    We go there at least once a month. We live in Kingman, AZ and go to Bullhead City to shop and then finish up in Laughlin for dinner and to play a bit. SO much better than Vegas for we retired folk

      have you been to the crash site from May 18, 1953 in Kingman? We tried to make it there back in the 1980s but never could locate it.

    30 miles from Laughlin going south on 95 from BHC, AZ is Oatman, AZ which will take you back 100 years and its a old time town with post office that hand cancels all the mail with there trade mark and its a fun place. As for BHC and Laughlin we love are 5 & 10 night stays. Stay at most of them but now Pioneer Club for we take are dogs. Love Laughlin as a second home.

      We go to Laughlin a few times a year. Most recent visit was late Feb, 2020...saw KISS at the LEC (Laughlin Events Center). Have stayed at the Flamingo Lughlin / Aquarius a few time. I don't like the angled views of the river in the rooms there.

      Yep your right buddy that was back in the 90s. The Gold River was once River Palms and originally Sam's Town in the 70s and 80s. Golden Nugget was originally the Nevada Club. I use to make Alot of money on that strip

    If I'm going that far on a trip, I'm going to Las Vegas. I've been through Laughlin. It looks like a real note. However if they had good enticements to get you into their casinos, like Vegas used to years ago. They used to comp your meals or have 1.99 prime rib to get you into the casinos. If you lost at the tables, you'd get free show tickets. They acted like they wanted you to come back. You had a great time whether you won or lost.

  • @kenmazikowski6313
    @kenmazikowski6313 4 роки тому +1

    This video is very informative Herb. But i did notice one error. You were giving the history of the Aquarius and I noticed you said that is was called the Tropicana until it was sold. It was also owned by Hilton and was named The Flamingo. They and Harrah's used to have a bus hat brought people from Phoenix and Scottsdale, AZ to the Hotel. They ceased to have that amenity when diesel fuel and gasoline were so high that the company providing the serve discontinued it. The casinos lost my cash when that happened.

    • @eckankar7756
      @eckankar7756 3 роки тому

      I remember the shuttles to the hotel. It was a big thing, very well advertised. I never did do one but knew friends that loved to take them up there. I think you had to have so much cash with you and had to stay in the hotel for so many hours for the deal.

  • @OrdinaryDude
    @OrdinaryDude 4 роки тому

    One minor correction... The Colorado Belle is not primarily a gaming location. She boasts nearly 1200 rooms, as the two hotel buildings to the north, are attached to the hotel/casino building themed as a river ship. I'm sad that they have no plans to re-open her. I've never been to Laughlin, but I planned to stay there next year.

    • @Frank-James
      @Frank-James 4 роки тому +2

      Derek Allyn hopefully they will bring her back better than ever. But knowing what I know that will likely not happen. When Golden Ent. purchased it......I believe their goal was to reduce the amount of available rooms and gambling options in Laughlin. The current 11,000 hotel rooms can no longer be supported by the number of tourists that come to Laughlin. The vacancy rates are just too low. Don’t be surprised if the Pioneer is pushed out next.

    Commercial land across the river is so cheap! $26,000 buys a 50x100 square foot commercial lot with a view of the casinos on the Arizona side in Old Bullhead City, AZ. Unbelievable. And jet ski businesses are looking for room to expand.

      Sadly, the tables were too rigged with 7 spots for players...that makes it more difficult to win. The fewer the spots/players, the more you win. And they didn't open tables till noon....that hurt them.
