Laughlin
For over a decade, Brookfield at Fox Creek has continued to grow across the river from Laughlin, Nevada. Located across the Colorado River from Bullhead City, AZ, Laughlin averages over 300 days of sunshine per year. With an average annual rainfall of 1.78 inches, the climate is classified as arid. The average temperature is 75.4 degrees (22 degrees centigrade).A sliver of the Colorado River Valley where Nevada, California and Arizona meet has been transformed into a fast-growing tourist destination and gambling resort in a few short decades.

Laughlin's current location was established in the 1940's with the South Pointe due to its proximity to Nevada's southern tip. The settlement consisted of a motel and bar that catered to gold and silver miners who dotted the map, and to the many construction workers who built Davis Dam. The city by the river now attracts nearly 5 million visitors annually who visit Laughlin to gamble, enjoy water sports on the Colorado and attend many high-profile special events hosted by the community.

Construction is currently underway on the new Hoover Dam Bypass scheduled to begin use in 2008. By developing an alternate crossing of the river near Hoover Dam, through-vehicle and truck traffic would be removed from the top of the dam. This new route would eliminate the problems with the existing roadway--sharp turns, narrow roadways, inadequate shoulders, poor sight distance, and low travel speeds. The route will also remove a major bottleneck to interstate and international commerce and travel in the west by reducing traffic congestion and accidents in this segment of the major commercial route between Phoenix and Las Vegas.
