Riverside RV Park. The RV Park is located across the street from Laughlin's founder’s Don Laughlin's Riverside Casino. You can walk to the casinos, take a shuttle from the RV park to the Riverside (runs frequently and drops you off at your RV), walk the boardwalk on the beautiful Colorado River to most all of the casinos or take a water taxi (an exciting trip in itself). There is a nice public city park beside the Riverside Casino complete with a boat ramp and a fishing dock; you can let your dog swim or just walk beside the river.
This will be a loosely scheduled outing so that everyone can enjoy the main attraction—the casinos. Laughlin still has affordable gambling. You might even be able to find $3 blackjack and craps and of course there are plenty of penny slots.
Wednesday we will plan on attending an 8 p.m. performance of the Dance of Desire (Irish Dance show) at the Riverside Casino. The performers are straight from Ireland and are very good dancers, singers and musicians.
Thursday and Saturday mornings we will have our famous dog walk (people without dogs welcome) to the city park on the river. We usually attract a lot of attention with this walk.
Also on Thursday, we will have our traditional St. Patrick's Day feast. We will eat dinner together outside at the RV Park. Please bring a small corned beef, potatoes and cabbage; we will sample each other's cooking. If you don’t like the Irish meal, bring your preferred main dish for yourself. Be sure to dress in green.
Friday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., we will have our second annual 9-hole golf outing at the Riverview Resort Golf Course. This is a picturesque Par 3, 9-hole course with rolling hills, challenging water hazards and well-placed sand bunkers. Bring your own clubs rent them there. The cost is $12 per person plus $10 for the golf cart. Reservations were needed by March 1. Please email your rally hosts at jtgreeley@gmail.com or lhagge7@gmail.com if you plan to participate or call (480) 332-6724.
Friday night we will go to a seafood buffet at one of the casinos.
Sign up for the player’s card at the Riverside Casino and we can all get a hot dog and beer or soda for a nominal fee on Saturday for lunch. We will have our chateau cardboard on Saturday during our Oprah/Ellen interview and then our second annual Irish potato famine bar. We will supply all the fixings; you just need to bring your already baked potato. This was a big hit last year. You would be surprised what we can pile on those spuds.
Sunday morning we will enjoy a champagne brunch buffet at the Riverside Casino. We will have a happy hour Sunday night, so please bring light munchies and your drink of choice. Some of us may go bowling after.
