Nugget Hotel And Casino

People who like neon-light gambling combined with lots of other low-cost activities head for Laughlin, Nevada. Not only are its hotel rooms in this border town along the Colorado River much less expensive than comparable lodgings in Las Vegas. Food and entertainment cost less, too.

Don Laughlin’s Riverside

Oldest of the border-town’s hotels, the Riverside started out as a boarded-up motel when Laughlin bought it in 1966. Now it’s a high-rise hotel with 1,404 rooms, five restaurants, a showroom, $15 million bowling alley, six-screen movie theater, an auto collection and supervised day care center (1650 S. Casino Drive).

Aquarius

Opened in 1990 as the Flamingo Hilton, the 1,900-room Aquarius is the largest in Laughlin and recently completed a $20 million room renovation project. Its 3,000-seat outdoor amphitheater is the setting for spring and fall concerts by various well-known groups. There’s also a 300-seat cabaret inside the casino. Other favorite dining/drinking spots at Aquarius include the Windows on the River Buffet and H2OH, its open-air lounge on the River Walk (1900 S. Casino Drive).
