Fodor's Expert Review Don Laughlin's Riverside Resort Hotel and Casino

1650 S. Casino Dr., Laughlin, Nevada, 89029, USA

Town founder Don Laughlin has created a city within itself here—bowling alleys, movies, concerts, you name it—sprawling with piecemeal additions that even straddle Casino Drive with a pedestrian pass. A recent remodel refreshed the rooms and added power seats in the movie theater and stadium seating in the Celebrity Theater concert venue. The Loser's Lounge, with its graphic homage to famous losers, such as the Hindenburg, the Titanic, and the like, is consistently a popular nightspot in Laughlin. Don't pass up Don's free classic-car showroom, with more than 80 rods, roadsters, and tin Lizzies.
