I've noticed they come around frequently if you ever wanted to order something at your seat. Do not miss the regular star shaped tater tots for $6! Amazing portion and yummy! You can bring the food in. Have fun!

    Great show! Small intimate venue, uniquely decorated. Hilarious host and co-host. The performers were awesome. Loved it. Would recommend. Would go again.

    Absinthe was incredible! Had something for all adults, also was happy to insult all adults Incredible stunts, athleticism, witt, art & comedy. My only knock is that the seats were uncomfortable & you were in trouble if someone tall sat in front of you. Overall this is a must see / experience

    It was one of the best show in vegas in my opinion 15 years ago when we first watched it and still is after watching it today. It was slightly have different acts from then & now but surely is still good as before. The venue is very intimate, no bad seat wherever you're sitting. We actually have three tickets but one was separated, Emmilia was able to moved us so we can be seated all together. They serve drinks during the show. They have servers that walks around to take your drink order for your convenience. They also interact with the audience which makes it really fun! Over all, the show is really good! makes an hour and half goes by so fast! Definitely a must see show!

    We had a fun time here at this bawdy and raunchy burlesque and vaudeville show. Depending on your age, you will remember some of the acts from a few years/decades back but is now upgraded to today's sense of humor. Some people might be offended but most will laugh til they cry. If you are prudish, then you may want to skip this show. There are ladies on poles for the men and scantily clothed men for the ladies in the audience. The acrobatics are amazing! If you are hungry before the show or after, then you should try No Pants restaurant in the attached Green Fairy Garden in the front of Caesars Palace. They claim that they have the best burgers on the Strip. I thought so. The garden area is a nice place to dine at with a great view of Caesars Palace and The Tree in the Garden. "Absinthe" recently celebrated its 12 anniversary at Caesars Palace, and remains the must-do show in Las Vegas. We loved it because we could escape from the real world for a couple of hours and laugh ourselves silly.

    Almost time for the show!
    Joe F.

    Best show in Vegas! Admittedly, I've only seen a dozen or so other shows and mostly Cirque du Soleil, but Absinthe has everything you could want in a show! It's a raunchy comedy with a slight burlesque feel and has incredible acrobatic acts, while taking place on a small stage in a carnival tent. Every performance I've seen which has felt like an incredibly intimate experience! I've been 3 times in 11 years and I'm already looking forward to my next trip to Vegas!

    Drink menu at all bars outside & inside

    I'm embarrassed that as Vegas locals we just saw Absinthe for the first time last night. This show is PHENOMENAL! The comedic dialogue had our stomachs hurting from the constant laughter, the variety of talented performers had us in complete awe, and the raunchiness made it feel like the old "Sin City" that Vegas was once notorious for being. Service was also impeccable; every person that worked at Absinthe was so friendly & bubbly. There are two bars located in the courtyard outside as well as a bar inside the tent. Once inside, there are waitresses walking around to take your order & bring drinks. People have brought up that the seating is uncomfortable, which is absolutely true. The seats are hard and super duper close together, but once the show started, we were so intrigued that we weren't even focused on the uncomfortable seats. There are also no restrooms on-site, so make sure you use the facilities near Hell's Kitchen or inside Caesar's Palace before heading into the garden area for Absinthe. Of all the shows I've seen in Vegas and other cities, I think Absinthe is hands down my favorite one. We were genuinely sad when it ended; we could've easily enjoyed another 30-45 minutes of this variety act. I will make one small complaint though; we were sat in Section 1, Row K, Seats 31 & 32, while we loved the extra legroom in this row and we had a terrific view of the entire tent, there was a lighting rig hanging from the ceiling that did unfortunately impede our view for some of the performances that took place up high in the center of the ring. Not a big deal, but had we known we would've chosen the seats to the left of ours for a perfectly clear view. Note: Although we absolutely adored Absinthe, we did see an older couple angrily leave during one of the raunchier dialogues. If swear words, sexual references, and very near nudity offend you, this is definitely not the show for you. If you're someone who enjoys endless laughs, amazing acrobatic performances, and are not easily offended then definitely go enjoy an evening at Absinthe; you won't regret it!

    The outdoor courtyard is so cool!

    Ask the Community - Absinthe

    Best Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas?

    This is very subjective, they are all good. Maybe LOVE, but I think it is closing so see it soon

    Have six in our group and it looks like only the farther back seats are available and we usually like to go all in with the best experience for shows, are back seats worth it?

