Harrah's Laughlin (formerly Harrah's Del Rio) is a casino hotel on the banks of the Colorado River in Laughlin, Nevada. It has 1,505 rooms, including 115 suites, as well as a 56,357 sq ft (5,235.7 m2) casino. There are several restaurants, a poker room, keno and a race and sports book.[1] It is owned by Vici Properties and operated by Caesars Entertainment.

History[]

It was opened on August 29, 1988 with the 15-story South Tower and the 18-story Central Tower making up the hotel. In 1992, construction of the 20-story North Tower was completed. The South Tower operates as an adult-only facility and the North and Central Towers serve as family towers of the hotel.

Harrah's Laughlin was the site of the River Run Riot, a fight between the Hells Angels and the Mongols during the annual Laughlin River Run. 3 people were killed during the fighting.

In July 2020, Eldorado Resorts acquired Caesars Entertainment, taking over operations of the property.[2] In connection with that acquisition, Vici Properties bought the real estate of Harrah's Laughlin for $435 million and leased it back to Eldorado (newly renamed as Caesars Entertainment).[3][4]
