Laughlin is Nevada's second gaming corridor — 10 casinos lining the Colorado River facing Bullhead City, Arizona. Don Laughlin's Riverside Resort, Aquarius, and Harrah's anchor the strip. The market draws value-oriented visitors from Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Southern California. Nevada's no-income-tax advantage fully applies.
Laughlin offers some of the most affordable living of any Nevada gaming market. Cross-river Bullhead City, AZ provides even cheaper housing. The desert climate is extreme in summer but mild in winter, making it attractive for retirees and second-career professionals.
Laughlin was founded in 1966 by Don Laughlin, who is still the largest employer in the city he created.
License: Nevada Gaming Control Board license required. Laughlin properties have licensing coordinators and active relationships with the NGCB office in Las Vegas.
