we have been to many hotels in laughlin and we like them all, but for kicken back and relaxing AVI gets my vote. the food is not Bellagio but good. The rooms in the tower are excellent with a great view for a few dollars more. If you want first class casino go to the Palms, or Bellagio, or other high end Vegas. If you want to relax on the beach for a reasonable rate with a great room, they have my vote. Laughlin is not meant for high rollers, just laid back vacationing.
