Laughlin Casino Tour
Laughlin, Nevada and it’s Strip of casinos sit just about 90 minutes from Las Vegas. The town sits right on the Colorado River just across from Bullhead City, Arizona and is a popular summer time hangout for water junkies. Retirees tend to fill the casinos and rooms the rest of the year.
Despite being a very small town, Laughlin has 10 hotels and over 10,000 rooms waiting for tourists. I visited here a few times when I was a kid and the town hasn’t changed all that much. The casinos have seemingly all gone through many owners and names, but Laughlin is still Laughlin. What does that mean? Let me show you!
Quirky Casinos, Brutal Sun & Old Casinos!
I recently headed out to the Laughlin Strip to walk around, head out on the water and see what the casinos are like. I tend to pass through Laughlin and Bullhead City a couple of times per year, but hadn’t stopped to look around for awhile. What I found is quite interesting!
This video is part 1 of 2. In this video we look at some of the quirky casinos and hotels, plus we dive a bit into the history of some of these properties. In part 2 coming next week we’ll get out on the water to see the entire Strip, plus we’ll look at the nicer hotels in Laughlin and the oldest one! True history right there!

Nice Tesla! Are’s there charging spots in Las Vegas strip hotels?
Yeah some of the types of charger I showed in the video (Tesla Destination Chargers) can be found in some casinos in their valets or garages. Also Linq has Tesla Superchargers which charge even faster and there are quite a few other spots around.
This looks terrible. Water looks nice but thats not enuff to draw me.
It really is beautiful but some of the casinos do seem to be from another time.
Funny you call Laughlin Vegas’ little brother. I always think of Reno as Vegas’ skanky little sister.
Very interesting video, but dude, you are being way too nice to those casinos. The rooms at Edgewater and Laughlin River Lodge are dumps. The only places in Laughlin I’d stay at again are Harrah’s and the Aquarius. The only problem is both suffer from thin wall syndrome, but both have adults-only towers if the noise is a bother.
Any chance you did a quick walk through Don Laughlin’s car collection?
The car collection is closed, but I did film (through the glass) the display that can be found outside near the main entrance.
No, Reno is Vegas’s little sister with better weather and better gambling, but fewer hookers.
I’m surprised there’s a casino that has windows on the gaming floor… that’s a first!
Yes it’s so bright and beautiful! That’s the main draw of Laughlin I think so they do everything they can to take advantage of it.
