We’ll spend the night here. This town has a population of 7076 people and is a port on the Colorado River, 152 km south of Las Vegas. Laughlin is the third most visited casino and resort destination in the state of Nevada, after Las Vegas and Reno. It’s a more family-friendly place, with a lot of outdoor and family activites. The casinos are along the Colorado River and a pedestrian path known as the Laughlin Riverwalk connects them.

-Who in the group is going to walk? Who is going to gamble??

- Do you play cards? Poker? Blackjack? Do you know the four suits in a deck of cards? HEARTS and DIAMONDS are the red cards; SPADES and CLUBS are the black cards.
