Evel Knievel Museum reportedly leaving Topeka for Las Vegas

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — It appears the Evel Knievel Museum might be jumping from Topeka, Kansas, to Las Vegas. A Las Vegas newspaper reported Monday that a developer is working to move the museum. On Tuesday, Amanda Beach, the museum’s marketing director in Topeka, said the report was premature but the deal is “imminent.” She said in a news release the change would not happen immediately and could take a couple of years. Beach said museum supporters believe Las Vegas is the best place for the tourist attraction. The museum filled with artifacts from the late daredevil’s career opened in Topeka in 2017.
