They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, but that may be wrong when it comes to vacation destinations. Laughlin’s ability to mix picturesque beauty with amazing entertainment has helped it win over its share of first-time visitors, who are often surprised by the wide range of unique vacation experiences available to them at the waterfront town.

When you book a discount vacation visit to Laughlin through Vacation Now, you’ll have a better understanding why all of those experiences come wrapped in personalized, friendly service that has vacationers saying “only in Laughlin.”

Here are some of the unique ways Laughlin, Nevada, makes loyal followers of first-time visitors to this unique city just a two-hour drive from Las Vegas on the Colorado River.

Entertainment diversity

Maybe you’re coming to town for a major headlining concert at the Laughlin Events Center. Perhaps you’ve heard about an up-and-coming comedy talent you can see up close and personal at a lounge or small showroom. Or it could be because you booked a discount getaway with Vacation Now. It’s a wide range of special events including comedy and musical greats and a variety of new events always making their way to Laughlin that will keep you coming back.

Even larger events give the feeling of a smaller, more intimate experience. If you’ve seen an artist or show elsewhere, seeing it in Laughlin brings an added personal touch that makes you feel like you’ve gotten to know a good friend, not just seen a show.

 

Rooms with views and places to muse

Laughlin’s nearly 11,000 rooms offer plenty of value and variety. There are thousands of rooms with river views, two-bedroom suites, specialty rooms with Jacuzzi tubs, ones with patios and balconies and even a luxurious two-story, three-bedroom villa. And for those traveling with their four-legged friends, there are pet-friendly hotels available with onsite amenities to keep everyone in the family happy.

Inside, outside, it’s your choice!

Hike it, boat it, play the tables, take a river tour and everything in between. Laughlin has a one-of-a-kind ability to offer something for all tastes, whether you’re a controlled climate type or an outdoor enthusiast. Casual lounges allow you to unwind and relax after your outdoor recreation or a long day at the tables or slots. And there are ample hiking and walking trails that allow for soft adventure enjoyment of the Colorado River. Fish and boat to your heart’s desire, or test your luck in thousands of feet of the latest games on casino floors, it truly is your choice.

 

Deal factor

Laughlin has long been known as a value play, especially when compared to its sister destination, Las Vegas. Most know that the same show you see in Las Vegas often costs a fraction of the price in Laughlin while you can still enjoy all the glamour associated with gaming and entertainment experiences as well. All year long, hotels and resorts offer comedy packages for festivals and on-going talent showcases like Comedy on the Edge. Properties also offer food and drink deals along with concert packages for major headliners coming to town.  Once first-timer visitors experience Laughlin’s warm hospitality with a headlining event or show, the value proposition feels even greater.

Dining delight

Visitors are constantly surprised by the variety of dining options. Whether you’re in the mood for a touch of Texas, a simple, hearty and casual lunch, a relaxed, casual dinner or American comfort food with a southern twist, there’s something for you in Laughlin. And there’s also an award-winning micro-brewery and fantastic champagne brunches to help make you a Laughlin culinary loyalist.