    YES! There truly are no bad seats in this venue. Just know you will be sitting elbow to elbow, which contributes to the intimate experience!

    Is there air conditioning inside and a bar inside it's so hot right now we're worried lol?

    Yes to both questions. There's a bar just inside the entrance to the tent and the tent is kept cold inside

    Thinking of taking some business partners to the show, but they want to stay away from the "strip club" entertainment. Is there nudity? On what level should we expect?

    There's two ladies in pasties. Otherwise everyone performs in carnival like costumes.

    Can a 17yr old attend the show?

    It is adult oriented show. It would be your decision. Cursing and sexual innuendos.

    Are the seats good anywhere in the tent? Looking at seating in the Green Fairy Gallery area. Thanks!

    The theatre is so small you can sit anywhere and the seats are great. If you sit right up front, be prepared to get picked on and wet!

    Is this a 2 hour show?

    Just about make sure you go to the bathroom before the show starts you won't want to miss any of it. I've seen the show 8 times and it's different each time I've gone

    Directions to show?

    If you are inside the casino you can go towards the lobby and out the glass doors. Entrance to right (you can see the Tent or around the corner for their box office.)

    What's the camera situation? Can I bring good camera so long as I don't use flash? Can I bring a camera with interchangeable lens (not that i'd be changing lenses during show, just sometimes thats defined as 'professional' even tho I am amateur)

    You can take pictures, you just can’t use the flash.

    Do they change up the acts often? I saw the show in March 2018. I'd like to see it again in March 2019, but not if all of the acts are the same.

    I think maybe the acts change but not sure how often. But the comedic dialogue between acts has been the same for 3 years. I was just there Feb 7th and I came home and watched some recorded YouTube clips of past shows and it was the same exact jokes… Read more

    Where can I find cheaper tickets?

    Vegas.com has cheaper tickets but they randomly assign your seats. Sometime Travelzoo has them but I haven't seen anything for this year.

    How are the seats with tables right by the stage?

    There are a few seats with tables up close around stage and you won't miss much. That includes having good lighting to be picked on a bit by stage performers. Not to mention some possible sweat as they are working hard up there.… Read more

    Can you order drinks?

    Hello Michelle! Thank you for your inquiry. Yes drinks can be purchased inside the tent.

    Do they pull you onstage?

    Yes and they will offer to "upgrade" you better seats if you meet their criteria. When entering the tent the people in front of me showed their tickets and went to their seats, no offer of an "upgrade". I'm black and was offered but declined because… Read more

    Can u get tix at box office before the show? Do they ever discount them if show not as out?

    Don't even try that. This is the best show on the strip. All seats are good seats but to get great seats go VIP. You must order early as this show constantly sells out.

    Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

As MOH, I planned the party and spent a lottt of time going through reviews on Yelp and Reddit bc there was a lot of pressure to find the best option and decide for the group. Many reviews of the bigger shows said the performers had been doing it for so long that they looked like they were just going through the motions.. that the acts were unimpressive.. that the theater was so big you could only see the tricks on a screen, or that it was overpriced. After all my research, I'm SO glad I decided on Frederic -- the bride said this magic show was her favorite part of the trip!! (and we went to Tao dayclub the day before lol) :) I love that it was in a small, intimate theater, so that you were up close no matter where you sat. And there was SO much audience interaction -- our bride even caught a frisbee and got to go on stage -- which was fun and helped make it even more special for her. The mentalism was such a cool departure from traditional physical magic tricks -- we all loved it and had many *gasp* moments. We even got to meet Frederic after, and he performed more mentalism up close, which was cool. HIGHLY recommend this show!! (Also, it was $30/ticket, which is a price you cannot beat in Vegas)

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop wondering how he was doing any of it. Mat Franco is probably best known for winning Season 9 of America's Got Talent and now performs his residency, Magic Reinvented Nightly, at The LINQ in Las Vegas. I don't want to say too much because part of the fun is experiencing it for yourself. What I loved most was how much he interacted with the audience. It didn't feel like he was just performing at the crowd. He involved people throughout the show and made the entire room feel part of the experience.

Seeing magic on TV is one thing, but seeing it happen right in front of you is mind-blowing. If you've ever been curious about magic or wanted to see a Vegas show that's different from the typical concerts and productions, I would definitely recommend this one. I left amazed and still thinking about some of the tricks afterward.

