Laughlin has it's own strip, called Casino Drive. This is the Harrah Laughlin Casino & Hotel's beach on the Colorado River. More information: caesars.com/harrahs-laughlin. Other great hotels on Casino Drive: the Tropicana Laughlin (troplaughlin.com), the Aquarius Resort Hotel (aquariuscasinoresort.com) where you can catch the Celebration for a river cruise (laughlinrivertours.com), and The Colorado Belle Casino Resort (coloradobelle.com). If you're looking for a Las Vegas-class spa, visit the Laughlin Ranch Golf Club (laughlinranch.com), just across the river from Laughlin.

Everyone gets around Laughlin on perky little water taxis that come by every few minutes. You can stay in one hotel, but visit the others by water taxi to try their restaurants, bars, casinos, and gift shops.

This boat takes you from Laughlin, through the Colorado River Gorge, to the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City. Along the way, you will pass Needles, California, and Topock, Arizona, both on Historic Route 66.
