After almost a entire year of no activity, the Mirage Hotel and Casino’s renowned volcano will be resurrected bigger and more extravagant than it has ever been. The legendary LV casino is trying really hard to invite as many sightseers as possible to take a look at their renovations.

This New Year’s Eve, the daredevil and stuntman Robbie Knievel will take a shot at a motorcycle leap over the Mirage Hotel’s artificial volcano. This feat will celebrate the conclusion of a 3-year restoration of the Las Vegas megaresort. Over this period, the Vegas hotel has spent about $110 million enhancing their rooms and suites.

The upcoming New Year’s Eve stunt is said to be Knievel’s last in the United States. The act will last for five mins. and include fireworks and a state of the art music recording. The music for the presentation has been composed by Mickey Hart formerly of the Grateful Dead. Robbie Knievel is the son of the late Evil Knievel-one of the world’s first and most famous daredevils.

The Las Vegas Mirage was opened in 1989 by Vegas tycoon Steve Wynn and was regarded as Las Vegas, Nevada’s 1st megaresort. This renovation is one of a handful on the LV Strip recently. This megaresort has hopes that this spectacle will invite a great number of visitors to the Sin City casino. The thought behind the overhaul is to beat other famous Las Vegas hotel and casinos like the Bellagio hotel.
