ere’s a simple guarantee in a city where sure things are sometimes difficult to come by: “Absinthe” at Caesars Palace is unlike any show you’ve ever seen. It’s also raunchy, thrilling, sexy, shameless, daring, vulgar, heart-stopping and simply unforgettable. When asked how he describes “Absinthe” to those unfamiliar with it, the show’s ringmaster and inspired lunatic, The Gazillionaire, says, “I usually spit in their face, then ask them why they haven't seen the damn show themselves. If they have a good excuse, I will explain it is the only show in Las Vegas that has sock puppets fornicating, audience lap dance competitions and a highwire act performed directly over the See Absinthe on pg 58

Dining Out in Style Classic Style at The Flame
By Tracy Hartley
I
f you are looking for a fine steak at a great restaurant, but don’t want to pay the standard “Strip” prices, then The Flame Steakhouse at El Cortez is the place for you. Located in the heart of downtown Vegas, The El Cortez has been a part of Las Vegas since 1941, bringing a new Las Vegas attitude mixed with “OldVegas” swagger to tourists and locals alike. The Flame serves world-class prime rib and steaks, along with seafood flown in daily. Live piano music brings back the classic Vegas vibe, and feel free to make a request if there’s a favorite song you’d like to hear. Starting out your meal at The Flame, you’ll have to make a very tough decision. Do you try the Calamari Fritti or the Oysters on the Half Shell? Or, if you’re indulging yourself in true Vegas style, you’ll order both! Soups and salads are also available with a classic, French Onion Soup, as the first choice of many guests. The “Chicago Style” Garbage Salad could be a meal by itself, filled with Kalamata Olives, ives, Salami, Cheese and much more. other tough For the main event, another choice presents itself. Prime Rib or Filet Mignon? Surf & Turf or Shrimp Scampi? If you’re lucky enough to dine at The Flame on a ng night when they’re serving ghy their specialty, Orange Roughy topped with a dill cream sauce s, make and served over sea beans, sure you don’t miss it. An amazing
12
dish, it is a fantastic alternative to red meat. If you’re a traditionalist, you can’t go wrong with their twentyounce Porterhouse; a delicious cut of perfectly seasoned steak. Also worth mentioning are the side dishes offered a la carte for any entrée. Classic items such as asparagus, sautéed mushrooms and potatoes are to be expected, but you may be surprised to find creamed corn and sweet potato fries among the choices. The creamed corn is roasted fresh, then added to a cream reduction sauce and topped with perfectly melted cheese for a delicious combination of flavors. If you’ve made it this far, you’ll definitely want to save a little bit of room for dessert. Some standard options like Crème Brulee and chocolate cake are on the menu, but there is nothing standard about the taste and presentation of the dishes. The chocolate cake topped with a rich ganache will have you coming back for ‘just one more bite’ until the whole slice is gone. The St Strawberries Romanoff is not to be m missed. A throwback to old-Vegas, tthis sweet , creamy treat will knock y your socks off. Whether you are staying d downtown or not, make sure to stop b the El Cortez for a look at their by re recent renovations and have dinner at The Flame, of course!

FEATURED EXHIBIT: Jewels of Titanic Fifteen of the most prestigious artifacts recovered from the wreck site of Titanic have been gathered into one of the most dazzling collections ever assembled and are on display now! As part of a three-city tour, Jewels of Titanic, presented by Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition, features diamonds, sapphires, pearls and gold jewelry that once belonged to some of Titanic’s wealthiest passengers. Jewels of Titanic shares the story of the jewelry’s discovery, underwater recovery, mysterious lineage and the influence these artifacts have in today’s pop culture. For more than 100 years, the mystique of R.M.S. Titanic’s sailing and subsequent sinking has captured the world’s imagination. Hailed as the most luxurious ocean liner the world had ever seen, Titanic’s manifest for the doomed maiden voyage had some of wealthiest and most well-known individuals of the day. As the Ship sank beneath the icy waters of the North Atlantic, she claimed more than 1,500 lives and took all the treasures she carried on board to a watery grave 2.5 miles beneath the ocean surface. These priceless items were once thought to be lost forever. However, 75 years after the sinking, Premier Exhibitions, Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiary, RMS Titanic, Inc., the salvor-in-possession of the wreck site and producers of the remarkable Titanic exhibitions, embarked on the first recovery operation to Titanic. Among the twisted steel, murky water and unidentifiable objects was an unmarked leather Gladstone bag whose contents became some of the most remarkable artifacts ever recovered – the Jewels of Titanic. Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition is located at Luxor Hotel & Casino. Open daily from 10am to 10pm, tickets are available at the Luxor Box Office or call 702-262-4400. The Jewels of Titanic exhibit is included in the general admission ticket. 14

