6 Best Hotels in Southeast Nevada, Nevada

This huge hotel has a more spacious feel compared to others along Casino Drive, and the rooms offer some of the best river views around. A nice addition is the contemporary Duet Coffee & Wine, where you can use the free Wi-Fi and kick back with a coffee drink or vino by the bottle or glass. The casino includes a sports book and 1,250 slot and video poker machines. An Outback Steakhouse and a casual Italian restaurant with seasonal patio seating are also on-site.

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.

Although the casino here is smaller than some of its Laughlin neighbors, this resort has a more upscale feel and a convenient layout that's easy to navigate. It is home to three chain restaurants, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Claim Jumper, and the popular Saltgrass steak house. The Rush Lounge nightclub is a perennially popular hot spot. The atrium echoes the Mirage on the Las Vegas Strip with two cascading waterfalls surrounded by tropical plants from around the world.

The classiest joint in Laughlin comes with a private sand beach and two casinos, one of which is smoke free. It boasts the 3,000-seat Rio Vista Outdoor Amphitheater, which has hosted the likes of Bonnie Raitt and Jeff Dunham. The hotel has an adults-only pool and room towers, a World Series of Poker–theme poker room, and a Mexican restaurant from celebrity chef Guy Fieri.

At the end of Route 157 at 7,717 feet above sea level, you find this lodge on the perch of Kyle Canyon. The two dozen cabins are all separate structures with outside entries and varying layouts, including a \"lovebirds\" cabin with private mountain views, and a 750-square-foot events cabin for small meetings and/or family retreats. All of them have an outside patio deck, satellite TV with a DVD player and a large selection of DVDs in the main office, gas fireplace, jetted bathtub, mini-refrigerator, and microwave. In September 2021, the lodge's restaurant burned down in a fire and has yet to be rebuilt. 

This three-story resort is the first stop along Kyle Canyon Road (about 17 miles up). It has the feel of a lodge, including a four-sided stone fireplace to gather around in the spacious lobby, which is appointed with vintage pinball games. The Canyon Restaurant provides large-window views of the surrounding mountainscape. There is a cocktail lounge with a rotating selection of regional beers on tap and a pool table, and a 24-hour convenience store/snackbar where you can pick up a map pinpointing the area's hiking trails. The hotel has 61 rooms with flat-screen TVs, and some have wall heaters that look like wood-burning fireplaces. Outdoor seating around the property provides a great way to take in the majestic scenery.
