LAS VEGAS

ON NEW YEAR'S EVE, KNIEVEL HOPES TO LEAP MIRAGE'S LAGOON

If you're in Las Vegas then, drop by the Mirage on New Year's Eve. That's the night motorcycle daredevil Robbie Knievel is preparing to jump more than 200 feet across the lagoon as the Mirage's new volcano jets shoot fire and water skyward after the mock volcano's $25 million overhaul. Fox TV will broadcast the event live, beginning at 8 p.m., with the jump scheduled for 9 p.m. Knievel is expected to travel 100 mph during the feat, which is to begin on hotel property and end on the Strip.

The stunt will take place 41 years to the day after Robbie's father, Evel Knievel, was seriously injured when he lost control of his bike during a jump over the fountains at Caesars Palace, next door to the Mirage.
