Looks like one of the former presidents at the game....a little bit.

A hint: he always said, "I feel your pain"

Laughlin Casino Ratings...

So after touring most of the casinos outside of Harrah's. Which is another story, here are the results...with an omit to Harrah's.

Top Gambling Slot/Table Action:

1. Golden Nugget
2. Aquarius
3. EdgeWater


Top Food Choices:

1. Golden Nugget
2. Tropicana
3. Colorado Belle

Best Casino Look/Mood

1. Colorado Belle
2. Aquarius
3. EdgeWater

Hardest Casino to walk to:

1. Harrah's

Harrah's is almost impossible to walk to from the rest of the "strip". We attempted and failed after 40 minutes of pursuit. There is a sidewalk that aligns along the river, sadly it does not connect to Harrah's. Why? Unknown, it didn't make a ton of sense to us either.

I wonder if Harrah's feels they are more of an "island" destination, where they want their customers at the hotel to stay at their casino. It may make sense, but it limits the foot traffic from the other casinos along the river.

Desert Photos #3

This is a panoramic photo I took at the Tropicana looking East towards the Colorado Belle.


Desert Photos #2








The first photo is some non-active volcano on Route 66, there was magma all over the desert around that area. I guess it hasn't been active in 500 years, which in terms of a volcano, is not that long ago.
