Submarine AZ's Review
http://www.coloradobelle.com
The Boiler Room is a great place to eat/drink and hang out. Best place to
gamble, they play good music. Craps anyone?
The Mississippi room is excellent also.

This is where I stay. Lots of tables (4 craps tables!!) and high $$ slots
but they always seem to get the better of me. Try the Alta Villa if you
are looking for finer dining. Their buffet is also pretty good and quick.
The Diner is great for late night bingeing.They also have cool riverview
rooms. In fact, you can see the river from just about every room, even if
it is only about a 2ft view. They had a new dance club last year to
replace their "We refuse to die even if we have to DANCE TO THEse
HITS till were 50!" show. Hope the dance club returns this year or is
improved (they only had bottles or shots--- no Crown and Coke!???!!)

There is always the Loser's Lounge!! They added a new tower so this
might be a good place to stay. Stay away from the Watchman, what a rip
off. The Casino did do some remodeling though and I played craps for 8
hours with the same $20 and finally walked away out of sheer exaustion
with double my money.

Nugget Tarzan's is o.k. but overrated if you didn't go early and get
an armband. Only 1 Craps table, what's up with that? We river taxi to here
and gamble back. Always good for a couple of hours.

On the southern end. They have the
best buffet but their casino seems to think you are trapped so they have a
higher blackjack limit and they take all your money. The beach is cool but
now it is for guests only. This casino is a non-smokers paradise. There
are little signs everywhere of what you can and cannot do.

Do not venture down the hotel hallways, some people are still missing in
this maze. The casino is o.k. Think Colorado Belle but in green. Kokopelli
Lounge is alright.

This place has changed names often and has tried several different club
scenes. Some worked, some didn't. I hope they are on this year.

Only stayed there temporarily, if you know what I mean. The rooms seemed
o.k. and I did alright at the tables. It isn't on the water though.
I don't recommend camping simply because the
hotel's are so cheap. You would probably spend the same or more paying for
an RV site plus gas etc. and no Maid Service! Launching at Katherines
Landing is relatively easy and there is also Cabinsite, Telephone, and
Powerline coves to launch from if you need a boat ramp. You can launch
into the Colorado River anywhere you can find a space to back in, even in
the middle of Bullhead City. There are many official ramps on both sides
of the river though.
Always get gas in Bullhead AZ. It is quite a bit cheaper.
There are river taxis to take you to each casino and across to the AZ
side. Very cheap.
You can walk around all the casino's and between with your drinks!!! This
is an excellent place to party, no need to drive anywhere.
They put on an excellent fireworks show for
the 4th. You can see it from anywhere so don't worry about getting a good
spot. It lasts for about 45min to an hour. There are lots of boats on the
river watching too. If you do this, keep it cool because the river patrol
loves to bust people at this time. No drinking if you're the driver and
watch the under 21's and no flashing. :( (((((((((((
Can you tell I am just itching to go?
