Casinos in Laughlin
Laughlin sits near the southern tip of Nevada on the Colorado River, with Bullhead City, Arizona, directly across the water. Most of its casino hotels line Casino Drive along the riverbank and compete on cheap rooms, river views, pools and beaches rather than glamour. Avi, the Fort Mojave Indian Tribe's resort, is the exception, several miles south of the main strip with its own beach.

All 9 venues in Laughlin, ranked
How the ranking works. Venues are ordered by their Google rating, weighted by how many people left one: every rating is blended with a neutral 4.0 as if the venue had 200 more reviews at 4.0, so a 4.6 from thousands of reviews ranks above a 5.0 from a dozen. Sponsorship has no effect on the order. Ratings last checked October 2026.

Gaming in Laughlin
The same few complaints run through reviews all over town. Most of these hotels are decades old, and even refreshed rooms get called dated. Summer heat tests the air conditioning, and guests at several properties describe rooms that never cooled down. At more than one hotel, guests reported being billed hundreds of dollars for smoking in a nonsmoking room when they say they never smoked, so it is worth checking the room and your bill closely.
