How much does a budget hotel in Laughlin cost?

Which area of Laughlin is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers seeking cheap hotels in Laughlin, the main strip along the Colorado River offers the best value, particularly at the larger casino resorts. While not a conventional "neighbourhood," this area consolidates most of the accommodation options, and many provide competitive rates to attract visitors.

These resorts frequently offer discounted rooms, especially during off-peak seasons or mid-week, and often include complimentary access to amenities like swimming pools. Solo travellers can also take advantage of free entertainment options, such as live music in casino lounges or simply enjoying the river views.
When is the most affordable time to visit Laughlin?
The most affordable time to visit Laughlin is typically during the off-peak seasons, particularly in the summer months (June to August) when the desert heat deters many visitors, or certain weekdays outside of major holidays and special events. During these periods, you'll generally find lower prices on accommodation, and fewer crowds, making it easier to snag a good deal.

For solo travellers, visiting mid-week can be especially advantageous. Many hotels offer discounted rates from Sunday through Thursday, and you'll find the casinos and restaurants less busy, allowing for a more relaxed experience. You can often enjoy free entertainment at some of the riverside resorts, and the lower demand for activities means better chances of securing cheaper tickets for river cruises or local attractions.

Families might find the summer months appealing despite the heat, as this is when many resorts offer special promotions and often have lower room rates. While daytime temperatures can be high, the resorts are well-equipped with air conditioning and swimming pools, providing a refreshing escape.
Is Laughlin a budget-friendly destination?
While Laughlin is generally considered a destination for those seeking entertainment and gambling, which can incur costs, travellers can absolutely experience its offerings on a budget with some smart planning.

For accommodation, look for deals at the many hotels and resorts along the Colorado River, especially during off-peak seasons or mid-week. Many establishments offer competitive rates and sometimes include dining credits or other perks. Solo travellers will find that some resorts offer particularly good value on single rooms.

Couples can enjoy many free or low-cost activities. Take a stroll along the Riverwalk, which connects many of the casinos and offers scenic views of the Colorado River.

It's a lovely spot for an evening walk, especially as the lights come on.

For a bit of local history and nature, head to the Colorado River Museum, located just across the bridge in Bullhead City, Arizona. Admission is free, and it offers insights into the region's past, from Native American history to the construction of the Davis Dam. Solo travellers might enjoy the quiet contemplation of the exhibits.

Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Laughlin as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Laughlin for you.
