The festive party began just before sundown with live entertainment on the iconic front fountains. Winner of “American Idol” season five, Taylor Hicks, got the patriotic party started with his popular song, “Seven Mile Breakdown,” followed by “Nineteen”. The roster of live entertainment also included cast members from ABSINTHE and the TSA Color Guard.

Wearing illuminated wingsuits equipped with red, white and blue LED lights, the Red Bull Air Force made their adrenaline-pumping jump, skillfully landing on the famed Las Vegas Strip directly in front of Caesars Palace. Guests waved American flags and patriotic signs as the team took to the front fountain stage, joining Gary Selesner, President of Caesars Palace and daredevil Robbie Knievel for the launch of the astonishing fireworks display. Lasting 13 ½ minutes, the show filled the skies above the re-imagined Julius Tower at Caesars Palace.

Caesars Palace has a rich history of hosting suspenseful, daredevil action that dates back to 1967 when Evel Knievel attempted to jump the resort’s towering row of fountains on his famous red, white and blue motorcycle – a feat that was successfully completed years later by his son Robbie Knievel in front of a national television audience in 1989. Robbie Knievel was the first to clear the fountains and was also honored on stage by Caesars Palace as the property celebrated the latest chapter in its daredevil history.

The Independence Day celebration continues through Monday, July 4 at Caesars Palace. The Roman Plaza and Spanish Steps have been transformed into a massive block party featuring live music, signature cocktails, life size games, patriotic decorations, Serendipity 3 BBQ specials and more from noon to midnight.

About Red Bull

Red Bull is an energy drink sold by Austrian company Red Bull GmbH, created in 1987. In terms of market share, Red Bull is the highest-selling energy drink in the world, with 5.387 billion cans sold in 2013.

Austrian entrepreneur Dietrich Mateschitz was inspired by an existing energy drink named Krating Daeng, which was first introduced and sold in Thailand by Chaleo Yoovidhya. He took this idea, modified the ingredients to suit the tastes of Westerners, and, in partnership with Chaleo, founded Red Bull GmbH in 1987 in Chakkapong, Thailand. In Thai, daeng means red, and krating is the large bovine called “gaur”. Red Bull is sold in a tall and slim blue-silver can, while Krating Daeng is in a gold shorter can. The two are different products, produced separately. – Wikipedia
