    I was in Laughlin on a Monday-Wednesday with my three kids and there was not much to do. Most fun things and restaurants were closed on Mondays and Tuesdays (including this boat tour). You can't make reservations online and when I called the information number I was told that it's first come first served and to just show up Wednesday morning when the ticket center is open again. No issues there, the ticket office is in the Riverside Casino, right next to the boat dock. Adults 13 and older are $12, kids 3-12 are $6, and kids 2 and under are free. The boat itself has two levels. The bottom level has an air conditioned area with a little bar and there are bathrooms on board. The upper level is open-air but has a canopy to keep you in the shade. The tour starts off by taking you under the Laughlin bridge and to the Davis Dam, then turns around and takes you down past all the casinos to Harrah's at the end and then back up to dock. Our ride was an hour, not an hour and twenty minutes, but we had a great time. There are speakers with a recorded tour telling you all about the history of Laughlin and the Dam. Very friendly crew and great photo opportunities for a small price.

    I recently took my 84 year old Aunt and Uncle on the USS Riverside tour during a stay at the Riverside Casino. First of all the ticket prices are listed at $12 each for adults. I would highly suggest looking for 2 for 1 coupons which you can find in a few Laughlin tourist books. You can probably find them elsewhere as well. We actually had some free tickets as well. I don't know if the tour is quite worth $12, but $6 seems reasonable. If you want anything to drink on board you're going to pay a higher price due things, do know that going in. The tour itself is about an hour and 15 minutes. There is a bar with a bartender on board. There are also restrooms which are helpful. There are two levels with a small air conditioned seating area on the first level near the bar. If it's warm outside, that may fill up quickly. It also attracts the bugs, so be warned. The tour is pretty interesting and you get to see the dam which controls the flow of the river. The tour guide is all just a recording, but the boat captain seems to keep up with it well. The tour goes over the history of each casino which was interesting. My main suggestion would be to be mindful of the weather. If it is summer it will be hit and you may not want to do the tour in the heat of the day. People all started to cram down in the air conditioned section toward the end. During the week the last tour starts at 4:30pm, so there is no escaping the heat. I would suggest going on a weekend night or during the winter when the weather cools off. Enjoy!

    I was looking forward to a boat ride! The fee is $12 for adults and $6 for kids. At the beginning they seem to speed towards at the end, it really draaags to meet their time promise. We got the last ride and they start cleaning the trash ,closing the restrooms and one of the host said " to be neat about it." Out of courtesy I was " like so I really have to feel like I'm being time and watch while on tour. Really?" Can't it wait till after!The speakers for tour should really be louder. Over all it was okay!

    The USS Riverside docks at the Don Laughlin's Riverside Resort. The cost is $10 for a 1 hour and 20 minutes river ride. The tour on the Colorado river goes as North as the Davis Dam (it's low enough to go under the bridge) and all the way to Harrah's Casino in the South. During the tour we heard over the PA the history of Laughlin. They have a bar with reasonable prices ($1.00 for a glass of soda). The staff is very friendly. I recommend this tour to anyone that visits Laughlin NV the tour was well worth the $10 price.

    This boat ride was a hoot, took us under the Laughlin Bridge and up close to the Davis Dam. It was narrated with fun facts about the hotels, history of Laughlin and more! A fun leisurely activity that gives you a history lesson of the Colorado river and local area. Glad we went with this fun tour.

    BUGS!!!

    Such an amazing experience and a plus because it was my birthday…read more After looking for things to do in Laughlin, my fiancé reserved a dinner cruise through Laughlin River Tours. It was a bit pricey but well worth the money since it included a 3-course meal. Upon entering the Grand Celebration, we were greeted by the crew and seated at our table. A guy was playing live music, which made the ambience romantic and festive. The tour is approximately 2 hours and cruises through the Colorado River at sunset. Taking in the views and just enjoying our night together made it that much more special. Plus, we were seated with a couple who were celebrating their 40th anniversary. The captain announced all the celebrations and honored everyone, which caused everyone to cheer and just embrace the night. Definitely a great memory of our trip. Our food was pretty yummy too. We opted for the prime rib, and the portion was so huge and unexpected. The potatoes were delicious and seasoned with perfection. I really enjoyed that my table was adorned with a birthday card from the crew, and they also brought me out a birthday cake to end the night. If you are in Laughlin, I highly recommend booking a dinner cruise. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or just enjoying time with your loved ones, you will have a great night that you will be talking about for a few weeks.

The staff is very friendly and happy to have you. There is salad and water waiting when you arrive and they have the keepers of alcohol standing by and ready!! The food didn't take long and was really well done. The salmon was huge and I ate up every flavorful bite! They have a top deck with tables and chairs and a man playing live music. The view is great and the boat didn't rock too much. My only complaint was that the dessert took forever, BUT when it was time to leave they had my drink in a to go cup so I forgave them.

He was incredibly responsive, professional, and friendly throughout the entire process. We actually found Mike after another rental company started flaking on us. After reading that company's reviews, we were worried our trip was going to be ruined. We reached out to Mike, and he got everything arranged in less than 24 hours and had us out on the water without any issues. He took the time to answer every question we had and made the entire experience stress-free. He was also extremely helpful getting us in and out of the water. We had a group of 8 and spent the day tubing on Lake Mohave. It was one of the highlights of our trip. The boat was perfect, everything was exactly as promised, and the service was outstanding. Boat was like new and super clean. If you're looking for a reliable boat rental company at Lake Mohave, don't hesitate to book with Mike. We'll absolutely be renting from him again the next time we're in town!

However, I accidentally went to another rental shop and thought my reservation was there. That rental shop did not tell me my reservation wasn't on their books and so I ended up renting from them, not knowing that I made a reservation with a different company (Riverstar) I ended up having a missed call from an unknown number at 12 and I called it back at 5 only to realize it was Riverstar rentals asking where I was with my reservation and why I didn't show up to get me jet skis. At that moment, I had realized I didn't have a reservation for the skis I picked up. When speaking with the owner (I forget his name) I could tell he was bummed as he held the skis all day waiting for me when they easily could have gone to someone else. Instead of complaining and getting upset with me, he asked if I had fun, was understanding about it and handled it very professionally. I am looking forward to using River Star rentals next time I visit. It's not always about how company's handle things that go right, but how they handle them when they go wrong.

London Bridge Jet Boat Tours is a locally-owned tour company…read morebased out of Laughlin, NV which specializes in 6 hr. excursions to Havasu City's London Bridge. If you're unfamiliar with London Bridge (peep my review for it) it's an iconic landmark in Havasu which is built from materials from World War ll. It's got amazing English architecture and is completely walkable. London Bridge Jet Boat Tours picks up folks from the Edgewater and Harrah's casinos (which have their own docks) respectively and takes them down to Arizona. It's about 2 hours to get to Havasu, another 2 hours to enjoy and tour London Bridge, and one last pair of hours for the boat ride back to Laughlin. The tour is about $98 per person. It's got great views of the Colorado River and is described as follows "Your 58-mile journey from Laughlin to Lake Havasu includes a guided experience through the scenic Topock Gorge, known for volcanic rock formations, desert wildlife, and Native American petroglyphs. You'll dock at the historic London Bridge for a 2-hour stop to explore shops and restaurants". We hit up all of these spots while on the tour and I was in awe! The tour company's staff were wonderful, the ticket representative at the ticket shack was friendly and super positive! Our tour guide Tye was surprisingly super hot and a great captain. I felt safe and learned quite a bit about my new surroundings.
