You can see the view from our seats down below. Our seats were the very last row but the view was just fine.

There was plenty of leg room here to stretch out folks! Table for two at Absinthe! | Table 19

Yep! We got a whole table all to ourselves which was so refreshing after being jam packed into the Colosseum for Celine Dion. There’s really not a bad seat in the house! We sat at Table 19. The show is performed in the round on a stage that is only 9 feet wide and is meant to be up close and personal. Be prepared to be the butt of the Gazillionaire’s jokes or to participate in the show! It’s vulgar, it’s obscene, it’s politically incorrect, but it’s hilariously entertaining, and quite possibly the most fun you’ll have in your entire life! And just because you’re sitting in the audience doesn’t mean you’re off limits. It follows the traditional variety show format, featuring burlesque performers, sideshow performers and various international artists, who will shock and amaze you at every turn!! It’s almost like a spinoff of Cirque du Soleil, but a million times more X-rated than even their best attempt at risqué. The show is hosted by the Gazillionaire, think sleazy snake-oil salesman with bad teeth, a bad suit, bad hair, and bad shoes, and his insanely vulgar assistant, Penny Pibbets. These things were massive!! Nom Nom Burger | Holsteins Shakes and BunsĪfter dinner we wobbled ourselves over to the circus tent outside in front of Caesar’s to check out what’s being billed as the BEST show in Vegas right now! The BEST show in Vegas? Those are some pretty big shoes to fill but let me tell you Absinthe did not disappoint!!! Not one bit! Be warned….you’re going to need to check your inhibitions at the door! Basically if you’ve ever been offended by something on Facebook, then this show is not for you. Oh and did I mention the fresh buns? I like big buns and I cannot lie! We did our best to finish this feast but came up a little short. My hubby chose the Nom Nom, a kobe beef burger, topped with cheddar cheese, potato chips and thousand island dressing. Dare I say best burger of my life?!? The fries didn’t disappoint either! Holsteins Shakes and Buns | The Cosmopolitan I went with the aptly named Gold Standard, a dry aged beef sirloin burger, complete with smoked bacon, aged goat cheddar cheese, tomato confit, bay arugula, and garlic-chive aioli. I don’t know how they fit it all in but somehow they do and….its….AH-MAZING!!! I don’t think anyone in the world could make a better milkshake!! The Fat Boy freak shake | Holsteins Las VegasĪdd to that, their top notch burger menu, with burgers ranging from salmon, to beef, to lamb! You can get something classic or you can go with something extraordinary. Holsteins is basically all-American favorites, burgers and milkshakes, but on crack! Take for instance their bamboozled shakes, the most epic boozy freakshakes that you’ve ever seen! We went with their classic, the Fat Boy, which consists of candy bar vodka (yes! that is a real thing!), reese’s peanut butter cups, pretzels, rainbow sprinkles, fruit loops, oreo cookies, and butterfingers, topped with whipped cream, a chocolate covered pretzel rod, a rainbow twist pop, cotton candy, and rimmed with vanilla frosting, and micro jaw breakers. We headed up to the room to freshen up before heading out to dinner at Holsteins Shakes and Buns at the Cosmo. We ate a great breakfast at The Buffet at Aria then spent the afternoon at the pool at our hotel (the MGM). It’s happened to the best of us! Trust! But with a little advanced planning and a whole lot of under eye concealer, you can look fresh and well rested through the whole week! It’s easy to get caught up in all of the excitement because there’s so much going on all at once AND you’re going to want to do it ALL!! A typical Vegas trip goes as follows: Day one you’re uber excited and drinking mimosas at breakfast Days 3-4 you look exhausted and start wearing your sunglasses indoors. Vegas is so much fun because everything is open literally 24/7. Back in May, we spent a week in Las Vegas! Yep! A whole week!! I absolutely loved every second of it….because we paced ourselves.
