Along the banks of the Colorado River and nestled between surrounding majestic mountains, emerges the picturesque destination named for gaming pioneer Don Laughlin. Founded in 1966, Don Laughlin’s Riverside Resort Hotel & Casino in Laughlin, Nevada, is the town’s first and only family owned and operated resort. This is Nevada style gaming in a small town atmosphere.
“My grandfather, Don Laughlin, always enjoyed having a variety of gaming and non-gaming activities so no one is left out of the fun,” said Matt Laughlin, Don Laughlin’s grandson and the Riverside Resort Chief Operating Officer. “If you are interested in table games, we have blackjack, craps, roulette, Three Card Poker, Deuces Wild, Ultimate Texas Hold ’em, Let it Ride, Mississippi Stud, Face Up Pai Gow and more.”
For slot lovers, there are many variations of Buffalo machines, wheel of fortune, lightning links, Blazing 7’s, plus video poker and four card keno. Riverside is also known for their Poker Room and Bingo Paradise.
For those not feeling competitive on the casino floor, there is a 34-lane bowling center, 6-plex movie theater, salon and day spa, USS Riverside boat tour, classic car collection, Don’s Celebrity Theatre indoor showroom, plus two beautiful pools overlooking the river including our south tower adult pool and bar. “We have something for everyone,” Laughlin said.
Although gaming is one of the biggest draws for many guests, it’s only one of many activities during a stay at the Riverside Resort Hotel and Casino. Cool off in the water at the South Tower adults-only pool and bar, overlooking the scenic Colorado River. For visitors with children, check out the north tower family-friendly pool.
Looking for another way to spend some time outdoors? Set sail on the USS Riverside, the resort’s cruise boat that takes guests under the Laughlin Bridge up to Davis Dam. Guests can feel the wind on the shaded outdoor upper deck or check out the views from the climate-controlled lower deck. Listen to the narrated history of the Colorado River while cruising during a sunset.
For those more comfortable in indoor climates, there are plenty of entertainment options to choose from.
Pick up a ball and try a game of bowling at the Riverside Lanes Bowling Center. For fun-for-the-whole-family, check out the resort’s Laser Tag Center. Kids and adults alike will get their heart rate up and have a great time trying to score points for their team.
Don’s Celebrity Theatre never disappoints with weekly entertainment. From Collin Raye to the Bronx Wanderers to Crystal Gayle to Queen Nation or The Nutcracker Ballet, there is a show for everyone.
The resort has a 6-plex movie theater with brand new plush recliners and attached swivel tables. Guests can watch first-run movies with full bar service and an extensive food and beverage menu.
The resort’s Jean Jeffrey Salon and Day Spa is for guests who want to be pampered. Reserve facials, massages, body wraps, scrubs, manicures, pedicures, haircuts and more.
To recharge after a fun-filled day, check out any of the Resort’s nine restaurants and snack bars. Indulge in French, Italian, or steakhouse cuisine at the famous upscale Gourmet Room & Lounge. Experience incredible views and slow-cooked prime rib at the Prime Rib Room on the River. Craving a buffet? Enjoy the Riverside Resort’s Brunch and Dinner buffets with incredible views of the Colorado River and Black Mountains. For casual fare, drop into the Riverview Restaurant open 6:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., Casa Serrano Restaurant and Cantina, or try the deli-style Sidewalk Café open 24-hours.
“Having several dining options is also something we are proud of,” said Laughlin. “The Gourmet Room has been a staple here for over 30 years. It’s an incredible place to dine. The Prime Rib Room on the River says it all. Prime Rib and Laughlin go hand in hand plus this restaurant features amazing sunset views. Our 24-hour Sidewalk Café is perfect for on-the-go sandwiches and our buffet is sure to have all your favorite brunch and dinner dishes. Our Casino West Snack bar is also a favorite because we serve Krispy Krunchy Chicken. And don’t forget about Fatburger, Cinnabon and Red Brick Pizza for more fast bite options.”
