| Koi Feeding Gets Cup, Shanghai Circus Brings On Acts, River Run Hosts Harleys, Miss Hawaiian Tropic Pageant Parades Beauties, Mid-Night Special Up The Steaks, More... | |
At 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. daily, it's feeding time for the koi at the north and south ends of the Colorado Belle on the bridges across the moat and on the riverwalk bridge. An employee brings the koi food in a bucket and distributes it to visitors who would like to help feed the fish. Each person who participates receives a special commemorative cup. In 1997, following a general overhaul of the moat, it was stocked with 100 koi. Plants have been added to improve the environment for the fish. Koi, or "Nishikigoi," have been bread and revered in Japan for centuries. What's fascinating is no two are alike. Gurtman and Murtha will present the New Shanghai Circus at the Ramada Express, April 21-24, at 8 p.m. This show will feature acrobatic performers from the Peoples Republic of China. Tickets are $15, call 1-800-243-6846. The Laughlin River Run is set for April 24-28. The event will bring more than 50,000 motorcyclists to the community for four days of top name entertainment, drill team events, poker runs, displays, competitions and vendors galore. The event is billed as the largest ride-in bike rally in the West. The majority of the bikes will be the legendary Harley Davidsons; however, plenty of brands will be represented. This will be the second year for the Bullhead Area Chamber of Commerce to sponsor the Harley Days Trade Fair. Classic jazz and rock band, Blood, Sweat and Tears, will headline on April 27 at Harrah's. Their self-titled album garnered a Grammy award and featured hits liked "You've Made Me So Very Happy," "And When I Die," and "Spinning Wheel." Tickets are $23 and $28. The River Palms will be holding free concerts every afternoon and evening, April 24-27. Some of the groups performing daily are Powderhouse, Rudy T, Luke and the Locomotives and Rocket 88's. The Mid-night Special at the Flamingo is a T-bone steak and eggs with your choice of toast and eggs cooked to order. The price is $1.99, Friday through Wednesday, from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m.

The Miss Hawaiian Tropic Laughlin Beauty Pageant will be returning to the Colorado Belle over River Run weekend. On Friday, visitors can have their photo taken with the ladies and vote for their favorite "Bikers Choice Award." On Saturday, during the pageant, it will be time to cheer for the ladies in the pageant sponsored by the Colorado Belle and Smirnoff Ice. No sooner will the River Run end and the five-day Cinco de Mayo celebration will begin, May 1-5. Victory Plaza at the Ramada Express will be a "Fiesta Village" for the celebration. The resort will feature a fiesta cart of cash and prizes, a slot tournament, and an all-you-can-eat Mexican buffet. There will be plenty of Margaritas too!
