Thanks for the info on Laughlin. We have been before, but never stayed over or got on a boat. We drove down via Boulder City (which I like for a wander, it's so old fashioned compared to Vegas). It was a cloudy day in a September and weirdly cool weather when we left Vegas about 8 or 9am. We got to Laughlin and it was comfortable, but the sun came out and it became rather unbearable.

We would like to see London Bridge, and I had forgotten we saw boat trips. Would save us from driving down there (unless we feel we need to be in the air-conditioned car!!). I had also forgotten there were water taxis, we just walked along the 'riverwalk' last time. I remember Harrah's being so far over, and I'm not sure if I'd rather be in the middle like at Golden Nugget or Aquarius.


Is Bullhead worth a visit?

Bullhead is not really worth a visit other than the laundry and gas station/ car wash. you can pretty much see all it has to offer from a high floor in the hotel overlooking the river. We ate in a couple of places there just for a change.

My mate said I should post a photo I have of an ambidextrous car? I think he meant amphibious that I snapped passing on a river taxi, or the float plane taxiing up to the casino jetty but I've never worked out how to post pics?

As you will know I only got back from Vegas a fortnight ago and was about to book NYC for May.

Vegas has creeped back on to the radar and I am currently pricing up another trip! Oops!

Anyone read that Cyber-Monday was gonna show a few Vegas hotels doing special deals ???

Well, done my searches, on the UK sites, as well as the US sites, along with the US sites who show Cyber deals, etc.....
Results, compared to my searches from 19th Sep and 20th Oct, and 20th Nov = the same..............
Must be Cyber Monday every day!!!!

I've had a couple of emails - one from TR for example but the rates didn't look that great.

you now get a page that says online booking not available and gives a number to call reservations - kind of defeats the object of 'Cyber Monday'

The Factory outlet shop in Laughlin seemed very run down when I called in in Oct a lot of the foodcourt has closed even McDs has left.
The new walk way which goes over a footbridge to the north is very nice for an afternoon walk and must have cost the town a lot of money to build.

Cosmo cyber Monday offer is pretty pants. Rates not much better than normal and require full pre-payment with no cancellation.
