We're off to Laughlin for a week and got a pleasant surprise when we went up #177 past Desert Center, new pavement although the road is still like a roller coaster, up and down as far as the eye can see. This town was started by Don Laughlin when he bought an old boarded up motel and 6 acres on the beautiful Colorado River and opened the Riverside Resort in 1966. Today his Casino employs over 2000 people with an annual payroll of over $50,000,000 and the town is a strip of Casinos all along the river where you can ride little 'riverboats' that take you from one end to the other. We view the casinos from our campground.
