I second Bossman. Laughlin is on the Colorado River. You can travel inexpensively between most of the casinos on the river. Adults can gamble and there is more open spaces for kids. There is a riverwalk by land. 4th of July fireworks. A good place for a family to vacation. You can jetski, take river tours, in some places fish, You can see the fish swimming in the water at the many docks. It is normally 5-10 degrees warmer than Vegas and it is substantially less expensive.
