Laughlin, Nevada is like a smaller version
of Las Vegas, only on the Colorado River; on the other side of the river is
Bullhead City, Arizona. We’ve stayed in
Laughlin a couple of times in the past, so off we went.
A paved path, the Riverwalk, runs in front
of the casinos along the Colorado River the views across and along the river
are gorgeous.
The Pioneer Hotel & Gambling Hall
The Colorado Belle Hotel & Casino
We thought we’d see if we could win our
fortune on the slots but now it’s all computerized and the days of inserting a
quarter and pulling the lever are long gone.
Quite honestly we just weren’t that interested in figuring it out, so we walked on by.
Diesel and groceries are far more expensive
on the California side of the Colorado River, as we needed both we decided to pick
up both in Bullhead City on our drive back.
So that particular day we went from
California, to Nevada, to Arizona and then back to California, by the time we
got back we weren’t at all sure which time zone we were in!
After a few days in Needles we moved on, stopping
for diesel we treated ourselves to some mini cinnabons, (cinnamon rolls) they
were absolutely scrumptious but not exactly what I’d call ‘mini’!
As you can see two ‘vanished’ as soon as
the box was opened. Amazing that!
Have fun,
we are!
