Hundreds of car enthusiasts rushed to the streets of Mesquite as more than 500 vehicles were on display at the CasaBlanca Resort & Casino. In partnership with the Las Vegas Cruisin’ Association, the third annual Super Run Car Show provided three days of nonstop excitement, including roaring engine competitions, slow drags, burn-out contests, and open header cruises.
As attendees scoured over a variety of vintage rides, hot rods, custom automobiles, classics, and more, car collectors all looked to take home their share of the cash prize. Each year, the event and title sponsor, Mesquite Gaming, gives away more than 260 total awards plus $15,000 in cash and drawing prizes for car show participants. On Sept. 22, the CasaBlanca Resort & Casino and Mesquite Mayor Allan Litman awarded the top prizes to the following representatives:
—People’s Choice Award: Peter Foster from St. George, 1929 Peirce Arrow Model 133 Rumble Seat Coupe.
—Participants Pick Award: Shane & Tanya Switzer from Las Vegas, Nevada, 1954 Chevy Corvette.

“We had another great turnout and an amazing collection of vehicles at this year’s Super Run Car Show,” said Christian Adderson, corporate sales manager at Mesquite Gaming. “Each year, Super Run is always a really fun event because car enthusiasts get the opportunity to not only see some incredible vehicles, but they also get to see them in action during the cruises and competitions.”