The book is something of a piece of art in itself, with the artist choosing approximately 125 or so of his favorite pieces to feature. “There are a lot of bright and colorful ones,” said Chihuly, “and there are some that are just white that aren’t so colorful.” The process of “silvering” glass is the same as mirror making. “It’s something I tried and I really liked it, so I’ve been

putting a lot of energy towards silvering pieces,” said Chihuly. He began working with the process after he had studied in Italy under master glass blowers when he was a young artist. “What I like most about glass is that light goes through it,” said Chihuly. “It’s different than any other material in that way…The idea that sunlight or artificial light can go through it is what makes it luminous in a way that no other material is.” Chihuly creates pieces that range in scale from something to fit on a shelf to grandiose installations using materials ranging from glass to ice to even incorporating neon into his work. He creative ideas have taken him all over and his work can be seen in Vegas in the lobby ceiling of the Bellagio, and at his gallery in City Center at Crystals Place.

Twisted Vegas Las Vegas, Cleavage Capital of the World By Scott Roeben
Las V L Vegas d does many things hi well. ll It has some of the finest restaurant offerings anywhere. It delivers lavish shows enjoyed by visitors from around the globe. Many of its high rollers suites defy imagination. But there’s something else Las Vegas does exceptionally well: Cleavage. Just about everyone knows about Sin City’s topless entertainment, but cleavage isn’t that. Cleavage, or as it’s also known, “intermammary cleft,” is more about the tease. It entices without being lewd. Cleavage is Las Vegas marketing at its finest, and is one of the city’s most enduring, renewable resources. A recent entry into the realm of Las Vegas cleavage is Twin Peaks, a restaurant and bar inside Harmon Center, a complex next to Planet Hollywood. Ice cold beer is a great selling point, and the food is top-notch as well, but there’s a reason 98% of the guests in this lively restaurant are men. The view of The Strip from Twin Peaks may be spectacular, but that’s not the only eye-popping benefit of a visit. Let’s just say the waitresses and bar staff are carefully selected to exemplify the Twin Peaks brand. At the nearby Hooters Casino Hotel, of course, cleavage-based marketing
has been a draw for some time now. The restaurant chain is unapologetically “tacky yet unrefined,” and the casinohotel’s dealers, and wait staff at the titular restaurant, are a worthy addition to Sin City’s world-class cavalcade of cleavage. A few minutes south of The Strip is what’s easily one of the cleavage meccas of Las Vegas, The M Resort. This localsoriented casino has mastered the art of talent acquisition, and is well worth the drive or cab ride. Another fine entrant into the Las Vegas cleavage race is Gilley’s Saloon at Treasure Island. It’s décolletage with a honky-tonk flair. Of course, a successful forum for cleavage in Las Vegas is the party pit. Gogo dancers are strategically positioned atop platforms in casinos, presumably to encourage patrons to gamble longer, and party pit profits seem to bear out the efficacy of this strategy. Some of the most notable go-gofriendly establishments are Planet Hollywood (and its Pleasure Pit) and Paris Las Vegas (the Ooh La La Party Pit), as well as the Golden Gate and The D casinos, downtown. As day turns to night, all eyes turn to Sin City’s abundant nightlife. Nightclubs are notoriously stellar when it comes to giving cleavage a place to play. Clubs thrive on catering to the beautiful people, and beautiful people seem to enjoy cleavage as much as the rest of us. Right or wrong, the presence of cleavage in Las Vegas restaurants, nightclubs and casinos is here to stay. At least now you’ll know what they mean when you see a sign that says, “Las Vegas or bust.”

