The Gazillionaire and the cast of ABSINTHE at Caesars Palace welcomes high wire heiress Lijana Wallenda-Hernandez to the stage now through May 1. Wallenda is a seventh generation member of the world-renowned circus family, the Flying Wallendas and great grand-daughter of the legendary Karl Wallenda.
Wallenda will take to the sky as she joins the Esteemed Gentlemen of the High Wire, temporarily filling in for her husband Tony Hernandez.
ABSINTHE’s The Gazillionaire explained his rationale for adding Wallenda to the act. "I was getting bored with watching the sausage party that the Gentlemen of the High Wire had become. I have to watch that crap every night. So I sent Tony on a little detox vacation. The chugging of the bottle of Jack Daniels every night is taking its toll on him. So I hired his wife Lijana. She is a seventh generation wire walker and is so much more talented than him, so it's good. Oh yeah – she is also waaaay hotter!"
Wallenda began her high wire career at the age of 13 and has performed in various circuses nationwide.
