    Harrahs from the Colorado.
    Norm K.

    I have been to Laughlin several times. I have stayed 3 times and the other times have been to pass through or tom do some touristy thing. This is a much less expensive gaming town than Las Vegas. It's also a good place to get away for a few nights. A bit of gaming will generally get you an offer for a free night or three depending on the place. The town got its current start when Don Laughlin bought the land and built a hotel and casino. From then, it has grown. With Arizona across the Colorado River, a way was needed to get gamblers to and from there without driving to Needles, California and up to Laughlin. In the 1980s, Don Laughlin paid for the bridge that connects Bullhead City, Arizona with Laughlin and donated the bridge to both states. Until then, many gamblers took the river taxi or the Riverside's shuttle to get from large parking areas in Arizona to the casinos across the river. Those still exist today and many people choose to park in Arizona and water taxi to the casino. The draw besides gaming is the river and the water sports that it offers. There are many boat rental outlets, jet skis rental places also abound, and you can take a boat tour of the Laughlin area or a jet boat to Lake Havasu City. There is a good hiking spot near Laughlin--Grapevine Canyon--that has stunning petroglyphs. There's also a spot where you can walk mazes and clear your mind--perhaps. Davis Dam is now reopened for walking/biking across and that makes for a good hike/diversion. This is a good place to visit and I plan to do so a few times a year.

    Great get away from anywhere only an hour from LV with low cost hotel rooms and expensive food but you can cross the bridge to Bullhead city and everything you need is there plus cheaper. Great view from all the casinos and a river walk from one end of town to the other. You can also take boat rides to the Dam

    I only rate this city as a four star considering it lacks a lot of amenities that big cities like Las Vegas/Henderson Nevada (my hometowns) have but it makes up with a lot of water activities and it near Bullhead City AZ.

    yaaaas!

    We stop by Friday night but we were on Nevada time and arrived what we thought was 8:15 but it was…read morereally 9:15 and they were closed on the. we decided to come back Saturday night, and we're glad we did. my wife and I weren't very hungry so he decided to split a dish. We had the chicken marsala over angel hair and a house salad. The chicken marsala was cooked just right with the mushrooms and marsala sauce coating the pasta just right. The NFL playoffs were going on so we sat in the bar and watched the game, but we could hear Frank Sinatra gently singing a Summers Rain in the main dining area. Christie our waitress was very attentive and helped us pick out our dish. We finished with a tiramisu and double espresso. did I mention the portions are very large an overall great dining experience and the next time we're in town will be paying them a visit.

    i guess you can't trust some restaurants to stand behind their posted hours. Both on Yelp and on…read morethe restaurant's front doors 9:00 p.m. is listed as Meoni's closing time. Plus, on more than one occasion Diane and I had previously arrived here around 8:30 p.m. and were warmly greeted, seated, and enjoyed our ordered meals. But this Sunday night two days after Halloween, after we had crossed the Colorado River on the Don Laughlin Bridge and had driven for half an hour from our home in Laughlin, we arrived at 8:25 p.m. only to find the restaurant dark and locked, with nobody inside. Granted this was the first day of a time change in California and Nevada from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time. But this circumstance should have had no effect on Arizona, whose time zone remained the same as the day before. Disappointed, we went in search of another place to eat dinner, and after encountering the kitchen staff of China Panda in the restaurant's parking lot about to leave for home half an hour earlier than its posted closing hour, finally wound up at reliable Black Bear Diner. We were the only patrons seated in the entire capacious restaurant until a few other people walked inside about 15 minutes later This spooky night felt like Halloween, but the tricks and added hunger we experienced occurred just a bit later.

The first problem, the waitress was not very attentive, when she took our order, she forgot to bring our drinks, so we had to remind her when she brought our food. The second problem, the food was terrible. Mother ordered lasagna, I got the Alfredo. Her lasagna tasted terrible, like someone had mixed barbecue sauce into the marinara. My Alfredo's sauce was way too oily, due most likely due to having too much butter. Third problem, drinks. The water tasted like it came from the tap, mother's water did not have any ice, and her Raspberry Tea was warm. Fourth problem, the cook was more focused on the ball game than actually cooking food. Fifth problem, the menus are not up to date, mother wanted Diet Dr Pepper as it said in the menu but the waitress said they didn't have that anymore.

    Mattina's was a pleasant surprise and overall a very enjoyable dining experience…read more The atmosphere was nice and about what you'd expect for the area. Nothing overly fancy, but comfortable and inviting. The bread was fine--good enough, though not something I'd make a special trip for. They didn't have the wine I originally wanted, but their staff quickly recommended a comparable alternative. Their wine selection is actually quite respectable. Our server was outstanding. Attentive without being intrusive, friendly, and genuinely interested in making sure we had a good experience. My one notable complaint has nothing to do with the food. We were seated near the kitchen, which normally wouldn't bother me at all. However, one of the hostesses wore a very strong perfume. Every few minutes the scent would drift by and completely overpower the aromas from the meal. It wasn't an unpleasant fragrance, but when dining, the aroma of the food is part of the experience, and it became distracting. We started with the Caprese salad, which was excellent and properly prepared. The mozzarella was so good I actually asked if it was house-made. It wasn't, but it certainly tasted like it could have been. My wife and I split the chicken piccata. The chicken itself was perfectly cooked, and the seasonal asparagus was fantastic. If I'm being exceptionally critical, the piccata sauce was slightly thicker than I prefer and leaned a bit too heavily on the lemon. The extra acidity overshadowed the capers somewhat. Likewise, I was a little disappointed to learn the pasta was not house-made and arrived slightly past al dente. These are admittedly minor critiques and the sort of details most diners probably wouldn't notice or care about. Dessert sealed the deal. The homemade key lime pie was outstanding. The filling had a fantastic balance of tartness and sweetness with a smooth, creamy texture that was clearly made in-house. I even verified that with our server. It was a home run and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The fact that I'm discussing details like sauce balance and pasta texture should tell you that the overall meal was very good. The strengths far outweighed the shortcomings. Excellent service, several standout dishes, and a dining experience I'd happily recommend. We'll definitely return the next time we're in Kingman.