I couldn't believe that they made such nice accommodations for us! Mat Franco is very engaging and very family oriented. We enjoyed his magic show, which is family friendly. You could hear the kids let out oooohs and aaaahs throughout the show. We highly recommend this very entertaining show.

    Date of visit: January 2, 2026…read more Absinthe is one of my favorite shows on The Strip, so I was really excited to give the Atomic Saloon Show a try, though I will admit the poster does not really prepare you for this show. Absinthe's poster really gives you a better idea of what you are going to see, whereas Atomic Saloon's poster looks more akin to a unisex Thunder Down Under when it's really more R-rated Hee Haw. The loose story involves a brothel and a host of characters that interact with the facility and its matriarch but the comedy is really where it's at. From the Irish dancers with questionable teeth (when the bread started flying I could not stop laughing!) to the various aerial feats displayed, Atomic Saloon has a little bit of everything though it's not for the faint of heart--several people in our section left a few minutes into the show. As much fun as we had, the seats on the second floor are not great and you end up missing some of the action. Even more disappointing was that there were quite a few empty seats on the main level, and it would have made for an even better show if we had been given the opportunity to move forward like we did at OPM, another Spiegelworld show that used to run at Cosmopolitan.

    Absolutely spectacular! This is hands down the best show in Vegas…read more My family and I booked this show for a Saturday night with no knowledge of what it would be like and were simply amazed. We had seen the Cirque du Soleil Show "O" before and this just does not even compare. I recommend getting seats in the center, facing the middle of the stage, as close to the front row as possible. Sitting in this section immerses yourself into the show. Logistically, this is a great venue. It is located in Treasure Island. It is in the back of the casino. Although there are signs throughout the casino leading you there, it is quite easy to get turned around on your way there. Once you find it, it is simple to enter. Use the restroom before you get in though because it is located outside of the theater! We arrived around 20 minutes prior to showtime and had no wait at all to enter. They offer commemorative photos for purchase, which we declined. There was no security which surprised me. There were no metal detectors or bag searches. Inside the theater, there is a large concessions stand with snacks and drinks. Even close to show time, there was no line there either. They have a lot of staff available to guide you to your seats - it's very efficient. The seats were actually very comfortable. They were soft, spacious, and had a lot of leg room. Even though there were no lines for anything, you absolutely need to get there early. The "show" starts before is set time as there is a comedic character that hilariously interacts with the crowd. This is a must-see and had everyone cracking up with the unexpectedness of it. The show itself is pure spectacle. It is a bizarre exhibition of talent and creativity. You will see everything from trapeze, contortion, acrobatics, dance, balancing acts, comedy, and live music from an orchestra, band, and singers. Seeing these athletes push the limits of what the human body can do in such a beautiful manner is incredibly thrilling. The costumes are beautiful and the sets are amazing. Every scene change and act is so unexpected and really leave you at the edge of your seat. You quite literally have to keep your eyes peeled open to make sure you don't miss anything. There are so many different things happening at once all across the stage, on the floor, the ceiling, and even along the walls and walkways of the audience. There is no clear plot so you may find yourself sitting there trying to figure out what it all means. Some people may find this boring but it truly makes the whole thing more fascinating. There is an obvious intention behind every little thing, it is just unclear what it is. It is truly a mystery. I have recommended this show to everyone I know and I would love to see it again!

    This show has been running for 30 years, and it kind of shows. Although I'm sure the acrobatic acts…read morehave changed over the years to keep it fresh, it's still entertaining, though not as grandiose as other Cirque shows. Most of the show is nonsensical, so don't look for a plot. Something to consider if you think to yourself, I've seen this before, the fact that the show HAS been running for 30+ years means those other shows stole it from this one. Logistically, I had to pick up the tickets at will call, and when I arrived 35 minutes before show time, the line to get in was already snaking through the casino. While I panicked a little, the line moved super fast when they opened the doors. I didn't need to get into that long line. An important thing to remember, if you pick up your tickets at Will Call, you need some ID and the credit card you used to buy them. I was lucky I bought them online the night before, while I was already in Vegas, but I often use a different credit card when buying from home. So to cum up, depending on your taste, this show represents the original Cirque du Soleil concepts, and that's what you'll see.
