Laughlin: Recreation
Laughlin, the popular Nevada city by the river, attracts a whopping 5 million visitors annually. It is known to many as one of Nevada?s premier gaming resort destinations, next to Las Vegas and Reno. And indeed, most people do go to Laughlin to gamble in one of the many casinos and hotels that line the river, including the popular Colorado Belle, a mock river boat that?s nearly as wide as the Colorado River itself.
The nine or so hotel/casinos and one motel in Laughlin providing over 10,000 rooms, 125,000 square feet of meeting space, 60 restaurants, two museums, a 34-lane bowling center and a variety of boutiques, spas and salons.
