I've lived in Bullhead for 43 years. This is one of the finest videos I've watched, for a very long time, showing Bullhead, Laughlin, and the Colorado river! You do the area justice with your video. The river shots were terrific as well. Keep up the fine work.

[@SeraphinaRovas]

I AM DESPERATE TO LEAVE LAS VEGAS WHERE I LIVE NOW. MY HOME IS NOT SAFE, MY SITUATION IS DIRE, ITS ABUSIVE AND MY FINANCES ARE BEING HELD CAPTIVE.

We went every year with my husband since 2006. Sadly He passed away this year and this video reminded me of all the times we were there. My memories are all I've got now. Thank You for sharing.

[@kcsonshine928]

My husband and I went every Spring & fall for years and stayed in our RV with family & friends but sadly my husband also passed away in 2017 I'm so glad I came across this site because I feel confident enough to drive down there I have a small car now and wasn't sure if I'd be able to drive it on that rough road. But watching this great video I can see the road will be ok to drive my car down to the lake

[@bb1040]

I lived in Las Vegas for 40 years, worked in construction for 23 1/2 years, and remember this area before the construction started. We worked on the first casino construction, at 124 degrees, and everybody was working with bug nets over their heads because the bugs were so thick along the river, the spraying took care of most of them. LOL.

Hey Hey It's RVerTV Russ, Thanks once again my friend for the Day.👍

[@NomadMoto]

I worked there for 2 years 2000-2002, my dad worked there for 28, he died in 2017. Love that place, so many memories. I’m actually coming back down in my skoolie here soon. I didn’t know they allowed 14 days stay, I’m excited to go. I’m hoping to leave Washington before winter so around October. My kid drove that same boat in 2002 when he was 2. I drove in when I was 15 years old, That boat is old! Lol

[@mattmcdermott4766]

My wife and Mother in law worked there. They lived in Kingman and drove through Golden Valley. Back when it was two lanes and washes. My Father in law was a sparky and did the signs in Laughlin. Great video. God Bless you all!!!

[@richardpalmanteer9798]

Yep I have memories of Bullhead City and Laughlin at the Riverside the smaller building is the orginal casino before they build the bigger one. My wife worked at the Riverside as a change person back when they had coins. We stay in our 17ft travel trailer in the late 90's to work at the casinos. We jumped to parking lot to parking lot didn't have a lot of money back then. Always went inside when it got up to 110 to 120 in the parking lot. Enjoyed the river to cool off too. Well Russ take care and catch you later. I know I'm a little behind, saw this video and thought I'd check it out. (Wave) Oh, yea I met old Don back then and he was very personable and friendly my wife knew him too from working there. Back in the day Don owned a small gas station in Laughlin and it went from there to now.

[@pals_popcorn116]

yep, went to swantys with my dodge deisel..my mom lives in Laughlin... Haven't been there since 07..I kinda Miss it..☺️ Beautiful

[@jeffreykeffer4352]

I lived in Bullhead city and Laughlin Nevada as a kid back in the late 80's goat Island at one time had lots of Peacocks and if I'm not mistaken it was owned ( probably still is ) by Don Laughlin ... Of course back then almost all the Casinos had the water taxis ( they used to be free) my Grandparents and I would go over to the Colorado bell and have dinner and I would go to the Nickle video game arcade they had on the second floor or go eat Sunday breakfast brunch buffet at the Edgewater and then bowl a little in the bowling alley they used to have ( not sure if they still have it ) .. Great video really brought back some old memories.

[@seymourrivers6169]

I enjoyed this episode of First Class Boondocking in Laughlin Nevada.

[@JohnsonWhat28]

I have always loved the Colorado River, clear, cold and blue. Great trout fishing at Lee's Ferry!! Great video, Russ!

[@stormyweather8798]

I mix it up with the Rio Grande. Does it turn into it in MX.?

[@inspireaspire278]

My comment would be, Where eagles dare, A journey very well taken, 🎉

[@heatherfisher9959]

I grew up here and worked here. My sister got married on that boat. I worked in the car museum. It did not have all these stores. We had to go to Vegas for many things they did not have there. Like a good formal dress or hospitals. It was a different Laughlin too.

