Surrounded by the beauty of the Mojave Desert, Laughlin is located on the scenic Colorado River and offers incredible things to do along the river year-round!   

• Discover Colorado River’s assortment of fish species below Davis Dam, which offers maintained riverbanks, stunning views and a tranquil landscape.

• Sit back and enjoy the picturesque scenery with London Bridge Jet Boat Tours, which offers excursions through Thanksgiving. The round-trip ride travels 58 miles (about 93 kilometers) down the Colorado River, through Topock Gorge, an area only accessible by water that features views of volcanic rock faces, desert wildlife and Native American petroglyphs. You’ll dock for a two-hour layover at the historic London Bridge in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, where you can do some shopping and enjoy a bite to eat!  

• While Laughlin has several top-notch restaurants (more on those later), only one floats down the Colorado River! Laughlin River Tours’ Sunset Dinner Cruise offers a three-course meal and full-service bar aboard the air-conditioned Grand Celebration boat. The two-hour trip, which takes off from Aquarius Casino Resort, is great for couples, groups of friends or the whole family.  

Land Activities

Laughlin offers an incredible assortment of things to do. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing walk or a full-on adventure, there’s something for everyone!   

• Get acquainted with the area’s flora and fauna during a leisurely walk or bicycle ride at Colorado River Heritage Greenway Park & Trails.  

• Go birdwatching at Big Bend of the Colorado State Recreation Area. See if you can spot some of the mallards, coots, herons and geese that live at the park. You might also get a bird’s-eye view of hawks, roadrunners, quail, hummingbirds, doves or owls.  

• Take in the desert landscape while working your way through eight stone mazes at the Laughlin Labyrinths. Just a short walk from the resorts (and maybe a ride on the convenient water taxis for some), the labyrinths range from 25 to 50 feet (about 7 to 15 meters) in diameter and offer elevated views of the glittering river and towering resorts. Consider going during golden hour for great photo ops and stick around to watch a breathtaking Southern Nevada sunset!  

• Tee off at Mojave Resort Golf Club! Rated four stars by Golf Digest, this 18-hole championship course offers wind-shaped sand dunes, and picturesque views of the Colorado River and the surrounding desert landscape. After an exhilarating round, relax with an al fresco lunch at the lounge, where you can take in the stunning mountain views.

Tours/Day Trips  

Laughlin is amid several historic sites and national parks, offering visitors a long list of sightseeing opportunities.

• Let Laughlin Tours  do the legwork for you, as the company offers planned adventures throughout the area. Enjoy a tour to Kingman, Arizona, which features a wine and mead tasting and a distillery and brewery tour with lunch. Other tours explore attractions like the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam.

• Just a 45-minute drive away, the town of Oatman keeps the Wild West alive with staged gunfights, wooden sidewalks and free-roaming burros. Experience the frontier days on the city’s vibrant Main Street, which is filled with boutiques and eateries. The once-booming gold-mining center is also a popular spot on the iconic Route 66, offering another slice of Americana to explore.  

• Be your own navigator during a scenic drive through Christmas Tree Pass. You can see the Colorado River valley from the 12-mile, one-way (19-kilometer) route, which is a gravel road navigable by most vehicles; however, one with more clearance is best for potential ruts or washes. The road has been designated as part of the Avi Kwa Ame National Monument, and passes a trail featuring Native American petroglyphs and leads to the trailhead of a wilderness area at Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
