One Hundred Degrees in Laughlin At 7:00 PM (Page Eight)
It's 102 degrees in Laughlin and will cool down to 94 over night... Thursday is expected to be 113!
Laughlin is a census-designated place (CDP) in Clark County, Nevada,
United States. As of the 2000 census, the CDP population was 7,076, and
its population was estimated at 8,998 in 2007 according to an article in
December 5, 2007 Las Vegas Review Journal. Laughlin is a port located on
the Colorado River 94 miles (152.3 km) south of Las Vegas. Directly
across the river from Laughlin is Bullhead City, Arizona, which has four
times the population of Laughlin (approximately 39,000) and supplies
much of the workforce.
Officially, Laughlin is not incorporated as a municipality. It is
governed by the Clark County Board of Commissioners, which receives
advice from the appointed Laughlin Town Advisory Board, which in turn is
headed by a Town Manager (instead of a Mayor). Police protection is
provided by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD), and
fire protection by the Clark County Fire Department.
Laughlin is the third most visited casino and resort destination in the
state after Las Vegas and Reno, and is one of the top 5 destinations for
American RV enthusiasts. The unincorporated township is named for
founder Don Laughlin, an Owatonna, Minnesota native who owns the
Riverside Resort and Casino.
Reportedly the name "Laughlin" was chosen for the post office after
other proposed names, including "Jackpot", "Riverside" and "Casino",
were rejected by the United States Postal Service.
Laughlin is advertised as a more family-friendly venue than its
contemporaries, and as such has a greater emphasis on outdoor and family
activities as opposed to the greater glitz and adult entertainment found
in Las Vegas or Reno. Many of the casinos that line the Colorado River
are linked by an unofficial pedestrian thoroughfare known as the
Laughlin Riverwalk.
