Absinthe at Caesars Palace is a wildly hilarious and raunchy acrobat/burlesque/variety show with a host who resembles a Sacha Baron Cohen character, plus his trusty but ditzy assistant and a roster of very well-endowed, pin-up-worthy, Cirque du Soleil-quality acrobats.

Absinthe was originally intended as a temporary pop-up, housed in a small tent erected on Caesars’ front sidewalk. But it proved too good, too funny and just too damned entertaining to be merely a pop-up, thus the show has been extended for an indefinite run. Beware: The show will offend you from the opening line of the introduction, devolving into a downward-sucking spiral of political incorrectness and sexual tension that would make even Larry Flynt blush.

But, hey, this is Vegas. Live a little. You really must see this show!

Hey, OC. FYI in case you missed it, @ryegoods has opened a new location on Red Hill in Tustin, just down the street from Flight/Mess Hall. Same incredible breads and pastries as the original on the peninsula. No lines here, plus a huge seating area. #sourdough #pastries #coffee #orangecounty 322 9
One more post from our lovely stay at @fstokyo. Delicious lunch at @maisonmarunouchi, the casual sibling to @sezannetokyo. Excellent all around. And clearly popular with Tokyo's ladies who lunch: the clientele during our visit, almost entirely women. Quite the see-and-be-seen crowd. 57 1
I’m not sure which I liked better about the @fstokyo, the valet greeter and escort from the train station, the view of the trains from our room, or the super comfy pajamas. Excellent service all around. #Tokyo #Japan #hoteljunkie 79 3
I think @sezannetokyo ⁠has a #footfetish, and I’m ok with that. Truly fantastic lunch. Impeccable service. ⁠ 63 1
We had a really fun "Lost in Translation" moment at @meatman_roppongi. Google Translate failed hilariously. Delicious meat/fat overload anyway. Great staff, charming hospitality. Lots of sake. Thank you, @fstokyo for securing the reservation! #Tokyo #Roppongi #sake 76 1
Well, that was interesting.  A toast to 2022. And looking forward to ‘23. Cheers, and safe travels to all. 81 1
