• Gaming tables await you in Laughlincasino image by Valery Sibrikov from Fotolia.com
  
  Founded in 1968 by Don Laughlin, the town of Laughlin, Nevada, has since grown from one casino resort hotel to more than eleven casino resorts. Situated on the banks of the beautiful Colorado river, Laughlin is sometimes considered a more laid-back alternative to the excitement and glamour of Las Vegas.
  
  Gaming and live shows with name-brand entertainers are the major draw to Laughlin. But if you enjoy getting outdoors, you will find several golf courses nearby. Boating and swimming on the Colorado River offers many water opportunities. For something a bit more rugged, visit the newly established Big Bend State Recreation Area, just a few miles south of town on the banks of the river.
  
  However you choose to spend your day, comfortable accommodations await you in Laughlin.
