Located on the Colorado River, Laughlin is an ideal place to take that special someone out on a date. With delectable dining, headliner musicians taking the stage, and more, the destination has everything for a spectacular day or nighttime date. Here are some recommendations you won’t want to miss when you visit Laughlin.  

 
Date #1: Cruise on the Colorado River and find some peace within the Mojave Desert 

Why not get your date going with a thrilling daytime cruise down the Colorado River on a London Bridge Jet Boat Tour? During the ride, enjoy the scenic natural surroundings, including the picturesque Topock Gorge. Upon arrival, you’ll see the magnificent, iconic London Bridge, imported directly from England. While in Havasu City, take a stroll across the bridge, do some shopping, grab a bite to eat at the local eateries, and then resume your trip back to Laughlin.  

Once you dock, head to the Laughlin Labyrinths. Find your peaceful center while exploring the nine mazes ranging from 25 feet to 55 feet. You’ll be surrounded by views of the fantastic landscape of the Mojave Desert — it’s a great way to end the day with your special someone.

Date #2: Savor and delight with a day of pampering  

Starting the day off with some delicious bites is always a fantastic choice, and you and your partner can enjoy a delectable brunch at Bumbleberry Flats at The New Pioneer. Comfort food with a Southern twist awaits, with favorites like chicken and waffles and scrambles. 

After that, get some relaxation in at Jean Jeffrey The Salon & Day Spa at Don Laughlin’s Riverside Resort. The rejuvenating space offers a variety of treatments (including massages, body wraps, facials and more), and they use vegan, organic and cruelty-free products during services, when available.  

After you’ve both been pampered, try your luck on the casino floor. Don Laughlin’s Riverside Resort offers slots, blackjack, poker, roulette, craps and more.

Explore the Mojave Desert while hitting iconic spots, including the famed Route 66, the Hoover Dam and more.
