My last vacation in February 2007 I went down to Las Vegas and then to Laughlin. I had never been to Laughlin and had a good time. Amazingly I didn�t do that much gambling. While we were in Las Vegas we ran around and checked out all the casinos which took a lot of time. I really think you could spend a whole week there just seeing the different casinos and sights. We went down town to see the Freemont Experience. If you have never seen it you really should. They show a light show on a canopy that covers 2 blocks. We also went out to the Rio and saw their carnival in the sky show. We went to Treasure Island and saw the Sirens of TI. The show was good but I like the old show they had several years back but it is still worth seeing. Another must stop is the fountains at the Bellagio. This is such a wonderful show set to music. When the fountains are going it will actually cool off the temperature by several degrees. There is also the Volcano at the mirage that erupts. This is best seen at night. If you like roller coasters the one at New York New York is the one you want. You also get a good view of the strip but you have to look fast. The Las Vegas strip is something to see.
Laughlin was more casual and a slower pace. The casinos are smaller. The one I like the best here is the Colorado Belle. It looks like an old river boat and that makes it classic. There is also a lot to see there too. We drove down to Lake Havasu and saw the London Bridge, we even drove over it. The bridge was bought by the city and took apart. They shipped it over to the city were it was put back together brick by brick. |
