Absinthe at Caesars Palace (raunchy circus in an intimate tent), Blue Man Group at Luxor (multi-sensory percussion spectacle), Awakening at Wynn ($120M immersive theater-in-the-round), and Jabbawockeez at MGM Grand (masked dance crew) are the most distinctive, uncategorizable productions in Vegas.

Is Absinthe appropriate for everyone?

No. Absinthe is strictly 18+ and features extremely adult comedy from its host, The Gazillionaire. The humor is intentionally offensive and boundary-pushing. The acrobatics are world-class and family-appropriate, but the comedy absolutely is not. If adult humor bothers you, choose Awakening or Blue Man Group instead.

What is the newest show in Las Vegas?

Awakening at Wynn Las Vegas (opened 2022) is the newest major production on the Strip. Built in a custom $120M theater-in-the-round, it represents the latest generation of Vegas spectacle. Every seat is within 50 feet of the 360-degree stage.
