River and all the stuff in the place 10/10

Omgg i need to come back now so nice my favorite part is the pool i will come back again

Looks like blood on curtain

Room was okay other than stains we realized it had once the fitted sheet came off . It was on the mattress protector . Pool has very strict rules . No outside food or snacks unless it's from their food court in hotel .

I've been coming to the Avi for years and have stayed in several different towers. This is the first time I've ever experienced something like this. The morning we were checking out, we found what appeared to be a large cockroach in our room. When I reported it to the front desk and showed them a video, I was simply told it was a "river bug" because of the hotel's location and that there was nothing they could do. I understand the hotel is located near the river and that insects from outside may occasionally make their way indoors. However, regardless of what it's called, it looked like a cockroach and finding it crawling around our room was disgusting and very unsettling. What disappointed me the most was how the situation was handled. It felt like my concern was brushed off instead of being acknowledged. I wasn't expecting perfection, but I did expect a sincere apology or some effort to make things right after being a loyal guest for so many years.

Perfect for all the Family . They have a kid quest (child care ) so the parents can get a few for a few and have adult time. Amazing pool recreation area with water slides and a beautiful private beach. Fireworks in the evening just amazing . I stayed in the beach tower pool view. I will be booking again for a longer period next time I'm out this way

Drawer kept opening

2 days before our visit we decided to read reviews on yelp and we were terrified! (6 months preggo and 3 very opinionated teens) When we walked into the lobby it was very clean, of course it smelled like smoke, its a casino for gods sake! Not super overwhelming like others had mentioned. The room and bathroom were surprisingly clean and very roomy! There was no hair left laying around in the bathroom as previously mentioned in other posts. The water pressure in the shower was great, however the shower head was very low. My husband had to squat just to get wet. The toilet was also very low which was a little weird to me. The room came with an iron, ironing board and a blow dryer. Our end table did have an issue with the drawer, it kept opening but it wasn't a deal breaker!! I just so happened to have tape and that did the trick. The temperature knob in our mini fridge was missing so it took us a while to figure out how to make it cooler. The ac kept the room nice and cool but it was very loud, sounded like it was struggling big time. They had a smart TV, we were able to access netflix, amazin prime and another service (i cant remember) The arcade was decent but was prob better for smaller kids. Our kids still enjoyed it. The family pool was beautiful with plenty of sitting areas. It was about 90 something degrees when we went but the water was too cold for me! The kids and my husband had fun on the slides they had. They don't allow outside food or drinks but they had a little bar/snack shack. We did have to pay an additional 15$ for an extra pool wristband. 4 were given for a double bed room. The private beach was very cute but we didn't really spend any time there unfortunately. The ice machine was working and was a short distance from our room. We got panda express pretty late in the day, the food was a little sad but it was expected. We were located in the central tower, maybe all the terrible reviews werw from different areas of the hotel? Who knows. Oh, there only seemed to be luggage carts for those who were parking in valet, that part kinda sucked. We were also a ahirt distance from a gas station, Mc donalds, Starbucks and a few grocery markets. Overall we really enjoyed our time there and will def be visiting again.

It is a fun weekend getaway in Laughlin IF you know what you're getting into. 1. The casino resort is about 20 miles south of the main Laughlin strip of casinos. It's more secluded and less crowded, which can be a plus or minus depending on what you're looking for. The crowd tends to be older and calm. It's relaxing and not a party vibe. 2. The casino is VERY smoky and if you stay in the hotel here, the smoke is in the corridors too. There ventilation needs to be improved. Also the casino entrance is an open atrium that leads to the hotel hallways upstairs which adds to the smoke everywhere. 3. The pool and beach is very nice and chill. There's a bigger pool for families and kids and a separate pool hot tub section for adults alone. The pool is not heated so it's too cold to swim in the winter months but the hot tub is nice. 4. The rooms are nothing special but they're clean and do its job. The housekeeping was interesting as they did come and clean the bathroom and refill the toiletries, but the beds were sloppily made and the pillows simply thrown at the headboard. 5. Service at check in and at the restaurants were fine. The service at Mojave Coffee was great. 6. The casino is a good size with mostly a lot machines and electronic games. 7. There is a movie theater on site and an arcade which is good for kids. Bottom line: it's a fun place to get away if you know what to expect. It's good for casual gambling, laying by the pool, and a no frills yet fun experience.

