We arrived in Laughlin, NV on Saturday. We stayed at the AVI Resort and Casino which is on the outskirts of the town of Laughlin. It was kind of nice to see civilization. After we got settled in Jim and I went for a ride into town just to check it out. It reminded us of a mini Las Vegas only with trees. We ate dinner at the Colorado Bell which is a resturaunt and of course casino built to look like a river boat. It was really kind of neat. Of course I forgot to bring my camera so now that we have been to Laughlin, I don't have any pictures to show. The pictures above are of the AVI as we were riding toward it. It is along the Colorado River and there are some beautiful homes built along the river. The next day, we had a 99 cent breakfast in the casino then spent $10 in slots. Well I did anyway, Jim was not going to ruin his big save on breakfast by gambling. I broke even so I was happy -- I got to play and didn't lose anything. Right across the street from the casino was another campground and believe it or not another gem show. Jim and I went for a bike ride and then visited the gem show before heading back to the RV. The stuff we saw there didn't even come close to the deals or quality we saw in Quartzsite. Gave us a real appreciation for Quartzsite and for what Quartzsite is all about. Later that day we took a ride over to Bullhead City, AZ which was on the other side of the river just to check it out. We heard gas was $2.39 so we took advantage of the deal and got gas. That evening we went back to the casino. I made $14, Jim lost $5. Believe me he was not a happy camper! Well off to Las Vegas on Monday.
