And the Riverwalk is always available for couples to reconnect and enjoy a leisurely stroll.

For those looking for more adventure in their getaway, Laughlin does not disappoint. The Big Bend State Park offers outdoor recreation for the truly adventurous. For the adrenaline junkies, Laughlin offers the option to rent an ATV or UTV to explore the Mojave Desert with serious horsepower. Slingshot 220 tours put visitors behind the wheel of a three-wheeled roadster, allowing them to explore at their own speed.

On the water, visitors can go for a leisurely paddle in a kayak or at faster pace aboard a personal watercraft. Guests who prefer the passenger seat but still want a thrill can try the London Bridge Jet Boat Tour, a one-of-a-kind sight-seeing tour down the Colorado River through beautiful Topock Gorge and to the world-famous London Bridge in Lake Havasu City, AZ.

Only a short trip away, but with a variety of dining, gaming, outdoor activities and more, Laughlin has so much to offer.
