So you think you've got jokes? Now through Aug. 14, the outlandish producer of the Strip's "Best Show" ABSINTHE at Caesars Palace challenges fans to put their comedy to the test in celebration of National Tell A Joke Day on Saturday, Aug. 16. Fans are invited to enter the So You Think You're Funnier Than The Gazillionaire social media contest where one lucky winner will receive a pair of tickets to attend an 8 p.m. performance of ABSINTHE.

In addition to winning a pair of tickets to attend the show, the winner will also receive a pre-show meet and greet with The Gazillionaire and his raucous assistant Penny Pibbets and the opportunity for the selected joke to be incorporated into the performances the evening of National Tell A Joke Day, Aug. 16. Prizes are subject to change without notice.

Fans are encouraged to use their unbarred imaginations in the creation of their submissions, but all content should be kept to a PG-13 rating. All submissions must be shared by posting to ABSINTHE's official Facebook wall or by tweeting @AbsintheVegas by Thursday, Aug. 14 at 6 p.m. PT. Fans may submit multiple jokes to increase their chances to win. The Gazillionaire will select his favorite joke at the close of the contest that Thursday evening, and the final winner will be announced on Friday, Aug. 15 on Facebook and Twitter.

Hailed by Chicago Sun-Times as "sexy, funny, unabashedly raunchy," and named "Best Show" on the Strip by Vegas SEVEN, Las Vegas Weekly and the Las Vegas Review-Journal, ABSINTHE at Caesars Palace is an acro-cabaret variety show featuring wild and outlandish acts in a theatre-in-the-round presentation. Audiences are treated to a night of imagination and excess as the cast of eccentrics perform amazing feats of strength, balance, danger and unfathomable flexibility within mere feet of the audience surrounding the intimate stage.

ABSINTHE show times are Tuesday-Wednesday at 8 p.m., Thursday-Sunday at 8 p.m. and 10 p.m., with no show on Monday. The schedule is subject to change without notice. Tickets can be purchased online at www.Ticketmaster.com or by calling (800) 745-3000. Tickets can be purchased in person at the ABSINTHE, Planet Hollywood, Bally's, Paris and Rio box offices. For groups of 10 or more, please call (866) 633-0195 or (702) 853-5950.