Absinthe continued from pg 6
audience. If they don't like that, then I tell them that it's pretty cheap.” The Gazillionaire, along with his lusty (and deceptively angelic) assistant, Penny Pibbets, are true originals, and they’re the comedic backbone of “Absinthe.” Their routines and audience interactions aren’t for the faint of heart, however. This is an adults-only show billed as “one part imagination, two parts carnival and a shot of old world burlesque.” The show’s burlesque element is handled with sensual aplomb by our cover girl, Melody Sweets. The multitalented Sweets is a sultry chanteuse, as well as an accomplished songwriter. She even wrote two of the songs she performs in the show. If “Absinthe” were just a show with laugh-out-loud comedy and a scantilyclad Melody Sweets, it would be a worthy addition to the diverse entertainment offerings on The Strip. But what sets “Absinthe” apart are its remarkable variety acts, performed up-close and in the round, mere feet from the audience. The show features Maxim Popazov, a performer who climbs a mountain of chairs to dizzying heights, a jaw-dropping group of acrobats called Atlantis, the aforementioned highwire act, called the Esteemed Gentlemen of the Highwire, muscle-bound miracle men Duo Vector, an impossibly flexible aerialist named Oxana and a high-flying duo, Alexa and Ming. Adding some quirky sex appeal to the
proceedings is former “Holly’s World” co-star and occasional “Peepshow” performer at Planet Hollywood, Angel Porrino. In “Absinthe,” Porrino tap dances, topless (aside from pasties), in a giant balloon. This one has to be seen to be believed. When listing the line-up of “Absinthe” performers, it would be irresponsible to omit Ivan and Ivana Chekov-Jones, the alter egos of The Gazillionaire and Penny Pibbets, who mercilessly lampoon Cirquestyle pretense in uproarious fashion.
One of the most impressive acts in “Absinthe,” or in any Las Vegas show, actually, is the roller skating phenomenon, Sven and Roma. The pair spin on an incredibly small platform, at an equally incredible velocity, pushing physics and our heart rates to the absolute limit. Their skill and sheer audacity are an experience you won’t soon forget. But even with all the circus-style thrills, it’s the outrageous comedy of “Absinthe,” courtesy of The Gazillionaire and Penny, that keeps audiences buzzing long after the show. In one sequence, Penny Pibbets does a one-of-a-kind routine with hand puppets that makes even the most jaded audience members blush. Not that it matters as you’re gasping for air during her act, but when asked who made her puppets, Penny Pibbets says, “Me. I am their God.” The Gazillionaire and Penny take a certain pride in the fact they can shock even those who consider themselves shockproof. No subject is off limits. Race. Sexual orientation. Politics. Religion.
Everything is up for grabs, and jabs, at “Absinthe.” Is there a line they won’t cross? The Gazillionaire doesn’t even skip a beat, saying, “I have not heard of this line which you speak of.” For all these reasons and more, “Absinthe” has received consistent and unprecedented rave reviews since it opened on April 1, 2011. When you see the show, it will be apparent why it opened on April Fools’ Day. The show continues to evolve, and has become a Sin City fixture. About the show’s second anniversary on The Strip, The Gazillionaire comments, “We started as a circus, cabaret, burlesque show from New York. Now we’re a Vegas show. We live, breathe and love Las Vegas.” “Absinthe” typically performs twice nightly, in a tent decked out with décor as offbeat as the show itself, Wednesday through Sunday, at 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. To find out more about “Absinthe,” visit AbsintheVegas.com.
