What to do and see in Laughlin, Nevada (NV): The Best Casinos & Gambling

October 18, 2021 Brandee Mangan

Hit the casinos, watch big-name entertainment and stay at a themed hotel. Las Vegas? No, but this small gambling town on the banks of the Colorado River offers a taste of Vegas minus the glitz, traffic and high costs. Plus, there's much to do here besides gambling. Not only does Laughlin have the Colorado River for boating, swimming, fishing, waterskiing and other sports, but it also has gorgeous Lake Mohave offering much of the same on a grander scale. Golfers will enjoy beautiful courses where reasonable green fees stretch their dollars. For a taste of the Wild West, head to nearby 100-year-old Oatman, where you can catch a mock gunfight and guzzle beer in an old-time saloon. Hiking, anyone? Grapevine Canyon awaits you, famous for the Indian markings - some 800 years old - carved into its boulders. If the slots are calling, you'll find plenty of gaming houses, with water shuttles running between them 24/7. What Laughlin lacks in Vegas glamour, it makes up for in affordability, scenic beauty and aquatic fun.

We come to the Golden Nugget each visit just to stand in the foyer where the live plants and palm trees live among the beautiful waterfall feature. Worth coming just to see this and enjoy Bubba Gumps and gamble!

My wife and I stayed here for two nights. This is a review of the casino. They have both new and older slot machines and two large non-smoking areas. The casino pit has all the popular table games. Good cocktail service on the casino floor. Very nice Race & Sports Book. Very friendly staff. Great dining options in all price points from McDonald's to Outback Steakhouse, and everything in between. Easy parking and great location on the Riverwalk. I will return on my next visit to Laughlin.

As a regular VSIN listener who was heading to Vegas for opening weekend NFL I wanted to make a point of going to watch and wager at the southpoint and it did not disappoint Advice for popular weekends - get there early by first game kicks the lounge area the book and the second lounge near the horses only book we’re packed and it was standing room 2-3 deep for the rest Have some generous drink ticket handouts when you make bets and to be honest the drink specials like $5 for bucket of 5 beers is the best deal going I’ve seen in a sportsbook or sports bar Plenty of windows to handle your action was little to no wait and they have kiosk machines also

Reviewed By 117jessem - Surprise, United States

I've seen reviews that knock this resort casino.. First off the rooms during the week are priced around 25-50 dollars a night. Yes there is a resort fee but if you are a Caesar reward member at the higher level of the program you don't pay the resort fee.. We stay in the south tower with remodeled rooms. The room has mini fridge, back-lit headboard. big size flat screen TV, rain shower head and lighted mirror in restroom.. The draw to going to Laughlin is the river, casino, sand beach, riverwalk, renting jet ski's, outlet mall, river boat tour, pools and hot tub..

Casino at Don Laughlin's Riverside Resort

Reviewed By Gmajonni - Parker, United States

Although we stayed at the Colorado Belle we went to dinner at the Prime Rib room in the Riverside Resort Hotel and Casino. First we had drinks in the Hideaway Martini Lounge which was very intimate and perfect before eating at the Prime Rib room. The Prime Rib was perfect and the sides were great and plentiful. My father treated us for my birthday so I don't know how much it cost, but the food and atmosphere were great. Then we played in the casino for a while. First time playing Roulette and I must say it was a blast. Of course we were winning so....I couldn't find any slot machines that are like the old school ones, which are what I like, so we left after playing roulette.

We only gambled a little bit in this casino. I just wanted to comment oh how nice this older casino is. Most of them have that old smell when you walk in. This one smelled fresh and clean. I wish we could have stayed and gambled longer.

Hands down a great place to eat! Good job Regency Casino !!!!
