Re: Free Laughlin Day Trip

Flamingo, Nugget and god knows what else has sister properties in Lauglin,
the trip is provided by someone to get you to drop some money into the
economy, ie slots, lunch etc.... I think its a good deal if you have time,
I rented a car earlier this month and found the outlet mall across the main
street to have some bargains. (no outlet mall where I live)

Re: Free Laughlin Day Trip

The trick is you are wasting a day that could be spent in Vegas in
Laughlin. Kinda like having a date with Angelina Jolie and getting a
free coupon to spend part of that date with her grandmother instead.

I don't think there is a trick. From our days 'winter visiting' in Lake
Havasu City, we got many chances to take a free trip to Laughlin.
Usually included free buffet and $2 in nickels. Not a lot of food, but
you didn't leave hungry either. Only problem might be if said place was
Harrah's -- not close to any of the other casinos, but the best food in
town. However, I'm not sure if Harrah's does it any more.

Re: Free Laughlin Day Trip

There is really no trick. They just want you to come ot Laughlin and drop
your money there. The river is nice but not much else to really do except
gamble.

Laughlin is a pale comparison to Las Vegas of course, but the some of the
casinos are nice. Harrahs is probably the best in terms of rooms, food,
etc.

Bowling is an inexpensive option - bowl a few games, drink a few beers,
keeps you out of that hot summer sun! Don Laughlin's car collection is
a nice way to spend an hour, and it's free. Both at the Riverside.

Or, if you're into motorcycles, come during the Laughlin River Run.

Jet-ski rental on the river.

They book some decent entertainment too. We went to Laughlin for our
anniversary in November of 2001 (everybody was talking about the Arabs
attacking Las Vegas next) - Harrah's had Willie Nelson at their outdoor
venue. Fantastic concert, the guy came out, picked up his guitar, and
just flat out played and sang for 2 solid hours.

There's an outlet mall across the street from the casinos, for those
who are so inclined - they have a movie theatre attached, believe it's
4 or 5 screens.

OK, yeah, pretty much out of ideas now. Back to the big 3 : eat,
drink, and gamble - possibly all at the same time. But, if it's just a
day trip, you can probably keep yourself amused without spending too
much time gambling.

They used to do free Laughlin day trips here in Phoenix 10 or 15 years
ago. Think they are something like $5 or $10 now. The bus would pick
you up at a mall parking lot at like 3 or 4 AM, hit a few more pickups,
drive to Laughlin and dump you at the Flamingo or the Colorado Belle,
give you a coupon book, leave again around 6 or 7 PM, back to Phoenix
around midnight. Did that once or twice, wouldn't do it again. I
think those free Laughlin day trips kind of lost their allure when the
Indian casinos started opening around here.