KAMATHU! (WELCOME!)... I felt the good vibes at this resort which touts making all visitors feel welcomed no matter their background. Avi values citizenship and professionalism which is apparent in their business practices. Being a minority myself within several groups. I felt a warm welcome when I toured the premises. Avi abides by the tribe's values of "KAMATHU" and hospitality which is posted in many of the resort's spaces. I appreciated this very much! The resort was HIDDEN, MELLOW, & FAMILY-FRIENDLY! I feel super safe every time I visit Avi Resort and Casino, it's got attentive staff, a wholesome vibe, and plenty of walking space. Equipped with a private beach, the Avi is perfect for quiet getaways and unforgettable moments by the Colorado River. There's even a dock for personal water crafts and small boats if you brought your own! Good news! If you're a KOA camp member there's RV and trailer space near the front of the casino. I saw plenty of families utilizing some awesome KOA perks like the Avi pool and outdoor area. I love the Avi's wide array of food options. From their food court (which has a Thrifty's ice cream), to their Native Harvest Buffet with a delicious variety of meals, to their inviting Feathers cafe and bars. Everything tasted great! The casino floor doesn't smell like smoke like some other casinos in Laughlin and it's easy to navigate. The Avi has a small gift shop (with no AC) which is well-stocked with Avi merch like polos and vacation wear. I spotted a Vegas Golden Knights placard, this gift shop got instant kudos, GO KNIGHTS! Parking is shaded and near the casino entrance, so don't worry about running from your car. I love how convenient this resort is!

Bathtub  dirty and the outside also

I stayed here for over 15 years but this time was horrible experience .. blood on my pillow case, Dirty bathroom then add all the other things make me super sad employees & management don't care for a nice place like AVI.

Went with family who are regulars and even booked through the VIP hostess. Upon arrival we were unable to speak with the VIP hostess and were separated from the rest of our group and put in a different tower even though we were the first ones to check in. Associate was not very understanding and basically said we had no other options and the room we reserved was not guaranteed. That wasn't too much of a big deal BUT the room was absolutely disgusting . Possibly never even cleaned before arrival and no response or resolution from management after numerous attempts to contact even after we returned home. Very disappointing service on that end. The rest of the resort was great. Service in all of the other areas was great. I must say that. It was strictly the room issue that ruined the trip for us as it felt completely unsanitary. We will avoid returning simply because of the condition of the room which I had to clean myself cause housekeeping never showed up and i had no other option other than to drive 4 hrs back home. Thank goodness we took extra clean sheets and blankets from home just in case. The tower hallways smelled horrible like fritos or something rancid and there were teenagers loitering throughout the halls at night that appeared to be sneaking in through a side door and did not appear to be guests of the resort as admitted by a staff member who stated it's an issue. There were groups of people loitering and yelling in the parking lot area near our window until at least 5 am. I got no sleep at all that night as i didn't feel safe because it sounded as if they were fighting. Our do not disturb sign was taken from our door and the housekeeper in the hall mentioned a lot of people had the same complaint but never retuned with a new one as she promised. Nor did they ever clean our room. I did not feel safe, or clean in that room/tower. It was very unsanitary, hair on the bed, thick dust on the furniture, mold in the shower and dirty restroom floors and toilet. The rest of our group in the beach tower on the other side of the resort had clean rooms so it must have just been where they stuck us. So very disappointing and even more so that management didn't even care to return a call or email as acknowledgement. Do better. Sad because we were looking forward to making this a regular tradition with family and we've stayed here multiple times throughout the years with no issues.

