  The Evel Knievel museum with great opportunity to get out of the conditioned casinos and into a conditioned Museum to experience the catalog of an iconic American figure who inspired so many of us as kids. Who was your Evel Knievel in your community?

  I went with my dad when we drive across country several years ago (we went when it was in Topeka) from Las Vegas to Michigan. I wanted to go (Mr. Knievel and I share a birthdate, October17) and he thought it would be "silly", but it ended up being his "top stop" of our trip. He read EVERYTHING,, and made sure I did the same. He LOVED IT! He saw him jump at the Michigan State Fair years ago. Most men of a certain age have a scar or two from "playing Evel" (my husband's is on his chin)...they would also love it! And it's in Vegas, the site of the iconic Caesars jump ...what's not to love?!

  What a wonderful experience and a trip down memory lane! The Evel Knievel Museum does much more than showcase the incredible stunts, motorcycles, memorabilia, and larger-than-life personality that made Evel Knievel an American icon. What I especially loved was how artfully the exhibits place his accomplishments within the context of what was happening in the world at the time. It brings back memories you may have forgotten and gives you a real sense of the era in which these extraordinary feats captured everyone's attention. There is something very special about seeing this legacy preserved so thoughtfully, and Las Vegas feels like the perfect home for it. After all, who doesn't remember Evel Knievel's legendary attempt to jump the fountains at Caesars Palace?

  Oh my god! This place is awesome. I visited Evels grave in Butte on a previous road trip. Found this place at the end of another road trip and Jesus what a find. As a UK resident the Wembley exhibit made me emotional. I remember as a 8 year old kid watching it live on tv in England. There will never be another EK and this place is a great tribute to the legend.

  My expectations were definitely exceeded. I am 62 yo male from KC and my wife is 56 yo from Spain. Also with us was my 65 yo sister from Dallas. I expected the 2 ladies to be bored, but they really enjoyed it. First, the staff and docents were super friendly and knowledgable. The location is great - in the Arts District between the Strip and Fremont Street(we had a great lunch right across the street before our tour). Entry fee is very reasonable, especially for Vegas. The exhibit is split into 2 parts. Part 1 starts with Evel’s youth. Then, once he became a daredevil, the go year-by-year through his career with each year in a separate “room”. I really liked that each year had a board showing what else was happening in the world to give context. Another big positive was all of the short video clips scattered throughout the exhibit - they put a lot of effort into gathering TV interviews and other video for us. There were also a lot of his motorcycles interspersed in these yearly rooms, so you could see the photos, watch the videos, then turn around and 3 feet away is the actual motorcycle you just saw in the pics and video. You could see when he went from riding Triumphs to Laderas and then Harleys of different models. The exhibits had great graphics with the main points pulled out of the text of the readerboards and splashed across each exhibit. Standing next to the Snake River Jump X-2 cycle was really cool - I mean it’s right there in front of your nose so you can really look it over. So many great artifacts, and displayed really well with very good lighting and backdrops to make it come to life. Part 2 was a big single room that held Evel’s semi-tractor trailer and other vehicles. It also had a VR simulator where you sit on a motorcycle and go through a recreation of a jump he did. It costs an additional $15, but I felt it was worth it. My wife and sister passed on doing that. The gift shop was good, but they were out of my size in the 3 different t-shirts that I wanted. I found another one I liked in my size. They apologized and said that they had 700 people for their Grand Opening 3 weeks earlier, so they cleaned out of some sizes in some of the most popular designs. They had a life-sized model of the famous Evel Wheelie Motorcycle toy that I always wanted as a kid. They actually sell the toy in the gift shop, too (but I didn’t buy one). We spent over 2 hours there, and surprisingly I was the first of the 3 of us to make it through the exhibit - the ladies lingered longer than me. Bathrooms were clean and new. They sold refreshments in the gift shop, too (important since it was 114 degrees that day). But despite the heat outside, the air conditioning was working well. Other than being out of my size on the t-shirt that I wanted, everything else was just really top notch. I highly recommend this exhibit when you are in Vegas - you won’t be disappointed.
