In this talk I will discuss model visible and infrared spectra of the highly irradiated giant planets often known as hot Jupiters. I will discuss successes and failures of 1D and 3D models compared to the variety of exciting data obtained from Spitzer and other telescopes. The high planetary temperatures (~1000-2000 K), along with previous albedo upper limits is the optical, imply that these atmospheres likely absorb 90+% of the light incident upon them. This was expected, due to broad absorption by neutral atomic alkalis, which are stable at these temperatures. I will make connections to planets at wider orbital separations, which are the targets of current and future imaging projects.
