PARIS LAS VEGAS

 

Arc de Triomphe

New Years Eve revelers along the Las Vegas Strip can witness motocross star Robbie “Maddo” Maddison as he once again attempts a jump like no other.  Maddison, a 27-year-old Aussie will jump his bike more than 120 feet high and land on the top of the 97-foot-high and 40-foot-deep replica Arc de Triomphe in front of Paris Las Vegas. Upon completing the jump, he will then drop off the Arc and freefall 50 feet to a massive landing ramp below. This follows his 322-foot jump last New Year’s Eve, breaking the Guinness Book of World Records.

 

Maddison’s jump is the finale stunt on ESPN’s one-hour special, “Red Bull: New Year. No Limits.” The  stunt spectacular will be televised live on ESPN/ESPN HD immediately following the Chick-Fil-A Bowl (approx. 11:00 p.m. ET / 8:00 p.m. PT). The show will also be simulcast live on ESPN360.com.

Rio

New Year’s resolutions to break boundaries have Rhys Millen attempting to backflip an off-road truck at the Rio. During his final practice before the 2007 Red Bull New Year’s event, Millen overshot the landing, resulting in injury, damage to his vehicle and his withdrawal from the event. The 36-year-old New Zealand native is fully recovered and more determined than ever. Millen’s motorsports credibility is unrivaled. He was the 2005 Formula Drift champion and 2008 Red Bull Drifting World Championship winner and Pikes Peak International Hill Climb world record holder and has been the lead stunt driver in several commercials and movies, such as Dukes of Hazzard and Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift.

 

Millen’s much anticipated backflip will be shown live on ESPN’s “Red Bull: New Year. No Limits.”

 

Voodoo Lounge

With breathtaking views, 51-floors above Las Vegas, Voodoo Lounge’s entertainment for the evening will be V51 (Live band) inside the lounge and DJ Guy Williams spinning on the outside patio decks. Voodoo offers a bird’s eye view of Millen’s truck flip as well as the fireworks from the Las Vegas Strip during countdown!

 

General admission tickets are $200 per person and VIP table packages starting at $1500 that include table, admission, and liquor with mixers. Tickets available by calling 702.777.6875. Doors open at 8pm.
