That totally depends on what you are looking for and price range. There are big, huge properties and smaller ones that are cheaper but further from the main area.

You can check below for a general map of Laughlin and the hotels so you can choose if you’d rather be on the main "strip" or willing to deal with traveling to it:

I like the Riverside Mostly because I won eight thousand dollars there but The town is so small you can walk to all of the clubs pretty easily no matter where you stay. The Riverside is the best for getting in and out of the parking lot because it is at the north end of the strip. you can walk down to the river the best there too.

I stayed at the Colorado belle which was fun. Laughlin is kind of a boring town simply because there is not much to do. It is the second largest gambling city in nevada.
