A million billion thank yous to those of you who suggested seeing Absinthe while we were in Vegas. We went to the show on Wednesday night, and the only way I could have possibly enjoyed it more is if the wooden folding chairs for the audience hadn’t been quite so unforgiving. It was absolutely worth my bruised spine, though, because holy shit what a show. I’m not even sure how to describe it — a bunch of Cirque-style acrobatics performances combined with hysterical comedy routines? Bawdy, politically incorrect as all hell, and jaw-droppingly impressive. We loved it so much we totally bought the goofy overpriced commemorative photo.
Definitely go see that if you have a Vegas trip planned, and I also recommend dinner at SUSHISAMBA at the Venetian. It’s Japanese/Brazilian/Peruvian food, and while fusion places sometimes make me feel like that David Sedaris essay about Manhattan restaurants (“It’s hard to be a good sport when each dish seems to include no fewer than a dozen ingredients, one of which I’m bound to dislike. I’d order the skirt steak with a medley of suffocated peaches, but I’m put off by the aspirin sauce”), our meal was pretty much spectacular in every way.
Our room at the Venetian was ridiculously opulent, with a bathtub I’ll be dreaming about for years. God, it was such a treat being on our own for a few days, the luxurious surroundings and plethora of food options were just the cherry on top. I want to say that I missed the kids so much I couldn’t wait to come home … but. Well. That’s not quite. Oh, YOU know.

I’m so glad you had a fantastic time. I have been dreaming of a kids free trip for awhile now, but for various reasons, it probably isn’t possible until next year. Until then, I will live vicariously. Yours sounds just lovely.
Also – what a cute picture of you two!
What a lovely picture of you two! And the synopsis of your trip=perfect. This post is my own confirmation of my first “kid free” trip ever and it’s for my 10th anniversary… I haven’t made the plans yet, but I’m thinking whatever size room comes with a gigantic bathtub!
Thanks for the review! Next month I’m travelling to the US for the first time with my husband and no kids! We are doing New York, Las Vegas and LA (from Sydney). Think I will look into tickets for Absinthe – can’t wait!
Sounds wonderful! I would love love love a kid-free trip.
So I am posting with my phone and see that my name went in as Me. No, I am not that self-centered. :)
Seriously, my best friend and I left that show feeling HIGH, it was so amazing. I’d see it again if I were in Vegas, and I’m not even exaggerating when I say it’s the reason I want to go back.
So glad you loved Absinthe! Hoping to go to Vegas in a few months and this post motivates me to make plans.
Sounds much like our Vegas trip a few years ago. We saw O, ate food, and slept in.
I was in no rush to get home, as much as I love my minions.

Just the magical unicorn hair negates any goofiness. How do you do that? You should post a tutorial or something.
Jeez, I hope the Mom’s who love to grocery shop with their children don’t read that last line ! Glad you had a fantastic time, you two deserve it.
Glad you had a great time and that picture was worth every penny!
Yeah for fabulous child free breaks! And so happy to hear you loved Absinthe.
Or yay! As it should read. Not yeah. Oops.
That is a great picture of you guys. Your hair looks gorgeous!
Love the commemorative photo and your relaxed vacation smiles!
