The town of Laughlin in Nevada may not be the first place you think of when you think of a vacation in Nevada, but most people will tell you that Las Vegas is not really much like Nevada… Or much like the rest of the world, for that matter. And Laughlin is a vacation hotspot for those interested in playing on the river and enjoying the great outdoors – two things Vegas is not exactly known for. But lying just 90 miles from Vegas, Laughlin boasts some of the same kinds of things that attract visitors, including some cheap hotels in Laughlin so you can save your money for other things.
This resort destination has its share of luxury accommodation options, but unlike Vegas it is not about always doing it bigger and more over-the-top. What this means is that the choices for cheap hotels in Laughlin are a bit more plentiful without being too far off the beaten path. Many of the hotels have casinos in them, and that kind of thing can either raise or lower the price of the rooms – if they think you will be gambling, they may give you a hotel deal. So check out both hotels with casinos and hotels without casinos.
Laughlin’s proximity to Las Vegas helps this relatively small town pull in some of the top entertainment acts and shows – not to mention development money from the hospitatlity industry – but there are non-Vegas attractions as well. The river, of course, is a big draw for boating fun, and the nearby desert is another source of outdoor activities. Golf is also big in Laughlin, and of course the city’s casinos are always ready and willing to take your money.
