Away from the bustle of Casino Drive, Laughlin exudes a laidback atmosphere along with vast expanses of land and rugged mountain views. Laughlin also provides ample opportunities for year-round outdoor recreation, from hiking the historic Grapevine Canyon to all kinds of water-based activities on Lake Mohave and the Colorado River. Laughlin touts a small-town sense of community, which is fostered by events like the Laughlin River Run, barbeque competitions, classic car shows, rodeos, and so much more. Commuting and traveling from Laughlin is easy with convenience to Highways 163, 95, and 68 as well as Laughlin-Bullhead International Airport.
