🏍️ Caesars Palace motorcycle stunt returns
April 16, 2026 · — Rob Kachelriess
📺 Did you see “Shark Tank” last night?
The Vegas entrepreneur behind PowerSoul Cafe was on to pitch her business. I was sidetracked by after-dinner cocktails when the show aired at 10 p.m., so I’m gonna stream the replay (on ABC or Hulu) to see how it turned out 🦈
What's CITY Talking About
✈️ The President Is In Town
If you get stuck in traffic today, blame the motorcade. President Trump will speak at the AC Hotel in Symphony Park. Can you guess what his appearance will focus on?
- The Iran War ❌
- Gas Prices ❌
- The Deficit ❌
- No Tax on Tips ✅ [KVVU]
El Presidente pregamed for his Vegas appearance by endorsing two Republicans for Congress ahead of the Nevada primary: Former Trump critic and semi-retired video game composer Marty O'Donnell (against incumbent Rep. Susie Lee) and Nevada State Senator Carrie Buck (against incumbent Rep. Dina Titus). [Nevada Independent]
🕹️ Nevada Tightens the Reins on Roblox
If you aren’t familiar with Roblox, your kids probably are. Nearly half of the U.S. population under 16 uses the online gaming platform, which just reached a legal settlement with Nevada Attorney Aaron Ford. New age verification requirements, parental controls, and communication restrictions are part of the deal. [KTNV]
🏍️ A Motorcycle Jump at Caesars Palace?
We haven’t seen a motorcycle jump the Caesars Palace fountains in a while. That could change if a permit is approved for one planned in May. The stunt is being planned to promote the new Omnia Dayclub. [KLAS]
- Evel Knievel tried and failed to pull off the feat at Caesars Place in 1967. He didn’t jump the Grand Canyon either. [City Cast Las Vegas ✍️]
🎸 Kiss Has New Music, Just For Vegas
KISS is on track to bring a computer-generated version of their show to Las Vegas in 2028 at a “bespoke theater” that’s not the Sphere. The rock icons are promising more realistic versions of themselves than the cartoonish avatars teased at the conclusion of their farewell tour, plus something everybody was dying for: new songs. [Pollstar]
- A Phil Collins “docu-concert,” which appears to mix visual presentations with live music, comes to Resorts World for one night only in September. [KLAS]
