If the outdoors is calling your name, lace up your walking shoes and explore the best of the city on foot at the Laughlin Riverwalk. Extending from Don Laughlin’s Riverside Resort to the Laughlin River Lodge, visitors can take a relaxing walk along the river's edge and see the many sites from the shores of the Colorado River. Beautifully maintained and offering stunning views of the city and the river, the paved walking path lies adjacent to the Hotel Corridor along Casino Drive and is a great way to get from one casino to the other while soaking up sights like local fish and waterfowl to the boats sailing by. An evening strolling along the Riverwalk lends itself to discovering what the city has to offer on any given night as well, such as the exciting live bands that play on various sections of the walkway. And depending when you visit, a food and/or music festival may be taking place. Rest assured, there’s always something exciting to do or find on the Laughlin Riverwalk.

Laughlin is an unincorporated town and census-designated place in Clark County, Nevada, United States. It is located on the Colorado River, directly across from the much larger Bullhead City, Arizona. Laughlin lies 90 miles south of Las Vegas, in the far southern tip of Nevada, and is known for its gaming and water recreation. As of the 2010 census, the population was 7,323. The nearby communities of Bullhead City, Arizona; Needles, California; Fort Mohave, Arizona; and Mohave Valley, Arizona, bring the area's total population to about 100,000. Laughlin is also 286 miles northeast of Los Angeles.

Laughlin was named for Don Laughlin, an Owatonna, Minnesota native who purchased the southern tip of Nevada in 1964 (informally called South Pointe). At the time, Don Laughlin operated the 101 Club in Las Vegas. He opened what would become the Riverside Resort, and later wanted to call the community Riverside or Casino, but the post office opted for Laughlin instead.
