Harrah's Laughlin Hotel and Casino

Harrah's Laughlin Hotel & Casino, at the southern end of the Laughlin "Strip", is the second largest hotel/casino in Laughlin and is among the most elegant of all Laughlin resorts. Read on to see what awaits you at Harrahs Laughlin...

Harrahs Laughlin sits atop the hill at the southern end of the Laughlin "Strip". While not a convenient walk from the other Laughlin casinos on the Strip, it is worth spending time here if you have a vehicle or hop on a water taxi.

I stayed here a few years ago and had no complaints about my room or stay. Some of the reviews have stated Harrah's casino slot machines are "tight". I have not found that to be the case. Without spending alot of money in the machines, I have been able to get some nice payoffs (especially on the Video Poker machines in the north "wing".

Harrah's Laughlin Hotel & Casino was opened in 1988 and currently offers over 1500 rooms in their north (family) and central (adult only) towers plus a 55,000 square foot casino (with smoking and non-smoking sections). Harrah's Laughlin is not on the Riverwalk (that starts at the River Palms -the next hotel/casino down the hill) but they do offer a nice white sand beach for their guests and two outdoor swimming pools. The gift shop is the nicest by far of any you will find in Laughlin.

There's a good selection of food options at Harrah's Laughlin. Fast food choices (in case you lost too much money gambling) include McDonalds, Cinnabon, Starbucks and Baskin-Robbins. Traditional dining consists of Baja Blue Restaurant & Cantina, the Beach Cafe, Fresh Market Square Buffet and the Range Steakhouse.

You will find entertainment at Harrah's 300 seat Rio Vista Outdoor Amphitheater during the spring and fall seasons. It is here that Harrah's hosts their concert series of musical entertainers. The Fiesta Showroom features such talent as stand-up comedians, grand illusionists and more.

I like spending time at Harrah's Laughlin. They have a good selection of slots and table games. The surroundings are pleasant. The only drawback is the walking distance to the other casinos (for those without a car). To walk from Harrah's complex to Casino Drive (the "Strip"), you can either walk a winding driveway (not recommended - too dangerous) or climb about 90 steep steps. You will want to take that into consideration if you stay here, are without a car and plan on visiting other casinos located on the Riverwalk.

If hanging out at a beach is a priority during your visit to Laughlin, Harrahs offers a nice beach scene plus a decent pool area. More information on these is pictured below which shows the: 1) Lower level pool area; and, 2) Pictures of the extended beach area. To see a larger, more detailed display, click on any picture.
