TR snippet - Laughlin hotels

LAUGHLIN TROPICANA EXPRESS

We caught these nights on i4laughlin for just $11 each. The rooms were very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. The pool was very nice. Two small Jacuzis. It did not open until ten in the morning, however so I missed swimming and played poker. Very fine desk in the room for my computer also. Clean and new looking. Comfortable beds and accessible electric plugs.

LAUGHLIN EDGEWATER

With the help of our new host Janelle, recommended by Linda Boyd, author of a great little VP book called, The Video Poker Edge my buddy Wild Bill and I had river view adjoining rooms and that was such a treat. It was easy to wander in and out whenever Bill and I were in the room, and easy to leave a note under the door. These rooms are basic, but fine. I had a slow running sink and the fellow was up in minutes and cleaned it out for me.
I liked the large pool and the generous hours. The water was still too cold for me so I only went once. It was open longer than the Tropicana pool.
We had a river view and were entertained at times with boats and water skis.

It was delightful to stay for four nights in a row one place. That would seduce me into using the host for future offers. Also it was nice to have food comped for a change even though it was not much that we charged to the room.

I liked it that play in both of the sister casinos counted toward our stay, unlike play in say Main Street Station and California. And I liked the central location to Laughlin. The buffet food was not so hot, but the Boiler Room food was fine and the microbrews a treat a well.

GOLF

WildBill also spent a day golfing while I did laundry. He went to the Laughlin Ranch course in Bullhead City and on the way there I located a nice laundromat that took a credit card instead of change and had an attendant to helped me with how to use the machines.
