Laughlin River Run was an annual motorcycle rally held in Laughlin, Nevada. It was the largest gathering of bikes and bikers in the Western United States.[5] The event drew an estimated 70,000 motorcycle enthusiasts in 2005.
The event featured several attractions and events, including live concerts, many motorcycle vendors, a poker run, drag races, a bike show, Ms. Laughlin competition, and charity events.[citation needed]
Accommodations are usually made at the various large hotels in Laughlin; however, in recent years, campsites have also been utilized for RVs.
The Laughlin Nevada Times reported on January 14, 2020, that the promoter for the 2020 event has not responded to inquiries and its website appears to have been abandoned, and that the Laughlin Chamber of Commerce has removed the event from their calendars.[3] Since that year, the COVID-19 pandemic caused the river run to go on hiatus.
