Slower Paced Casino Hopping in Laughlin
Some RVers prefer other Nevada gaming destinations as an alternative to Las Vegas. Laughlin, the City by the River, has a special appeal...it offers a slower-paced, pleasant hiatus. Laughlin is nestled in the Colorado River Valley where Nevada, Arizona and California meet. There are 11 Vegas-style casinos in Laughlin plus more than 60 restaurants. It is relaxing to stroll along the walkway on the riverfront where most of the casinos are located. Sightseeing aboard the USS Riverside is a popular non-gaming activity.
Laughlin is RV-friendly. It has two full-service RV Resorts and free overnight parking is permitted at many casino parking lots. At Harrah's (end of the Laughlin Casino Drive Strip), RVs can park for free for up to 3 days, but registration at the gas station is required. There is a dump at the gas station ($3 fee.) Other casinos permit overnight parking, but RVers should be sure to check with Security for guidelines regarding their parking policy before settling in.
The two RV Parks in town are both very nice destination resorts. The city itself is named for Don Laughlin, owner of the Riverside Resort, who settled there in 1966. His terraced RV Park has a lovely view of the mountains. The Avi Resort, 11 miles from the Laughlin Strip, has a pretty KOA RV Park and a white sand beach on the banks of the Colorado River. RV guests can enjoy all the amenities at the large casino resort including the 9,000 square-foot lagoon pool that is heated year-round.

We stayed at the Riverside RV Park in Laughlin in January. I wouldn't recommend it. The original sites would have been nice, but they have now cut those in half and you're jammed in like sardines!! Sorry.....wouldn't stay there again.

We stayed at Riverside in November and found it to be great. The sites were ample for our tow trailer with slide out. We had a problem with our propane regulator and the office staff was very helpful. we would stay again in a minute!