[@Mo-so7fe]

Russ, your videos are amazing, especially this one. The view of the river and the clear water is comfort to the soul.

[@kimgarcia6811]

Miss Laughlin and of course In and Out Burger!

[@bryanseverino3674]

Visited Laughlin a couple times. I remember it being so hot, all you wanted to do was find shade. You picked the perfect time of year to visit.

[@stephenbrown3763]

Hey Russ!!! "HOME" is where you "STOP" !!!

[@CatPianoClassics]

Growing up here in the mid to late 90s and coming back here every so often brings a smile to my face because Bullhead really has grown so much since then and yet in some ways it really hasnt changed. Also i went on the USS Davis last year for my uncles wedding. It was an open bar and the ceremony was lovely!

[@carolharris2357]

Everyone runs the red lights though.

[@lindahernandez1525]

Hi thank you for sharing love The Riverside Casino thank you for taking us on a boat ride that was awesome 😎👍🏼

[@GratefulOverlander]

The river alone makes Laughlin so much better then Vegas to me

[@peterwaroblak166]

Once upon a time you had to cross the river at the dam so those water taxi's were the quick way to get to the casinos. Russ keep us informed on the fuel prices and temperature

[@jeffsten1]

Glad your still here. Enjoy your videos. I have a serious problem with my Diesel engine. I pulled into a truck stop to fuel up filled my truck up at a diesel pump. 38 miles later I lost my turbo charger engine lost all power. I managed to get my camper to a campground. Turned the truck off that’s it! Had it towed to a dealership injectors, fuel pumps fuel lines and possibly the turbo charger. It was gasoline in the diesel. My insurance company investigated the situation. And approved all repairs. Thank goodness for that $14,000 bill

[@saythankyou111]

That’s awful..mix up with the pumps or what….🇺🇸👀

[@jeffsten1]

@@saythankyou111 my insurance company is taking care of the truck. Turned out it was the fuel distributor that put the gas in the diesel fuel tank.

[@granneeannees2s467]

I so love that wonderful song God has provided, also that you for bringing the opportunity to hear them again in your videos. Love the view, but didn't catch where that was??

[@DrCarlo]

I have watched your vids for a long time, and what keeps me watching is the fact that every vid reminds me of the 11 years that I spent traveling the exact same roads and towns. Great vids...and Memories...

[@dathip]

ikr? I had memories spent in las vegas. I was born in los angeles, but I las vegas, lauglin, etc/nevada in general was my second home. So I get somewhat homesick. Everyone in my family in both states moved on so I dont have much people to spend time with in either states unless its on vacation.

[@maxkelter3561]

Great shots. Super deal boondocking Always fun to go down to the River.

[@stevekim3217]

I visited Laughlin in 1972 and there was only ONE Casino with a dirt parking lot. Who would have known it would change this much in 50 years.

[@lindamartin2045]

Marvelous!👍👍🤗. Boat ride definitely worth $15. Beautiful day alright. Pigeons look healthy. Don't know why but I miss palm trees.🤣. Thank you. Take care.

[@ricfly52]

Wife and I stayed at Davis camp around 20 times. Always in the late fall and winter. Caught a few stripers right there by the dry camp and at the dam.

[@dougwheeler1265]

Love your videos Russ. This ones a good one. Thanks!

[@cgdrider]

We've been to the Laughlin Bike Rally years ago and it was a Blast! Love the River! We've had a lot of fun when we had our ski boat at Laughlin even though we used our $400 Stainless Steel Prop for a "Rock Margarita" in the shallow part of the river at Laughlin!

[@stephrusty3055]

Had some great fun on my trip there .water taxi s that motor museum was something else .we stay at riverside motel.on arizona side oposite casinos .looking at your trip .looks like it's no longer there. nothing lasts forever . But your trips Russ bring it all back Thank you 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I love the Celebration Cruise during the day. It's inexpensive, air conditioned, bar and great prime rib sliders! Thanks for taking this cruise to the dam..I haven't done that. The Celebration Cruise has the information loop also. I've heard it 10 X but never tire of it.

