Archie,
The drive to Laughlin is about 90 miutes. They now have a bridge from the AZ side to the NV side, courtesy of Mr. Laughlin. He is quite a character and deserves a place in gambling history. He has an outstanding antique car museum at the Riverside. The worlds largest watch store is also located there. Laughlin is very, very affordable. Rooms from $8-$17 during the week and about $30-$40 on Friday/Saturday. Depending on the age of the children there are water activities and each casino (I think) has an arcade. One of our favorite places to gamble and we don't own an RV.<G>
