Don Laughlin's Riverside Resort was established in 1966 and was Laughlin's first casino.

The Riverside offers over 1400 rooms and a six-screen movie theater.

During the Summer of 2010, the Riverside appeared to have a new lighting scheme for both the north and south towers.  Now they are blue ....

... and now they are red (and different hues in-between as the colors change slowly).  Photos taken August 12, 2010.

Designed to look like a six-deck paddlewheeler, the Colorado Belle has 1,168 rooms and six restaurants.   

The sister property of the Colorado Belle is the Edgewater;  the hotel is 26 stories tall and offers 1450 rooms. 

The valet area of the Aquairus--formerly the Flamingo Laughlin.  

The pink windows from the days when the property was the Flamingo Laughlin are a dead-giveaway.  The hotel has 1,907 rooms spread over two 18-story towers.  The hotel opened August 1, 1990.  To the far left is the Edgewater.

The Tropicana Express is the only casino on the Laughlin "Strip" not on the river.  The hotel has 1,498 rooms and opened in 1988 as the Ramada Express.  In July, 2009, the casino was lit with green light at night. 

In December, 2007, the Tropicana was lit with white light.  The "express" part of the name signifies the railroad theme of the casino. 

The 25-story River Palms Resort Casino has 1000 hotel rooms and is second-to last on the Riverwalk with Harrah's Laughlin being the end.  The resort opened in 1984 as Sam's Town Gold River. 

The River Palms during the Summer of 2010 also displayed a new color scheme.  Photo taken August 12, 2010. 

Perched on a hill and overlooking the Colorado River and the rest of the casinos, Harrah's Laughlin has its own little kingdom complete with a gas station and mini-mart, and a beach.

A mile upriver from Laughlin is the Davis Dam.  The Davis Dam is 45 miles downstream from Hoover Dam and was originally called Bullhead Dam.   The dam is 200 feet high and 1600 feet in length.
