LAUGHLIN, Nevada. The tranquil waters of the Colorado River transformed into a scene from the old west at the ninth annual Round-Up River Regatta on Saturday, Aug. 8 2015. Embracing the theme, thousands of attendees donned their swimwear and grabbed their inner tubes to soak up the sun, beat the heat and enjoy an extraordinary journey down nine miles of pristine river waters.

Beginning at 7 a.m., water enthusiasts launched floats from Davis Park and Community Park. By the final raft launch time at 1 p.m., approximately 30,000 floaters had taken to the waters to enjoy the journey.

Throughout the voyage, upbeat music provided by houses along the river and local radio stations added to the party. Houses along the water also embraced the old west theme and decorated for their chance to win the Most Spirited House contest.

Individuals and teams also inspired by the theme decorated their floats, rafts and inner tubes for a chance to win an array of prizes. The most impressive and creative floats were spotted at Davis Camp for judging before taking to the waters. Official judges admired the spirited floats and named cash prize winners for Best Decorated, Best Theme, Most Spirited, Best Commercial Float and the ultimate Grand Prize. Floats entered in the contest were required to be supported by a base of floats, were not allowed to have motors and had to be launch their floating journey from Davis Camp. While floats of more than 10 are usually prohibited, trailered floats entered in the contest were required to have personal water craft to assist in navigation (such as a paddle or oar).

After the nine-mile journey, water enthusiasts exited the river at Rotary Park and were already anticipating next year’s milestone celebration of the River Regatta.

The weekend’s festivities kicked off with pre-float parties offered by Laughlin Resorts and concluded with an awards ceremony and post-float parties.
