Thread: Laughlin on the 4th

    IÂ’ve been going to Laughlin for the Fourth of July for several years now. Always enjoy the fireworks show and always wondered what it would be like to watch it on the river. Has anyone here watched it from the water? If so whatÂ’s the drill, get out early anchor and wait? Where to launch from etc.

    Yeah the Laughlin fireworks show on the River is pretty cool. But personally, I like the one at the Avi better..I think they have a better show and you can get closer. We always order a couple pizzas from the pizza place there at the Avi, and then anchor right in the lagoon and watch the show. And afterwards you can light off your own fireworks..it's legal there.

    The show is pretty good on the water...when I went a couple years ago they closed the river off past harrahs so we anchored right off the beach at harrahs..Great spot for the show but the problem I found was that too many lazy people don't anchor..they drive right up to the cut off line and drift back, then drive up again and drift back, except they don't turn off there engines when they drift...by the time the show was half over everyone on my boat had burning eyes from the exhaust and one of the kids threw up on the way back to the launch ramp...
    Also, the river is damn dark at night....bring a good spot light for the ride back to the ramp!

    I think the best place is right at the casinos...As soon as the show is over you can go back inside and get cooled off...
    The year before we watched them on the water we went to the big parking lot across the river from the riverside, we had a great view but the temperature on top of that blacktop was still around 105degrees at 9pm...but it felt hotter...

    Take the Riverside's "BOOZE" cruise, we did this last year. They park you right under the show, front row and have a good bar and snacks.

    Greg.......I know!! It's 110 at midnight.....we are staying at the Riverside, so I was thinking planting my butt on the grass there and then back inside for another refreshment once it's over! Thanks for the info!!

    the kids will have fun on the boat at least ours did I may have made it sound worst than it is, not a true BOOZE cruise only a few people enjoy the bar. It is a firework boat ride
