Spiegelworld Launches a New Circus-Style Dinner Show in Las Vegas

Eater10-07-2025
The creators of Absinthe and Diner Ross are back with a new experience that blends an Italian prix fixe menu with jaw-dropping circus acts, all wrapped up in the context of an over-the-top dinner party. The Party debuts at the Cosmopolitan on Thursday, July 10 with dinner from neighboring Superfrico and performances by Spiegelworld's acrobats and artists. With space for just 50 guests a night, it's designed to celebrate birthdays, weddings, divorces, or anything that calls for a party.
In late 2023, Spiegelworld closed the OPM (formerly Opium) variety show in the theater next to Superfrico at the Cosmopolitan. 'OPM never really matched,' says Ross Mollison, the founder of Spiegelworld. 'There was this restaurant that was Italian American, and then there was this crazy outer space show.' When Superfrico took over the Rose Rabbit Lie space in 2021, it brought in chicken Parmesan, tableside hand-pulled mozzarella, and roving circus performers. It's a take on the dinner theater — with hosts escorting guests to their tables, sidestepping interstitials of sparring ballerinas and teams of jugglers. 'I've always had the feeling that Vegas didn't want dinner theater,' says Mollison, recalling the five-hour dinner-and-a-show marathons he experienced in Germany. But when a space near Superfrico became available, he reconsidered. 'Maybe I was wrong and Vegas is actually the perfect market to put entertainment together with dining.'

The Party serves a three-course menu from chef Mitch Emge, who preps the food in the Superfrico kitchen. It comes with appetizers like tuna tartare or salad with Calabrian ranch dressing, mains like seared mushroom gnocchi with black truffle or six-ounce prime filet with roasted bone marrow sauce, and dessert of tiramisu or rice pudding with blueberry compote and lemon curd.
As guests dine, the show unfolds: classic circus acts — like one acrobat balancing impossibly atop another — share the spotlight with more unexpected moments, including a soap bubble performance by Denis Lock. In OPM, he turned bubble-blowing into a hypnotic spectacle using smoke and straws to create bubble cubes and shimmering orbs. Lock's act 'is my favorite in the world,' says Mollison. 'It's a 10-minute act. It was just too long for the pace of that show. But in this environment, it's just glorious.' Another highlight is the return of the Circus Automaton, a custom-built tableau mécanique featuring two-dimensional circus scenes that glide and rotate across a tabletop stage in precise, whimsical choreography.
The supper club format isn't exactly new in Vegas. Delilah and Mayfair Supper Club have long blended dinner service with musical performances in lavish, scene-stealing dining rooms. Superfrico brought a circus twist to the same idea. Even Tournament of Kings with its jousting knights and roast chicken, and the Marriage Can Be Murder comedy-mystery mainstay have delivered their own takes on dinner theater for years. But the Party pushes the concept one step further — adding a defined call time, high-caliber talent, and a kitchen that can turn out a proper gnocchi. A reason to party, indeed.
The Party starts at 7 p.m. Wednesday to Sunday. The two-hour experience is $150 per person and tickets are available online.

Mom Says Daughter Was Uninvited to Classmate's Party — Wonders If She Should Throw Bigger Party and Exclude Other Kid

The woman — who shared her story on a community forum — said she doesn't want her daughter to feel "excluded" — but also doesn't want her to be the "mean girl A woman wants to host a party for her daughter — and not invite a 'mean' classmate who recently excluded her — but, she's unsure if it's the right call. The woman detailed her story in the 'Am I Being Unreasonable?' forum on the U.K.-based community site Mumsnet, explaining that her 10-year-old daughter was recently invited — and then uninvited — to a classmate's end-of-the-year party. The original poster (OP) said her daughter was uninvited because the girl throwing the party found out that the boy she likes has a crush on the OP's daughter. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! '[My daughter] doesn't even like this boy or care about boys in general (thank god), but the girl doesn't want [her] at her party because he will be there. [My daughter] has since been called names and been made fun of by this girl at school,' the woman said. The OP discussed the issue with the other girl's mother, but was merely told, ' 'You know what girls that age are like when it comes to boys.' ' The woman said she is now considering throwing her own, bigger party for her daughter's class and inviting everyone but the girl who had excluded her daughter.

'I don't want [my daughter] to be upset and excluded, but I don't know if I can let her be the mean girl, excluding someone else and making them upset,' the OP said in a follow-up comment. The majority of the woman's fellow community members said they thought that she should throw the party — and that it might even serve as a learning moment for the other family. 'Do it. You're teaching the girl and her mother a valuable lesson here — that its not nice to be mean. Her mother obviously isnt teaching her,' one person said. '[Throw a] bigger, better party for sure,' said someone else. 'I'd go full-on petty with this one, and if the mother complains, [say], 'Well, you know what girls are like with parties nowadays.' However, a few other Mumsnet users advised against it. 'Don't. Go high, not low," one person said. "A 10-year-old, we can forgive [...]. However, she's sadly got a weak, ridiculous parent. Go ahead and throw your daughter a party," someone else said before adding that they would invite the other child in order "to show the [other] mother how to behave properly.'