Man that brings back memories. In the early/mid 90's I used to drive to Laughlin from Phoenix after working all day Friday. Get off at 5pm, drive to Laughlin, play texas hold em all night then drive to Prescott where my parents lived. To be in my 20's again LOL.

[@BrendaHaltom-cs6ck]

I took the boat ride again and the River wwas beautiful! Thank you Russ again! Thanks again! Long May the Mighty Colorado roll!🐕‍🦺😀🇺🇸🌵

[@frankfitz3421]

Ok this is gonna tell my age but here we go... ive been going to bullhead since the 70s. There was no bridge to cross the river, you had to cross on the dam. There was only 3 casino's I believe and they were small. The food was dirt cheap, anyway water taxi's? Heck Don Laughlin used to fly people across the river in helicopters for free! My mom was good friends with Betty Laughlin they went tubing on the water and the casino employees would pick them down river.I worked @ the Golden Nugget, i now live in kingman. 😀

[@annsayger5842]

Nice break on the boat. Relaxing and a cool breeze. A little break in scenery. Safe travels Russ. 🌅

[@stanw909]

I remembered going to the Nevada side when I was a kid around 1970(?) to fish and camp. It was just willows and water . There was a big house turned into a casino. It might have been Laughlin's original casino. My parents have passed on so there's no one to ask.

[@Bustavegas]

Awesome Video.. I live in Fort Mohave right down the road. Moved here in 2012 for my job from Fresno, CA.. I love this area... People are friendly and perfect community for my kids to grow up in.. Hope you enjoy it.

[@Tony-um2el]

According to what I found on "Goat Island" it doesn't have a name and is owned by the Riverside Casino. The island used to home to a large flock of Peacocks. But coyotes and other animals got them. According to the Mohave Daily News

[@WEHenry]

I would say that was a pretty good investment for the Loughlin family 🤣, great job Mr. Russ on the tour boat looked like it was a pleasant trip 👍🤠🌴🇺🇸

The Riverside Security Guards take care of the goats I do believe. They feed and watch after them. The goats are there to keep down the foliage.

[@susanstrickland6774]

[@terrysnyder6376]

Hi, Russ! I enjoyed your BHC and Laughlin video. I live here in Bullhead, thank you for promoting our town and the great amenities. So you know, the Riverside Hotel offers the free water taxi, it crosses the river as you showed, and it docks with the other one for $5. The goat island used to have Peacocks years ago but when the water level dropped the coyotes took them out, sad to say. The dam was built in 1948 I believe, being an earthen dam makes some nervous at times, lol. Thanks again!

[@markshietze4783]

I was there decades ago when the owner lady allowed weddings on the island .... It was pretty much serene and lush and pretty then ... Barry and Linda got married there , right ?

I used to go to Laughlin in the mid 1980s when they had two casinos (Edgewater and Riverside), and a little shack with two gas pumps. That's all there was. Look at it now.

[@alanamarias2950]

Its changed alot from when we lived there in the 70s

[@stevej7139]

The water Taxis used to be free but now you don't need them as much as the old days . Funny when you went under the bridge you were concerned about 24 inches of clearance but as a Machinist we had a saying regarding clearance "a tenth's as good as a mile" and in machinist talk a "tenth" is equal to .0001 inches or one ten thousandth of an inch . In machining we cut things pretty close a lot of the time because shorter is better when cutting metal .

[@peterkunka2694]

Nice tour of Laughlin. Used to spend a lot of time at the Colorado Belle. Now, we prefer the Golden Nugget and it's three restaurants inside... Claim Jumper for breakfast, Bubba Gump's outside deck on the river for lunch, and the Saltgrass Steakhouse for dinner. Day pass Water Taxi is nice, so you can run up/down the river whenever you want. Good winter destination anytime... we tried it in summer and it was too hot to do anything. Peace! Pete - KI7LIL
