Laughlin or Bust

It was obvious. Our Quartzsite 2008 trip was a bust. From the generator issue that took us away from town for a week, to the biting cold winds and rain. There was only one thing left to do.

Fly (or, in this case, drive) our Little Snowbird arses to new location.

We left Quartzsite in the dust as we headed north to the small gambling town of Laughlin, Nevada.



We’ve been to Laughlin countless times, and have always loved to visit. Laughlin has always treated RVers well. You can boondock in many of the casino parking lots and the buffets are reasonably priced.

The Tropicana Express hotel had $19.95 per night rates, and we jumped on it.



We stayed for five nights, subsisting mainly on 2 for 1 buffet coupons at many of the casinos.

While there we witnessed the shortest Mardi Gras parade ever.



Stood in multiple, long buffet lines



And, of course, gambled!



The time went by too quickly though, and before we knew it, we had to head back to Oregon.
