If you go to Laughlin try the buffet at Harrah's, it is great.....Laughlin is a great one day trip, the river is beautiful and the casinos are very friendly.....food is great and the prices are fair......on the way back to Las Vegas, stop at Boulder Dam....in the late afternoon huge catfish swim on the top of the lake near the dam, very interesting place to visit.....The drive back to Las Vegas is beautiful with lots of casinos if you stay on Boulder Highway.....
