our trip to Laughlin

Good afternoon.
We've just returned from a 3 nite stay in Laughlin, Nevada. It's just about a 2 hour drive from our house down to near the tip of the state and on the Colorado river. We stayed at a different hotel this trip. We have stayed at the Aquarius in the past, thanks to free or discounted nites, but we got a voucher for 3 free nites at Harrahs from one of our neighbors, so we thought that might be a nice change. Here's a view from the hotel overlooking the river....

Here's a couple of pics of their beach....

They have a small bay in front of the hotel, so they are the only resort here with a beach. And it's one of the larger resorts with 3 hotel towers in the resort complex, along with 2 pools, several restaurants and bars and a showroom for entertainment, besides a large casino gaming area.
Since there is a lot of space between some of the resorts along the river, they have a water taxi that goes from one to the others. We took it up and down the river to the various resorts. Eating and drinking our way from one end to the other.   :-)

This is the Colorado Belle. One of the 'themed' casino hotels. And no, it's not on the river, but right next to it.
Then one day we drove a couple of hours down to Lake Havasu Arizona where they have the real London Bridge...

They actually dismantled it and shipped it over and rebuilt it. It goes from the mainland to an 'island' in the river. They've built numerous bars, restaurants, resorts and shops along each side for the tourists.
Now back in Laughlin, we had pretty good luck the first 2 nites, but gave it all back on the 3rd.   :-(
Oh well, that's how it goes sometimes. But we had a nice time, good food, great weather, and a nice room. And, we got there safe, and back safe.
So as I always say...it was a good trip.   :-)
