We haven't boated that section of the river in years. It used to be the place we went back in the day. The water was freezing cold and the current was insane. You had to put your trailer about 30-40d tilt down river to get your boat on the trailer at the Riverside ramp.
Back then Harrah's was pretty nice. Last time I stayed there it scared me.
Since the close of the SCE Mohave Plant, that entire area has taken a pretty serious economical blow. Not sure if it will ever recover.

How did the V10 Ford do for you???
The sunset picture was taken from the Willow Valley Marina. The Monday evening boat ride down river from the dam was incredible. We left the Laughlin strip right at sunset. I would've taken pictures but my phone was dead. The lights from the casinos reflecting off the river is a sight to see.
It was a very last minute trip so I rode out with a friend in his Duramax (Boy I really want another one.) I store my boat in Mohave Valley. The Ford has been running good. I haven't had it on another road trip yet and I probably won't for awhile. I've been going to the river every other weekend for the past two months. I think I need to stay home for a little while and get some work around the house done.
I've never launched in that current and would never wish to. I've stayed in Laughlin a dozen or so times (AVI, Aquarius, and Golden Nugget) and have always trailered my boat down to Willow Valley or Jack Smith to launch. That current is gnarly. Originally Posted by Hotboat
