Comments about this Laughlin visit:
****
Another note. This midwest first time Laughlin visitor remarked about the
Avi being in the middle of nowhere. I just laughed my ass off.
The Avi is indeed on the Rez and on the Colorado River. It is 15 miles by
car from the Harrahs-L, front to front door. It is also 15 miles closer to
Interstate-40 and all of southern California compared to Laughlin.
The Avi also built their own bridge across the Colorado River. Don
Laughlin's bridge is 12 miles upstream, north of his Riverside casino. Guess where all
the Laughlin casino workers live? It isn't in Laughlin. This bridge
basically divides Bullhead City and Mohave Valley in Arizona, where 90% of the
workers do live. Guess what casino is the local workers hangout?
The Avi just keeps expanding from their humble beginnings. Last spring they
opened their new convention facility, the new casino addition, and the new
sports book. Also, what was most impressive in this expansion is the Avi now
boasts the best pool/beach complex by far on the river. Before that they built
the parking garage. Before that the food court/Kid's Quest/Brenden Theatre
complex (as in the sister Vegas Palms). They do as good of live entertainment as
any of the Laughlin mainstream casinos.
