The 14th annual Laughlin River Run drew crowds of motorcycle riders.
Lisa Blake, a Bakersfield, Calif., resident, was crowned Miss Laughlin River Run in the annual pageant.
Police said they would not have a tally of River Run-related arrests for a few days, but said there were no serious incidents.
Between 30 and 40 motorcycles -- each valued at least $15,000 -- were stolen by a ring of thieves.
The event was a bonanza for the gaming hotels that make up the town's economy.
