First Class Boondocking - Laughlin Nevada

[@daybird2]

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]

[@JohnsonWhat28]

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

[@MeTreesndirt]

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

[@lloydbaker6988]

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

[@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.

[@zuric431]

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.

[@meshathomas9445]

Welcome to our little treasure in the middle of nowhere.....lol...We love it out here....Moved from California 4 years ago to Bullhead City, Az...

[@barbhagens1167]

I see today (Wednesday) is Don Laughlin’s birthday! Nice boat ride!

[@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!!!

[@seymourrivers6169]

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

[@FireFighter1512]

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.

[@marcelolney4213]

I first saw Laughlin in 65 .going through on a bus from the Bullhead side ..oh The lights ! At nite. I was 18 green behind the ears..oh was I impressed .now I boondock weekends there ..I'm high mileage lol

[@alliedsandblasting9211]

I’m heading to Laughlin tonight, I always stay at The Riverside to check out the raccoons at night down by the river

[@Iamrosey21111]

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.

[@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 😎👍🏼

[@Mo-so7fe]

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

[@Merry_grinch_mas]

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.

[@maxkelter3561]

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

[@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.

[@robertjean659]

Cool area around Laughlin, been thru there a few times over the years. River cruise is a great way to see around the area. Good tour around today Russ. 🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@dougwheeler1265]

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

[@lewisboyd1480]

Thanks for the sightseeing trip. Love this beautiful area.

[@annsayger5842]

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

[@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.

[@Tiger-hc6ek]

Great video Russ, and a place I have been to many times. If you get hungry In and Out is close to you on the right hand side of the street. This is a place I always stop at

[@rvertv]

Cool, thanks

[@suzy9342]

Ann . Again, Thank you for taking us on such a fun boat tour as well as a great drive😇🙏🏼🌵🏜️👍🏼🚐

[@drewmclean3502]

That was cool,never seen the Colorado river that clear.A must see for sure thanks enjoyed the mini cruise 🚢

[@daveivey895]

I've lived in Bullhead City for quite a while and still haven't taken the river boat tour yet.....Thanks for the Awesome video!.

[@kimgarcia6811]

Miss Laughlin and of course In and Out Burger!

[@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.

[@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.

[@bobdevore24]

Thanks for pointing out several shore fishing locations for our trip next week

[@Go4Corvette]

Great video, Russ, thanks for the tour. Have fun, Mike

Great content..Have been to Vegas many times always wanted to go to Laughlin, Now I will for sure...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!

[@lyndacompton1846]

Perfect video and thank you for the boat ride

You bet!

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.

[@inspireaspire278]

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

[@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 ?

[@stephenbrown3763]

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

[@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.

[@larryjohnson6398]

Look like a lot of fun to me enjoy be safe Russ

[@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 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Nice boat, beautiful water!

[@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 👍🤠🌴🇺🇸

[@patbeutler354]

I am enjoying living vicariously through great videos. Keep up the good work Russ.🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗💐

[@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

[@CDubsJourney]

That was a fun ride! Thanks for taking us along 😊! ✌️💛

[@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??

[@susanstrickland6774]

Really enjoyed. That's a pretty area with lots of Kodiak moments. Great for boondocking, and camping along the beautiful river. Those fishermen have a nice view. Perfect boat ride. Hopefully the goats are fed. Ty for taking us along, and sharing. 🙂👍

Took that water taxi all my life! My grandfather had a place there since the 70s. So when visiting before we moved there, the water taxi was a high light! Man I loved that as a kid and was handy when I was a teenager.

[@perseo007]

Thanks for the video, and the quality of them. Is like travelling every place in real life. I love Laughling, good memories working on there!

Just the place to be on a hot day!

[@MrJPort10]

2:16 closes at 11pm, for camping youd go a few miles further to Davis Camp. really nice up there.. that's one of my spots, as well as where you are now... st 2:36 you can walk out to waist deep and be able to cast pretty far out where it drops off. we catch striper there, on top of drinking beer, smoking joints and hanging out lol.. nice to see my place from someone else's perspective.

[@markal6004]

I love Laughlin, was just there in November. Can't wait to go back.

[@GratefulOverlander]

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

[@johnlenart597]

Another fun adventure and still not a cross country trek. Need more info on "Goat Island". My boating adventure will be on my 12 ' kayak this summer. Very fuel efficient. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋‍♂️

[@andoushpirnazari412]

Thank you ❤❤

[@designsalive]

I took that same cruise last year and really enjoyed it and hope to take it again next time I’m in the area. They give so much history of the area you can’t absorb it all in one ride. I was there in October and there was only about 10 people on the cruise.

Must have been just as relaxing when Sonny & Cher hit the tv waves!

I lived in bullhead in my twenties it was a blast.i dont live there now but i miss it so much.i lived on river front drive.. floating the river was the best.

The upstairs car show is really good, and if I remember right, the no smoking casino is on the same level.

[@10207ret]

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.

[@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

[@skyebird3933]

What a nice little river cruise and nice it wasn't crowded. 😁

[@Oheeeoh]

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.

[@kturnington]

Russ, did you see where the low water levels at Lake Mead revealed a barrel stuck in the mud with a human body in it, could be 40 years there. Officials said there would probably find more as the water drops.
