Laughlin, Nevada: Launch Point to Wonders of the American West

NAGA Convention attendees have become accustomed to locations that allow for some extended recreational and leisure time for those who plan ahead. The NAGA Annual Convention in Laughlin, Nevada, provides an opportunity to check off a major bucket list item in addition to some other fantastic spots to visit.

Hoover Dam is about 90 minutes from the Aquarius Hotel & Casino and presents a great day trip opportunity for some Tuesday afternoon hooky after the convention adjourns for the day at lunchtime. The full tour and photography opportunities are spectacular.

For those who want to take advantage of the low hotel room rates by coming early or staying in Laughlin after the Convention closes, there are several inspiring locations within an easy drive.

Sedona, Arizona – (3:19 drive from Laughlin) which features amazing red rock formations that can be experienced on jeep tours along with Sliding Rock Park.

Grand Canyon – (2–3-hour drive from Laughlin) You can visit some amazing Grand Canyon sights about 2 hours from Laughlin before Grand Canyon National Park itself which is a 3:15 minute drive from Laughlin. Until you have visited the Grand Canyon, you cannot fathom its size and wonder from photographs alone.

Glen Canyon Dam & Antelope Canyon – (5-hour drive from Laughlin) Experience two spectacular visits in the same town with a boat ride on the Colorado River through Glen Canyon and a hike through Antelope Canyon

“After doing the site visits at Laughlin hotels for the NAGA Convention, I took my wife to all of these amazing spots,” explained NAGA Executive Director Rob Sexton. “All were incredible experiences that were so affordable! I was so glad we extended our stay and highly recommend it to NAGA Convention attendees. When you’ve already paid for flights, staying a few extra days is a much smaller added expense to see amazing natural wonders.”
