Good morning, Las Vegas. I believe someone has left their heater on if you could please turn it off I’d really like summer to start in June, not May. Beyond that we’ve got a great lineup of events for the week and some good news for the valley.

In today’s Northwest Digest:

Let’s get to it.

— Marlin Mack

The 2nd Annual Brian Roberts Memorial Golf Tournament will take place on June 6, 2026 at 8:00 AM at Revere Golf Club. This event was created by alumni of the Alpha Tau Omega - Delta Iota Chapter (Reno) to honor the life and legacy of Brian Roberts, a beloved friend, brother, and native Las Vegan.

Proceeds from the tournament go directly toward scholarships for newly initiated members, helping support the next generation of future leaders. In its inaugural year, the event raised $1,500 for a deserving recipient, and organizers are aiming to grow that impact even further this year.

Registration is $250 per player and includes green fees, cart, breakfast, and beverages. Local businesses and community members are also invited to participate through sponsorship opportunities.

Colby Raha is set to make a record braking attempt jumping over 100 vertical feet over the Caesars Palace Fountains. That has us reflecting about the storied history of daredevils and and their ties to Sin City

Of course our story has to begin with Evel Knievel and his infamous fountain jump. In 1967 he hurled himself across the 140-foot Caesars fountains at 90 mph. He nearly landed it, but was not able to defy physics as his awkward landing resulted in severely broken body, but launched him to world stardom in the process.

In an attempt to outdo Knievel, Gary Well’s would increase the same fountain jump to 180 feet, but would share a similar fate resulting in Caesars Palace to call a cease to fountain jumps.

Casinos are always true to their word so in 1989 they let Robbie Knievel make a 150 foot jump over the fountains, which he successfully executed as his father looked on form the stands. This would launch a string of jumps for Robbie on the strip, including a 231 footer.

Over the next 3 decades we would see backflips from Mike Metzger, New Years shenanigans from and Robbie Maddison, and the most recreation of Evel’s jump done by Travis Pastrana in 2018. Fortunately all of these went off successfully despite minor setbacks and injuries sustained during.

And now in 2026 Colby Raha will mark the 60th anniversary of Caesars and the opening of Omnia Dayclub with this record jump. We wish the twelve-time X-games gold medalist well on his endeavors.

EDC weekend begins. If you’re not familiar with the 3-day festival I would be shocked, but for those unaware the event draws roughly a hundred thousand souls from all walks of life for long nights filled with dancing, heavy bass, and high bpm. The result is a community spreading peace, love, unity, and respect (PLUR) which is amplified by what may or may not be illicit drugs. Whether it’s your first time going or you’re a seasoned vet please be safe, drink water (but not too much), and use ride share or a designated driver. Happy raving! 🧿
