Laughlin, Nevada, is the ideal getaway for showgoers who want a dazzling show experience in a small-town setting. For visitors in search of world-class comedy, headliner performances, water-based activities, hiking, golfing and, of course, casinos, this is the place to be! Read on for our guide of what to do while in Laughlin for a show, including pre- and post-concert experiences.

 

Stay Close to the Action  

Conveniently located less than a mile from one of the most popular concert venues, Laughlin Event Center, sit three incredible resorts. Each resort offers incredible on-site dining, as well as various bars and lounges to check out before or after the show. At Don Laughlin’s Riverside Resort, you’ll have the option of a mountain or river view, plus it often offers concert packages, which typically include transportation, event tickets and a few nights’ stay. Tropicana Laughlin has an outdoor pool, open seasonally, with cabana rentals for guests to enjoy, so if poolside is your preference, give this resort a try! Edgewater Casino Resort includes two towers, each offering incredible sights of the Colorado River. And, of course, it’s where you’ll find the L.A. Comedy Club, another popular show venue in Laughlin.

Take in the Sights, Relax and Shop

Nestled along the tranquil banks of the Colorado River, Laughlin has a robust offering when it comes to experiences and activities. Whether you’re an adventure seeker or prefer to spend your time relaxing at the spa, there’s plenty of things to do!

Take in breathtaking views and the unforgettable Southwestern landscapes while on a scenic Laughlin River cruise with Laughlin River Tours. If you’re choosing to go before a show, opt for the 90-minute tour that has a full-service bar onboard and provides details of the city’s history. If you’ve already caught your show and want to spend a relaxing evening on the river, enjoy the two-hour sunset cruise, which includes a freshly prepared dinner.

Bask in the picturesque beauty of the surrounding Mojave Desert by strolling on the Laughlin Riverwalk, a paved path that’s accessible by six of Laughlin’s resorts. For a preshow treat, take a stroll at sunset to catch the gorgeous sights!
