Hi - My husband and I took this trip last April and it
was wonderful - never had to touch our luggage - they
did everything for us. When we arrived at the airport
(across the river), the bus was waiting for us and we
were greeted at the hotel with a drink (altho somewhat
watery) and our packet of room keys and info - they
transported our luggage to our room so we could go
immediately to the casino and play. We charged our
food to our room and in the end, depending on how much
you play, these charges were removed and we only had
to pay the tip. We rented a car and drove to LV -
there is only one place to get one and that is at the
airport but they will pick you up at the hotel and
transport you there. We reserved a car at Noon and
returned it the next day at Noon. It is an hour and a
half drive - with only one stop along the way for
potty and a drink. We had a reserved room downtown at
Fremont comped so just parked the car in the garage
across the street and spent the day/night downtown -
we didn't attempt to go to the Strip - altho you have
that option with a car. Harrah's in Laughlin is a
very, very nice and probably the best casino in
Laughlin but at the far end of the "Strip" and up a
hill so it's pretty hard to walk it. You could take
the river shuttle (which we did once) but the cost is
$5 pp so getting a taxi is a bit cheaper and quicker.
We ate most of our meals at Harrah's - had lunch at
the River Belle but this was for convenience more than
anything else. Our trip was from Tues night - about
10:00 PM to Fri morning - about 7:00 AM. so taking a
day off was quite nice and I would recommend it - nice
to drive in the desert and see mountains, etc. but not
much else. This was our first trip to Laughlin and
enjoyed it very much - not as busy and hectic as Vegas
but still fun with about 7 casinos to choice from and
lots of different machines. After that trip, I have
been offered many other trips including the one I'm
going to take the end of Feb to New Orleans - another
Harrah's comped trip for me and a guest (this time a
girlfriend) and I'm looking forward to it. Hope I've
answered some of your questions, feel free to contact
me if you have any others. B
