A new article in the Arizona Republic explains the appeal of Laughlin, Nevada, and why some people choose it as a vacation destination rather than Las Vegas. The article likens Laughlin to the Las Vegas of fifty years ago – complete with inexpensive table games and slot machines, steak dinners, and hotel rooms.
The article points out the fact that Las Vegas is so busy and crowded that many people actually prefer the relatively relaxing atmosphere of Laughlin. Additionally, Laughlin is located along the banks of the Colorado River, just a few minutes downstream from Lake Mohave, offering beautiful views and array of water activities.
