Edgewater Casino - Laughlin, Nevada - Hotel Resort on the Colorado River

The Edgewater Casino is a centrally located Laughlin landmark, with its three 26-story towers rising straight up from the banks of the Colorado River. Blue neon cascades like a waterfall down its exterior facade, while the interior walls are decorated with hand-painted, Native American designs.

The management strives to maintain a friendly, relaxed Southwestern atmosphere. Valet parking, 24-hour front desk service, overnight dry-cleaning and express check-out are just a few of the ways in which the hotel caters to the needs of its guests.

Both Deluxe Rooms and Spa Suites are available among the resort's 1,420 rooms. Those located on the south side provide views of Arizona and the Colorado River, while those on the north face the mountain ranges of Nevada.

Each suite offers a full package of amenities, including video on-demand, television with remote, high-speed Internet access, velour robes, a coffee maker, refrigerator, wet bar or dining area, a hair dryer, an iron and ironing board, and complimentary bath products. Hair dryers and irons/ironing boards may be requested from housekeeping for guests staying in standard rooms.

For those who enjoy the gaming action, the resort offers a casino that covers 60,000 square feet. Slot and video poker players can choose from among 1,359 machines on the ground floor, which also features 45 live table games, including craps, blackjack and roulette.

Dealing Texas Hold'em, Seven-Card Stud and Omaha High-Lo Split, the Edgewater Casino poker room is allegedly the river's friendliest, while the Race and Sports Book is undeniably Laughlin's largest. Sporting events can be watched on the big screens behind the betting counters or on dozens of personal television monitors.

Visitors are encouraged to stop by the Access Players Club and sign up for membership before wagering. Free slot play, cash back, resort comps, gas cards and gifts are just some of the rewards offered to members.