My kids have had fun at this hotel, and that means a lot, so the main reason for 3 stars. Also, our room happened to be really clean. I read a lot of reviews complaining about cleanliness but I couldn't find any issues. Also, the room was a pretty good deal. However, there are some things that could be improved or that might be turn off for some people. For one, the property does reek of smoke. Our room and floor didn't (it was a non-smoking floor) but the main parts of the property and as soon as you walk in you are hit with that smell. The property was supposedly built in 1995, with a major renovation in 2004, but it seems like it is really more dated than that. I would have guessed built in 1988. The pool is beautiful but it was incredibly crowded when we used it in the evening after checking in. My kids loved it though, and the water slide, it didn't seem to bug them at all that it was so crowded. There are lots of nice families but lots of rough looking clientele, so if that bothers you I'd stay elsewhere. Dining options were ok, as we wanted pool time and stayed on a Tuesday we were limited to the small food court and Feathers cafe which all stayed open till 10. I really liked my salad from Feathers and the kids liked the Sbarro pizza. We went and tried out the kids arcade as it was open till 11pm. My kids had fun especially with the Minecraft game. They enjoyed it. We are not into gambling so we didn't come here for the casino part, I thought aspects of that were kind of depressing and dystopic. But all staff were pleasant and our room was clean, kids had fun, it was a deal.

Picture of the empty Rows my RV is behind me looks the same the other direction yet they had to put somebody three feet beside me

Ask the Community - Avi Resort & Casino

Can we dock or beach the boat when we are on the beach ? I did reserve a palapa? Not sure if that makes a difference? Thank you

Can we bring our own grill to the beach?

No grills allowed. :(

Is there a place to dock or beach our jet skis while we're at the beach?

You can beach you watercraft at the Cove while you are at the beach.

Does this resort have a lazy river?

No lazy river but it does have a large pool, and a private beach right on the Colorado River.

Can you get a pool pass or access to the pool if you,re not staying there?

No. Pool under construction.

Do they offer yetski rentals?

No. They do not. The water levels are really low and the beach area is all green full of algae. We were there last weekend it was empty because the water was nasty.

Do you allow water tubes in the private beach area?

Yes, you can bring inflatable water tubes to the private beach.

Can we take floaties in the pool? When will the watercraft at the beach be open?

No floaties in pool area. And they are no longer allowing boats and jet skis to beach/dock on the beach.

When will the pool be open?

Pool had been renovated and open during their operating hours. No outside food/drinks/ice chests permitted.

Wondering if you had a water taxi to take my friends and I to and from the laughlin strip? If so what are the hours of operations?

Unfortunately the water taxi does not come up this far.

Are all amenities open pool arcade food court etc,?

Yes, pool, arcade, food court, Kids Quest, etc are open.

Are all of the rooms remodeled?

The rooms we stayed in were up to date and clean. The staff/house keeping are great!

When will the hotel and casino open?? Also when will there AZ casino open?

June 4 Casinos open in Nevada. Some Casino in AZ open June 1st

I like to book your luxury room , just wondering what tower it's in?

The Luxury (remodeled) rooms are in different towers, although none are yet river view. Remodeling is still in progress. These rooms are not available through 3rd party booking agents and must be booked on our online portal or by calling direct.

We're staying at avi in a couple of weeks and we booked a king sized bedroom. Is there a pull-out bed or we have to request a bed for a child?

You need to request one and I would call right away and ask for it to be reserved (don't take my word that they do) or if nothing else a note to be added to your reservation.

Can 7 stay in a room if we pay the extra bed fee? It would be my 3 kids and my husband's parents.

I believe so,I'd just check in with 4 people and sneak other 3 in. They might charge u 2 rooms.for 7 people.Its really lay back and very chill

Are you allowed to smoke tobacco on the beach?

Yes. And both Fearher's Cafe and Native Harvest Buffet have smoking sections.

What's the difference between regular rooms vs deluxe rooms?

The view. A deluxe room is in the beach tower.

When is the construction ending?

The Hotel remodel began in July and they are close to completing the first phase which is the block of rooms on 3 floors. This remodel will continue until all the rooms are complete. If you're wondering when rooms will be ready for occupancy, I… 

Can we take beer pong floaters to your river if we're staying in your hotel?

We don't have a problem with your choice of entertainment, we just ask that you respect the environment & don't leave any part of that entertainment in the river.

