Absinthe, an imaginative combination of an adult circus, magical carnival and burlesque, will make its West Coast premiere Strip-side at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, beginning March 21.

This new production by internationally renowned Spiegelworld and BASE Entertainment will transform the Roman Plaza in front of Caesars Palace into an entertainment playground, including a maze of tents and early 20th Century European décor housing an adult carnival, complete with a secret speakeasy, raucous beer garden and mischievous drinking games including “Flip Stein” and “Champagne Pong.”

The Absinthe performances will take place in the centerpiece Spiegeltent, a heritage wooden show tent from Europe opulently decorated with mirrors, stained glass and velvet. The cast of eccentrics, presided over by The Gazillionaire, will evoke thrills and chills as they perform amazing feats of virtuosity within mere feet of the audience surrounding the intimate stage. Additional performers will include the Gazillionaire’s loyal assistant Penny, “The Green Fairy,” his butler Max, “The Weather Girl,” Princessa Fox-Anna and the Vestal Virgins, to name a few.
