Spiegelworld’s zenith in Las Vegas was a morning press event 4½ years ago at Caesars Palace’s Beijing Noodle No. 9.
The production company announced a flourishing partnership with Caesars Entertainment that day. The concept was three-pronged: a series of new shows, theater build-outs and restaurants in Atlantic City, Las Vegas and New Orleans.

The Gazillionaire, “Absinthe’s” irreverent host, showed up late that morning, grabbed a glass of Champagne and leveled the place, starting with Spiegelworld founder Ross Mollison. “Sorry, I was sleeping in the car,” said Gaz, wearing a gold-sequined jacket, his hair matted with what seemed to be lard.
