Haute Secrets: The Gazillionaire Shares His Vegas Favorites
Photo Credit: Joseph Sanders/SpiegelwordThe Gazillionaire has more money than you. So much money that he brought his own show, “Absinthe,” to Caesars Palace, put it in a tent in front of the resort and made thousands of fans squeal with laughter. Yes, the show is raunchy, with The Gazillionaire and his raucous assistant Wanda Widdles host the night filled with burlesque acts, teetering high-wire performances, feats of strength, aerial performances and perhaps the best hooting time on the Strip. The show celebrates its sixth anniversary in April. In the meantime, find out some of The Gazillionaire’s favorite places in Las Vegas (and do take it with a grain of salt).
