One of the best shows in Las Vegas, the R-rated variety show “Absinthe,” has announced it will close at Caesars Palace on Oct. 21, 2016.<\/p>\n

The show is wildly successful, so it’s definitely a money thing.<\/p>\n

\"Absinthe
We took this photo of featured “Absinthe” performer Melody Sweets for a magazine cover. What, you think we can only take photos of hotel demolitions<\/a>?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fans of the bawdy show have nothing to fear, however, as the show will be moving into Cosmopolitan Las Vegas, taking up residence in the former ballroom space of Rose.Rabbit.Lie.<\/p>\n

Yes, Rose.Rabbit.Lie. is a thing. Don’t get us started on the random punctuation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Rose.Rabbit.Lie.
Didn’t get it then, don’t get it now.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“Absinthe,” performed in a structure resembling a tent (it used to be an actual tent, but upgrades were needed when heavy rains damaged it), opened in 2011.<\/p>\n

The official “Absinthe” site says the show will re-open<\/a> at Cosmopolitan on Nov. 1, 2016.<\/p>\n

\"Absinthe
No matter which acts are featured in “Absinthe,” you’re guaranteed to see something amazing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The producers of “Absinthe,” Spiegelworld, have a long and colorful history with the Cosmopolitan, specifically, a metric ass-ton of litigation.<\/p>\n

An “Absinthe” knock-off, “Vegas Nocture,” previously played in Rose.Rabbit.Lie., but was an expensive disappointment. We broke the news it would close<\/a>, of course, like we have anything better to do with our free time.<\/p>\n

The financial losses of “Vegas Nocturne” led to a strained relationship between Spiegelworld and the Cosmo, but those issues have apparently been resolved. Read more<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Base Entertainment, one of the show’s equity partners, whatever that might actually mean, has said it will try to stop “Absinthe” from moving to the Cosmo, but a news release says it’s happening, so it has to be true.<\/p>\n

\"Absinthe
If you can, see “Absinthe” in its “tent” at Caesars. The funky venue adds to the charm.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Behind-the-scenes drama aside, “Absinthe” will be around awhile. It’s an irreverent, thrilling stand-out in the world of Las Vegas shows, and deserves its stellar reputation, no matter where it pitches a tent.<\/p>\n

Oh, like we were going to pass that one up.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
