Absinthe is a live show aired in 2006 and played on Caesars Palace's front page, Las Vegas, after opening on April 1, 2011. The event was hosted by The Gazillionaire, initially played by actor and former clown Cirque du Soleil, Voki Kalfayan and his assistant, Penny Pibbets, starring actress Anais Thomassian. In a 2011 interview on The Huffington Post writer Paul Carr stated that Anais Thomassian and Voki Kalfayan are both Armenians, "And, yes, they're couples."
A contemporary circus, the show is described by the Stage and Cinema as "an easy strife between great acts and bachelor parties."

Initially, Absinthe should be opened at Fontainebleau Resort Las Vegas. The Fountainebleau is closed and Caesars Palace allows producers to set up temporary tents at Roman Plaza. In 90 days of the show, after inspection by Las Vegas Fire & amp; Saving, organizers are told to close production. Due to the success of the event in 90 days, Gary Selesner, president of Caesars Palace, purchased Spiegeltent that met the German fire code standard and installed it on the site to replace the original tent.
The show was directed by Wayne Harrison with original choreography by Lucas Newland. It is manufactured by Ross Mollison and is owned by Spiegelworld.
At the end of the 1000th show at Caesars Palace, the actor of Absinthe is celebrated by dressing up as a zombie. In April, 2014, Absinthe celebrates its 1,500th show. The show will continue until 2016 at Caesar's Palace.

Themes and features
Absinthe follows the traditions of various events and vaudeville. It features mockers, performing performances, and various international artists. This is also a parody of Cirque du Soleil and mocks the entertainment business aspect. Artists have included Melody Sweets, Maxim Popazov, Atlantis, Ssens Duo, Ede Atlas Muz, Oxana Solamachuk, Vector Duo, Honorable Wire of Tall Wire and Angel Porrino, featured on reality TV show Holly World. Porrino is a feature acting for almost three years, before the end of his involvement in March 2014. At Absinthe, he knocks topless dance in a giant balloon.
There are three recurring roles in Absinthe : the Gazillionaire, Penny Pibbets and Green Fairy. The Gazillionaire is a "rotten snake oil seller... with bad teeth, bad suits, shiny sparkling shiny shoes." A comedian, he is the host. He made a joke at the expense of the audience and introduced the players. The character Penny Pibbets, assistant of the Gazillionaire and performed by Anais Thomassian, performs a routine with a sock puppet that by journalist Robin Leach is described as "more than XXX-rated - not a single word can be written here, it's indecent!" Candy is the personification of the green fairy. She's wearing a green costume and singing as she performs teasing style burlesque strips. An additional character, Maxim, who is the head waiter of The Gazillionaire, did a balancing seat at the opening ceremony.
The show lasts 90 minutes and takes place in a capacity of 600 Spiegeltent, with performances taking place on a stage that is only nine feet in diameter. The audience sat around the stage, in folding chairs. Guests can drink alcohol during the show, and order drinks from the area behind the tent during the show. After the show ends, the exit opens to the beer garden at Caesars Palace.
