    I do most of my boating up that way since my buddy has a pad just downriver from the Avi in willow valley. Never stayed there but have hit up the 3.99 all you can eat spaghetti and meatballs
    There are plenty of beaches, especially once you get down to around Topock. A lot of the beaches above Needles are Indian land so they say you need a permit BUt I've never been hassled.
    Oh yeah, the water levels go up and down a lot so if you have a big boat you may not want(or be able) to launch until after 10AM.

    I love the place, especially with the wife/kids. The new hotel is nice, the beach/lagoon is clean, they have a gas dock, a store for beer/ice...the launch ramp is decent, and of course my favorite, the buffet...crab legs on Friday night..already cut in half !!! IMO you don't have to leave the place - they have everything. And on the big holidays, you can order a couple pizzas and anchor in the lagoon for the fireworks display. The store has tons of fireworks too !! I'll be making reservations for July 19-23...should be fun !

    Avi was one of my favorite places to stay. Like others have said, it pretty much has it all. As far as beaches, go upriver a couple miles, and the AZ side has some nice beaches. Go a little further up, and you can beach your boat at Lazy Harry's and have a cocktail, too. the 4th of July will be a trip this year. It'll be the first time I'll have the boat out at night.

    My only drawback to the AVI is the casino....It just don't pay well and the cocktail waitresses are slow....
    There are some very nice beaches if you go down to Park Moabi...
    If the river is up head upriver about 5-6 miles and hit Lazy harrys for a beer and burger...

    Some advice...bring a spot light...the river is damn dark at night....If you go up to the casinos at laughlin for their fireworks show try to anchor by other boats that are anchored!! Too many boats just keep idleing back and forth and the exhaust smell really gets to you after awhile...
