The shiny new Omnia Dayclub has opened in front of Caesars Palace.<\/p>\n

To help publicize the endeavor, the folks at Omnia Dayclub have arranged for a publicity stunt that harkens back to when Evel Knievel attempted to jump the fountains at Caesars Palace.<\/p>\n

On May 17, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., pro freestyle motocross rider and daredevil Colby Raha will perform a stunt described as jumping his motorcycle “across the Caesars Palace Front Fountains.” Which is complete hooey. Oh, he’s jumping vertically, but he’s not jumping the fountains featured in Knievel’s 1967 wipeout. Raha isn’t jumping over a fountain at all. Here’s what’s up.<\/p>\n

Here’s the truth: On May 17, Colby Raha will make a vertical jump of 100 feet near the fountains at Caesars Palace.<\/p>\n

You can see some recent video of the jump site in this Tweet from our friend @seventensuited.<\/p>\n