27 Must-Have Everlane Pieces For Your Wardrobe

A seamed dress for days when your noggin is incapable of forming a thought, let alone an outfit. The foolproof equation goes as follows: this dress, heeled sandals, and your favorite purse. Promising reviews: "Beautiful dress. Very comfortable, well structured. Would love in many colors!" —Jen2349"This dress is timeless, exactly what I was looking for. Classic styling that fits my petite body perfectly. I can dress it up with heels and statement jewelry or dress it down with sneakers or birkenstocks. The bodice fits perfectly especially for someone who is small on top. The length is perfect from petites. I am 5'2, 120 pounds and purchased size 4. The red is gloriously red! Now contemplating purchasing the black." —RedDressPrice: $168 (available in sizes 00–16 and in five colors) A square-neck bralette crafted with a silky soft fabric, ideal if you want support but *don't* want to be wearing underwire. Promising reviews: "I wear a 34C bra and the M fits great and is soooo comfortable. The fabric is smooth and soft. Not a lot of support, so it's not good for exercise, but great for day to day." —Ems24"I love this bralette so much that I am on my third one! This is my go-to everyday bra that works well with everything! Wore my first one basically out." —MCFarnhamPrice: $38 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and in three colors) A caftan dress meant for prancing through the Italian countryside, wicker basket filled with grapes in one hand and a glass of vino in the other — and if you're not there, at least you'll feel like it. Promising review: "I am obsessed! It is so well structured. This may be my favourite piece from Everlane." —RosieW607Price: $137 (originally $228; available in sizes XXS–XXL and in three colors) Chino pants with a balloon leg for anyone who wants to say "to hell with denim" and would love to amicably break up with their leggings, too.

Promising review: "The fit and vibe of this dress is perfect. It's sophisticated enough to wear to the office, or for an evening out. I'm 5'7 and the length is great, not too short or too long. I think it will be a very versatile piece through all the seasons. I did end up sizing down to an XS from my usual S because I wanted a more fitted look. For reference I'm 120 pounds, 32 C and typically wear a size 25 in pants." —SkullyPrice: $51 (originally $128; available in sizes XXS–XXL and in four colors) Leather glove flats capable of inspiring even Dorothy to ditch those ruby red slippers for a more practical (but still stylish) option.

They are so comfortable." —mcmc01Price: $148 (available in sizes 5–11 and in 10 colors) A crewneck T-shirt available in a slew of colors, perfect for wearing with shorts, jeans, leggings, etcetera. You can never go wrong with this wear-every-season basic. Promising reviews: "This is my favorite T-shirt. It fits well and isn't too lightweight or heavy.

I bought three." —shirtgirlie420xxxPrice: $38 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and in seven colors) An open-back dress meant for strolling around the sandy shorelines of pristine beaches and/or shopping for fresh fruit in marketplaces. Either scenario works. Price: $118 (originally $168; available in sizes XXS–XXL and in four colors) A leather bag you will truly wear every. single. day. Large enough to sling over your shoulder for errands, elegant enough to be touted around by its handle for dinner. Promising review: "After having the bag for six months, I can say it's amazing. I have been using this to pieces and have taken it everywhere and it still looks new." —BrutusPrice: $258 (available in four colors and in suede as a pre-order) An organic cotton dress you'll want to wear on hot, hot, hot, and humid days when the idea of slithering into leggings makes you feel somehow even more sweaty. Promising review: "This dress in this fabric is perfection. It's tailored enough that it does not swing like a tent but not so tailored it shows every bump, lump and underwear. I own the cream color and black and can't wait to continue wearing these into the fall." —Azcahcu Price: $41 (originally $61; available in sizes XXS–XXL and in five colors) A canvas bag because it's time to retire the high school sports weekend gym bag you've been toting to weekend trips ever since.

I get many compliments when I wear it." —Morning GloryPrice: $98 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and in eight colors) A-line denim shorts that are the ~little black dress~ equivalent for a casual summer essentials wardrobe. Dress them down with a bikini top and flip-flops; dress 'em up with a button-up, belt, and heeled sandal. Promising review: "I am just absolutely OBSESSED with these shorts. I've been searching everywhere for a pair that's high waisted but not tight around my thighs and this A-line silhouette is an absolute game changer. Cannot recommend them enough!!" —Tini D. Price: $88 (available in sizes 23–33, five non-stretch colors, and two low-stretch colors) A cotton tank you may as well keep on the proverbial chair (and laundry basket every so often) as it'll be worn with alarming frequency.

Pair this with your favorite knee-high boots, and voila, you're on the path to becoming a bona fide style blogger. Price: $148 (available in sizes 00–16 and in two colors) High-waisted jeans with a contoured waistband and sculpting straight-leg style. These are made with organic cotton that features only a whisper of stretch, the idea being that they will feel more and more customized to your bod with every wear. Promising review: "Fit perfectly straight out of the package. I struggle to find jeans that are big enough in the thighs but small enough at the waist, but these are great. Fabric seems to be good quality, durable." —DB253Price: $128 (available in sizes 23–35, two lengths, and five colors) A draped top available in a sunshine yellow, symbolic of all the fresh air you'll finally be getting now that the weather app is a wee bit more forgiving.

It would be six stars if it had pockets." —katerabbitPrice: $103 (originally $158; available in sizes XXS–XXL and in three colors) A fanny pack for anyone who's ever made *fun* of fanny packs. This one is somehow chic and convenient and will make you wonder why you didn't hop on the bandwagon sooner. Promising review: "I have looked for a very long time for a cross body bag that didn't feel bulky but also had plenty of room for stuff. This is THE bag. Walked around Rome and Florence for a week and never felt like someone could snatch the bag from me. It doesn't have a clip so no concern with someone unclipping it and running with the bag. It feels comfortable and not heavy. And looks great!" —Tourist JenPrice: $58 (available in two colors) Leather loafers that are the footwear equivalent of a blazer: capable of making any leggings-and-tee combo look profesh. Promising reviews: "Fits just right. The quality of the leather is premium. It is buttery soft. I love how the sole is rubber. The stitching is top notch. Thinking about getting another pair in black or rum. Overall I'm happy with my purchased." —Linsieboo"I finally found loafers that don't give me blisters and hurt my feet!! The leather is so soft that I can wear them all day. They are true to size too and have plenty of room for my toes." —itsmegulsahPrice: $168 (available in sizes 5–11 and in three colors)
