Even before you enter the Spiegeltent to experience the phenomenon that is Absinthe, you’re excited; how can you not have a sense of wonder upon seeing that huge tent right outside Caesars Palace? And the interior! The whole space is decorated to give it a steampunk feel, and a small, circular stage at the center has you wondering, “What are they going to be able to fit in there?”

As it turns out, plenty, from acrobats and dancers to jugglers and sensual singers, all highlighted by the extremely profane (and very, VERY un-PC) Gazillionaire and the irresistible Green Fairy. It’s almost impossible to not be swept up in all this craziness and ribaldry. Make sure to grab a drink (or two) at the bar; an altered state only heightens the euphoria you’ll get from Absinthe.