Housekeeping was outstanding -- whatever we needed, they took care of it immediately. The rooms in that tower are a little dated, but there's plenty of drawer space and a great view of the river, at least in the room we had, which was on the 17th floor along the river. The rooms offer a Keurig-style coffee maker and bottled water which is free. Water pressure in shower was decent. The only downside is there's no in-room safe. The casino floor is loaded with slots, including a lot of modern machines, plus a decent-sized table games area. There are a few restaurants and a small food court. Staff throughout the casino -- including the drink waitresses -- are constantly checking if you need something, which was a nice touch. We primarily ate at the Aquarius Café because it has amazing deals and the food is decent (reminded me of old Vegas deals) Overall eating there was a huge savings compared to the other options. Valet parking is free, which is another nice touch. And like all the casinos along the river, you've got quick access to water taxis to hop over to other casinos. Of all the casinos located on the river, the Aquarius is by far the nicest. Another note if your gambling winning here was not something we accomplished, but we had a great time

Only saw one person get a payout the entire weekend. The Mexican restaurant's line was insane, maybe should have been better prepared and open later for concert weekends. The coffee show employees were incredibly slow. Always a long line. Their process is so outdated. The good. : They have a Fatburger, the drinks were cheap, as in 2 slushy drinks with a quick pour of alcohol was $7 We opted for the kids pool as I didn't sleep at the night before I needed a nap. We tried the adult pool there was 1 million people in the pool on the deck alive band. Not what I was looking for so kid pull it was which worked out great. Happy that I had that option. They also serve those tall slushy drinks, which we got virgin one to take to the pool. I believe there was bowling in movies, but I didn't really see that portion of it and I think they have bingo. Oh, they do have a kids arcade so there's lots to do and it was pretty clean for the most part

First off I'd like to say that we've been visiting this place since late 1980s and really never had…read moreany issues but we have noticed that through the years things have changed but not in a positive way. Or stay this time started off with a long wait to check in, and we noticed that there were supervisors or some type of management staff in the back that never came out unless called, other casinos management staff would assist on getting all the incoming guest assigned their rooms. Now, when it comes to the rooms, we had requested a non-smoking room and they told us at time of check-in that there was none available so they gave us what they could which was unsatisfactory. My wife needs her CPAP to sleep at night and last time we stayed at a smoking room. The smell of smoke contaminated her medical device so bad that she had to exchange it for a new one with this in mind she asked again after checking in and inspecting room if there was any non-smoking rooms for this medical reason and they told her no, so she insisted on speaking with management and after speaking with management , they found a non-smoking room on a different floor that they could provide us. What a miracle. The day after we checked out, my wife checked her bank account and noticed that there was a short on the security deposit, and when she called to questioned it, they told her that the maid service had claimed that we had opened up a water bottle that was in the room and that each water bottle is five dollars My wife and I know better than to use any non-complementary item left in the room because we know that the charges are extremely high and when she told the management staff that we did not use any water bottle or any non-complementary item she was told that if the maid service puts it in their report, then they have to charge no matter what, it all lands on the maid service and what they write down on the report. I suggest to all in the future, if you're staying at this location, videotape and take notes of everything that is in the room and the condition that it's in because it may be a tactic that they used to get a little extra money for the hotel. We are truly going to videotape and photograph all these items. Next time we stay if we decide to return and if we do get charged, we will immediately forward these photos of a before and after of the room's items. On the positive side I would like to thank the employees at the rewards desk for all their help. They are extremely nice and helpful group of people unfortunately that's the only plus I could say about this hotel at this time.

The River Lodge shows it age, 42 years (I think). No ice machines on any level, no pool, dated decor, carpet & curtains. With this mind we weren't sure what to expect of our room but it was clean, even though the water in the bathroom sink drained slowly, bedding was very comfy and it was quiet throughout the night. Also, there might be 7 television channels available but we had a great river view. We stuck to eating at the different themed casinos within the Lodge. We went to Red Dragon and tried the pot stickers & pork char siu with rice; sadly no sauces were available & the staff seemed very frustrated not having the necessary supplies. By the way, they will not pour a drink in a paper cup for you in case you want to take it outside for some reason. Still it was cheap with a total of $10.80 for both dishes. We also tried a personal pepperoni pizza at Dotty's, which wasn't bad just not very hot/ warm. I believe that cost was $7.00. The last thing we tried was a pot roast dip sandwich at U1 that included fries & au jus. The flavor was good but the sandwich had no cheese at all; cost $7.00.
