Laughlin, NV


Hot only got hotter as we made the 310 mile trip from Zion to Bullhead City, Arizona. We took the scenic backroad through the desert that ran alongside Lake Mead part of the way. The water is so low in Lake Mead that many of the marinas in the Lake Mead Recreational Area are closed. We drove across Hoover Dam and back but opted to not park and walk in the 104 degree temperatures to the visitor's center. More photos.

When we arrived at Bullhead City it took no time to check into the Riverview Campground and head over the Colorado River to Laughlin, Nevada to get in the a/c and out of the 110 degree weather. We visited several of the casinos but were surprised to find that shuttles do not run between casinos. We enjoyed a fine buffet at Harrah's and then saw a pretty good Elvis impersonator, Don Rose at the Riverview. After the show it was cool enough to enjoy walking alongside the Colorado River before calling it a day. More photos.
