Laughlin, Nevada is a small casino town that is located across the Colorado River from the state of Arizona. Laughlin is popular with tourists as a low-cost alternative to Las Vegas that features outdoor recreation in addition to gambling. The Colorado River connects Laughlin to Lake Havasu City, Arizona—about two hours downstream. The best way to see the landscape, artifacts and wildlife along the banks of the Colorado River, while also visiting the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City, is to take a jet boat tour. Book your jet boat tour at one of the casinos in Laughlin or by making reservations online.

Temperatures in Laughlin can soar to well over 100 degrees during the summer. Due to the movement of the boat, temperatures on the water can be significantly lower than temperatures on shore. While jet boats feature awnings and windshields, you should bring a windbreaker and sunscreen. Remember to bring your wallet for food and drinks during your break at London Bridge.
