Laughlin

For guests seeking the thrill of gambling without all the hustle and bustle of Vegas, Laughlin strikes a perfect balance between natural tranquility and casino excitement. Located adjacent to the Colorado River on the border with neighboring Arizona, Laughlin was first established in the early 1940s as a settlement for gold and silver miners as well as to construction workers from the Hoover Dam.

Laughlin sits across the river from the Arizona's Bullhead City and is also in close proximity to the California border. While early tourists were ferried across the river in boats, modern tourists can now drive across the two states via the Laughlin Bridge, built by the city’s namesake Don Laughlin in 1987. The city offers typical vacation recreation such as golf, gambling and water recreation. The backdrop of the Colorado River creates a particularly stunning backdrop to one of six Laughlin area golf clubs. Here the desert meets the water and Laughlin is the oasis destination. Visitors can lodge at any of the city’s eight casino and hotel properties, each of which grace the banks of the Colorado River. Gambling opportunities are in ample supply at any of the casino properties including Harrah’s, Aquarius, Golden Nugget and Edgewater casinos plus many more. River recreation includes rental outlets for canoes and kayaks as well as jet skis and facilities for chartered Yacht cruises.
