Only upside are the free tix comps and bragging rights to say u work at the best show in town. OTHER THAN THAT....Low pay, low hours. Company only decided to give ushers a raise because THE MINIMUM WAGE HAS GONE UP. Even then, still the LOWEST PAID USHERS ON THE STRIP. Everyone gets vacation expect ushers. Have to attend meetings twice a week that have nothing to do with you. Company spends lots of money on things that don’t matter, or work light a gigantic electric tree that never gets turned on except for events. So people who come to see the tree get to yell in your face like you personally decided not to turn the tree lights on. Inside of tent is outdated, things falling apart, chairs are unstable, wood is old, and full of splinter, no proper area to sit or have a meal since the teammate room is usually full of performers or u have to go 3 floors down to get to it (hard to do when u only have a 15 min break).   Most staff have another job during the day because this one doesn’t pay anything. Ushers here are the lowest paid ushers on the Strip yet do the most as ushers. Customers are rude, entitled, belligerent and disgustingly drunk. Customers often complain about how small and uncomfortable seats are Coworkers usually come into work with an attitude because their life sucks. Ushers who have been there for years get passed up on promotions. Can’t work more than 5 days (25ish hours). No benefits AT ALL. 




on promotions.

Absinthe was a cool place to work at, but pays way less than the average on the Las Vegas strip but has more than triple the average amount of responsibilities that ushers at other shows have. It can be a high stress environment and a very difficult job which is no big deal if properly compensated, but all ushers had to work day jobs in addition to this job just to cover bills. Coworkers often talk about the meals they skip and joke about how to deal with wisdom tooth pain because they can't afford to go to the dentist. Meanwhile you are forced to attend meetings that only consist of announcements about all of the paid vacations the cast and office staff are taking (they take a lot of vacations). If you like working an extra job during the day and coming to work at a show at night where drunk people yell at you for company policies and throw up on you while your boss tells you that you don't deserve a livable wage and that you should look less tired and  be more friendly, this is the job for you.

I tell people all the time: Spiegelworld is the best employer I have ever had and probably will ever have. The environment is fun and light hearted, I had some amazing coworkers, and I could tell that the company actually cared about me. 

The best part about the job was the shows: we have some of the best shows in Vegas and I am very proud of them. Every day was a learning experience and they give you an opportunity to really learn as much as you want. Also, the company really takes care of their employees.

My least favorite part of the job: sometimes it could get very stressful. After all, it is one of the best shows in Vegas so it can get very busy and customers can be rowdy. Of course, a lot of work is at night because of the shows so planning anything at night with friends and family outside of work is tough. It is a busy place, so you need to be prepared to work in a fast-paced environment and prepare to work a lot if you are full time or in some sort of management. 

Each day offered new experiences and chances to learn, adding to the job's inherent rewards. However, the company's culture didn't align with what had been promised, and frequent company restructuring, coupled with excessive HR involvement, added to the challenges. This resulted in unclear job roles and procedures, making the work environment difficult to navigate.

Worked with the top in their field entertainers including acrobats, comedians, jugglers, musicians and more.  Three shows a night, four nights a week.  I performed  in comedy skits, performed magic and closed the midnight show with my burlesque routine.  I enjoyed working with a cast of entertainers that were in the same age range as my grand children! This was a unique show in that it took place in various rooms of the nightclub simultaneously with a main show in the bigger showroom.

This is a fun work environment as you are hands on creating some of the most ground breaking shows in Vegas. But, the job never shuts off. Since people work different shifts, expect calls, texts and emails 24/7. Also, expect to work through lunch every day. The work never stops. Meetings are scheduled through lunch, so don't plan on taking breaks. Your break if you are lucky is walking to the door to grab your GrubHub. 

I'm part of the opening team at the company’s flagship restaurant. As a full-time union employee, I received a paid hour lunch, PTO, and EDOs. Management encourages a healthy work-life balance by supporting PTO use and allowing team members to drop shifts or pick up on-calls when needed. Overall, a great company to work for with strong support and structure.

One of the best experiences…The Leadership Team are supportive and extremely helpful, always looking for ways to in-power Win! Ticketing Agents are some of the best in the industry… Ross has built a phenomenon cast of smart and funny characters

I absolutely loved working here. I unfortunately just entered into the only department with a toxic manager who seemed to not care that I was disabled. I love the company, and I loved 99% of my co-workers. One bad apple didn't ruin my love for the company. I still recommend this place is to friends to apply to.
