Sources have confirmed that Robbie Knievel, son of the legendary showman and daredevil Evel Knievel, is preparing a 200 ft jump over the lagoon and volcano located on the Mirage Hotel and Casino as part of the celebrations prepared for New Year's Eve.

The amazing stunt act will be part of a Fox television special and will be aired exactly 41 years after Evel Knievel unsuccessfully tried to jump over the Caesars Palace water fountain on December 31st, 1967. During the infamous jump, Knievel crashed his bike and broke at list forty in a coma for a whole month but propel him to pop culture celebrity. A little over a decade after the jump, the motorcycle stuntman Gary Wells tried to finish what Knievel started and also ended up crashing his bike and spending some time in the hospital recovering from his injuries. However, in 1989 Robbie Knievel finally dominated the fountain jump, setting a personal record distance of 170-foot. In 2006, the X Games gold medalist Mike Metzger set a new world record when he became the first pilot to perform a back flip over the Caesars’s fountains.

Robbie has completed over 250 jumps, setting 20 world records, including a building-to-building jump from the 13-story Jockey Club in Las Vegas to another Strip building. In July 1999, Robbie Knievel was asked what would be the next thing he would jump after completing a bike flight over 25 cars at Pikes Peak International Raceway in Colorado,

"I'm looking for a volcano" said Knievel, who at the time had a world record for jumping the Grand Canyon on his Honda 500.

Now the 46 years old professional stuntman will fly over a sequence of fireballs and flames this time, drawing the audience’s attention to the Mirage Hotel and its recently renovated volcano, which will be unveiled to the public on Monday, December 8th. Fox Network will broadcast the Knivel’s jump live from the Strip from 8:00 to 9:00 p.m Pacific Time. Robbie will make the dangerous jump toward the end of the show with just 10 minutes before the midnight countdown celebrations on the East Coast.
