Visit to Laughlin

Caren and I just got back from Lauglin, Nevada where we were visiting my brother, Gary and his wife Shar. The above picture is Laughlin at night. Laughlin is located on the Colorado River.
Gary and Shar moved from Huntington Beach, CA to Bullhead City, Arizona. Bullhead is just across the river from Laughlin. I told Shar that she must love my brother to leave the beach for the desert especially when temperatures reach 115 to 120 degrees in the summer. My brother loves "the river" and always has. But to leave the beach??? I love him but he's a little crazy.

This is a daytime view. Laughlin is sort of a mini Vegas with hotels and casinos. Lots of people from California go there to gamble. It's less expensive than Vegas, too. I actually won $78.00.

WOW! Well, it did help to pay part of the trip.

This time we stayed at the Colorado Belle which you can tell has a riverboat theme. We had two nights of free rooms so of course I went for it! I love my brother and will drive miles and miles and miles to prove it! It's a 4 to 5 hour drive from Riverside to Laughlin (depending on traffic and whether one goes above the speed limit). As I said I adore my brother but this will be my last visit until the summer is over unless we meet in a cooler climate.
