Laughlin is the place to stay if you're visiting Grand Canyon West and want to stay in affordable resort-style accommodations, venture out by boat or jet ski on the Colorado River, enjoy good restaurants, outlet shopping and nightlife. Laughlin is particularly attractive to visitors who like the gaming action and live entertainment of Las Vegas, but need a vacation from their vacation after dealing with Vegas' signature noise, traffic and 24-hour lifestyle. The riverfront casino hotels in Laughlin frequently offer room rates as low as $30/night, as to attract visitors to the casino floors, but even if you're not into slots and table games, you can take advantage of their reasonable prices. Stay for a night or two, and make Laughlin your home base for day-trips to Grand Canyon West, Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, Lake Havasu, Oatman and more.
