Event Details

For a Tuesday show on August 25, 2026, Absinthe is a strong choice when the goal is a polished production that still feels immediate and alive. The production alternates beautiful physical acts with vulgar comic interludes, creating a contrast that has become central to its modern Vegas identity. The best moments come from the tension between disciplined athletes executing beautiful work and hosts determined to make the surroundings feel gloriously improper.

Most chairs are intentionally eclectic and minimally padded, while elevated table options trade some immediacy for more comfort and a clearer overview. The production rewards guests willing to surrender to organized chaos rather than compare every number with a conventional musical, comedy club or family show.

Flashing lights, haze, moving lights and concert-level sound appear during high-intensity acts and may be overstimulating for guests with sensory sensitivities. The roughly 80-minute, no-intermission format makes the show easy to pair with dinner, but reservations should still include a buffer for exiting the busy Roman Plaza. Groups should compare every ticket before leaving for the venue, particularly when more than one performance is offered on the same date.

GREAT show. Our seats were in the back yet it wasn't sold out so we asked if we could be relocated and they put us in the second row with no qualms. First row and you're definitely going to be picked on. Wear thick skin. It's a tent but climate controlled with a bar and service. What a great show. Raunchy humor yet skillful acts. Definitely 18+.

We LOVED it! It's a little bit of everything! The performers are so talented & keep you engaged! If you are easily offended, this is not the place for you, but if you can take a joke, go see it! It's Funny! Sexual! Raunchy! Crazy! The venue is unique & well suited to the show. Loved the ambiance, & the drinks were fantastic!

Absinthe was a spectacular show with raunchy, fantastical, and awe-inspiring acts. The performers were incredibly talented and my friends who had been before noted that it was a different experience from their previous visit. One memorable act featured the green fairy girls performing on poles ten feet in the air, flying above the audience's heads. The close proximity made it feel like you could almost high five them. While some in the first two rows were heckled and some of the humor was a bit punchy, the overall supportive atmosphere and funny moments made up for it. I would definitely attend again. Arriving early allows for drinks and gambling at Caesar's, although make sure to bring a sweater as the tent entrance is outdoors. The bathrooms are located across the street. We opted for a ride share to Caesars, so I can't speak to the parking situation. Overall, Absinthe was a fantastic show that I would highly recommend experiencing.

Absolutely adored it! Absinthe offers a dynamic mix of talent that will captivate you from start to finish. This show is not for the faint of heart, but if you have a good sense of humor, it's a must-see! Prepare for a night filled with laughter, sensuality, and a touch of madness. The venue itself is one-of-a-kind and perfectly complements the show. The atmosphere is delightful, and the drink selection is top-notch. Can't wait to go back!

Be warned, Absinthe in Las Vegas is not for the faint of heart or conservative individuals. The show features explicit language and risqué humor, so be prepared for that if you attend. If you find yourself in the front row, be prepared to possibly become a target for some of the more explicit jokes. The seating at Absinthe can be a bit cramped and uncomfortable, and the floor plan may not accurately reflect the seat locations. Despite these drawbacks, the show itself is fun and incredibly entertaining. In my opinion, the front row seats may not be worth the high price tag, so consider opting for cheaper seats where you can still enjoy the show just as much.

I've been to a good deal of Vegas shows during all of my travels to the city and this is among my favorite! Always great performances by a stellar cast! The atmosphere and overall aesthetic of both the outdoor and indoor areas is lovely. Don't forget to search for the secret entrance and hidden speakeasy! Great for date night or just a fun solo or group outing. Highly recommended!

I loved this so much, I can’t believe we just found out this existed! Truly spectacular to see, feels like something you could only see in Vegas and the fact they pull it off in such a tiny space was incredible. It’s VERY raunchy, about 75% of the jokes are funny even if off colored, but about 25% add nothing to the show and feel forced/ like they’re only being said for shock value. It’s a very small space so know ahead of time you’re fair game to be made the butt of a joke.. still 10/10 highly recommend (also I believe they change routines frequently so can’t wait to see what they do next time!)

Friends who got food all enjoyed there orders! The show is phenomenal! Every Act is incredible and the humor is raunchy and fun! Come and enjoy yourself don't be uptight about anything and you'll have a great time!

Amazing show. Funny, sexual, raunchy, awing. Different acts from all over the world that all made up a super cool show. Tickets were expensive (especially for a Canadian) but this was one of the best experiences we had in Vegas. Hope the ticket prices mean the performers are paid well. The crazy show co-host was probably the best part because she was hilarious. Everyone is so talented, 10/10 recommend!

Absinthe in Las Vegas is nothing short of amazing! The show combines jaw-dropping acrobatics, hilarious comedy, and a touch of burlesque in a unique and intimate setting. The performers are incredibly talented, and the production is both daring and entertaining. The intimate spiegeltent atmosphere adds to the experience, making it a must-see show in the city of lights.

Attending the show from start to finish was a delight even with the small venue. Every seat was amazing and the experience was absolutely worth every penny.

Prepare for your mind to be blow and your belly to hurt from laughing! If yours sensitive and easily offended, it may not be for you, but the owner is histerical. The acrobatics, the beautiful women, the studly dudes, the dancing!!! All of it was incredible, including relaxing in the beer garden, jamming to the DJ, chatting with people and playing games waiting to go in! ❤️

I'm not a big show person, but knew that this was the one to see. I can't imagine any show in Vegas is better than this.

Anyone who rates this show under 5 stars is no friend of mine. What a production! Absinthe has been in Las Vegas for several years now and I finally took the time to see it on my last trip. I now see myself coming back many more times in the future.

Absinthe is pure entertainment from start to finish. Vegas has a handful of must see shows and this is one of them.

I have been to several Las Vegas shows including many of the Cirque shows, but Absinthe is so far ahead of anything else on an entertainment scale. It's funny and mesmerizing from start to finish and I didn't see anyone leaving without a smile on their face.
