Superfrico at Cosmopolitan is awesome. “Absinthe” at Caesars Palace is awesome. Put those two awesome things in a blender and, voila, “The Party.”

Yes, we said “voila.” We are a noted French expert, and as we always say, “Je suis un avocat avec une baguette magique.”

Anyway, “The Party” has opened at Cosmopolitan, and we are determined to contribute a quote to their advertising, so let’s just say “The Party” is outrageous, bawdy, boundary-busting, eye-popping good fun.

It’s dinner and a wow.

Basically, “The Party” is a prix fixe dinner where variety acts are served up between courses. One might even say the entertainers are their own courses.

The food elevates the show and vice versa.

They had us at the bread. Included.

“The Party” debuted July 10, 2025, in the “Blue Room” between the former “OPM” stage and Superfrico.

It’s called the Blue Room because it’s blue. This is not rocket science.

Here’s how “The Party” is described by the demented geniuses at Spiegelworld: “This two-hour, chef-curated dinner and live performance experience runs Wednesday through Sunday at 7:00 pm and is priced at $150. With just 50 seats per night, guests can enjoy a three-course menu alongside a rotating cast of Spiegelworld performers, all emceed by cabaret icon Laurie Hagen.”

Good luck finding a dinner on The Strip for $150, much less live entertainment to boot.

The host, Laurie Hagen (pictured below, with her foot nearly in our salad), is a hoot and mingles with guests prior to seating. During this social hour, she seems to memorize the name of every guest. She later interacts with patrons using their names. Meanwhile, we do not know all the names of our own family members.

Host Laurie Hagen is a one-woman party. All due respect.

“The Party” performers mingle with diners prior to dinner and you sort of feel like you get to know them, making it even more fun when you discover what they do onstage.

Here are the names of the performers: Alec Batton (glam drag cow), Mickael Bajazet (hand balancing), Lindsey Benner (comedy, juggling), Denis Lock (bubblemaster), Vlada Romanova (hand balancing, goddess), Pawel Walczewski (aerialist), Gypsy Wood (plate spinning) and Penny Wren (burlesque).

Otherwise known as “the variety gamut.”

We were most excited to see the return of Dennis Lock, the bubble guy we first saw in “OPM.” He’s still mesmerizing.

Lest we forget the dinner side of this “dinner and a show” experience, the food is great. Nothing too fancy and definitely elevated.

Prix fixe menus are perfect for those of us with decision fatigue from too many hours of video poker.

The service was incredible, especially given the logistics of serving 50 people simultaneously (the food can’t be staggered because there’s a show schedule to keep). We were there on opening night, when missteps are expected, but we witnessed zero. It was like a dance, and if you’re a restaurant operations nerd (they exist), you’ll be impressed.

In French, “filet” means a “strip.” “Mignon” means “dainty.” Hello, noted French expert.

There’s an extensive cocktail menu, too, of course. At the $150 price point, liquor is about the only way this thing is going to make any money.

“The Party” is a unique Las Vegas evening out, and avoids the pitfalls of supper clubs (looking at you, Delilah) where you can’t hold a conversation with someone across the table.

“The Party” is dinner punctuated by a show, or the other way around. Either way, it’s satisfying.

Wait, a possible quote for the ads: “The 69 of Las Vegas nights out! Satisfaction guaranteed!”

Big thanks to Spiegelworld for hosting our media visit and for forcing two lovely P.R. reps to dine with us, something we would not wish upon anyone as we are known to kvetch at the slightest provocation and make inappropriate jokes. We blame F1.

Because our meal was hosted, we opted for the ribcap upgrade. It was lovely.

The desserts were delicious.

By “the desserts were delicious” we mean since we’re not a tiramisu person, so we trusted the judgment of the P.R. who said it was delicious.

We are, however, a gelato person, and because we are very important, the flavor was stracciatella, the next best thing to

“Stracciatella” means little shreds in Italian. While we are an Italian expert, we are not particularly noted.

We had a great time and highly recommend “The Party” if you’re looking for a solid deal, stellar food and jaw-dropping, world-class performers who are guaranteed to make your night out in Vegas utterly unforgettable.

A little long for an ad blurb, but true, so there’s that. At least we didn’t say “immersive,” although, it’s sort of that, too.

What? You thought we’d leave you hanging on the “glam drag cow” thing? The drag performer is dressed as a cow and squirts water from their udders into the mouths of guests. What part of “jaw-dropping” didn’t you get? And did you notice how deftly we navigated the pronoun thing? Are you not entertained?

Sure to lighten your mood. We’ll wait.

Oh, and “Je suis un avocat avec une baguette magique” translates as “I am a lawyer with a magic baguette.”
