  • Day One

    Begin with early morning coffee at Railroad Pass Casino on Hwy 93, an old-timer among gambling dens. Afterward, continue on Hwy 93 to the historic Boulder City and the amazing Hoover Dam Tour .

    Go back along Hwy 93 to the junction with Hwy 95 and turn south toward Laughlin. Stop at the Nugget in Searchlight (see Nugget Restaurant, Searchlight) for lunch and the chance to visit a typical small-town Nevada casino.

    For a more picturesque route, turn off 95 and head east on the dirt road through Christmas Tree Pass. Spend the remainder of the day in Laughlin, perhaps hunting for bargains at the 50-store Horizon Discount Outlet.

    Overnight at Harrah’s (see Fresh Market Square, Harrah’s, Laughlin) or another hotel along the river, and be sure to take an evening stroll along the promenade.

    Day Two

    Early next morning, golfers can tee off at the 18-hole Emerald River Golf Course. Alternatively, the Riverview Golf Course is just across the river in Bullhead City, Arizona.

    Later, head for Oatman, an old-time western town about a half-hour’s drive southeast from Bullhead City. In the afternoon drive back north to Lake Mojave. Be sure to make time to see the mysterious petroglyphs at Grapevine Canyon, off Hwy 163, before returning to your hotel in Laughlin.
