I've been to Laughlin many times in the past, and have stayed in various hotels on the river. River Palms has been the second hotel in Laughlin that I have spent the night the most. Not sure what is going on lately, but seems like it is going down hill. I remember the rooms were better maintained, the beds had the extra cover on it, now its just white sheets. The casino area used to be two floors, now its just secluded to the first floor and not many slot machines...Overall, I guess, you get what you pay for. So it was not that bad.

Cheap and cheerful, but a sad reflection of what it once was. Will someone please spend some money to upgrade this hotel. For all its fault, this hotel still offers one of the best priced nights to be found in Laughlin.

the price was great. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay there again. Remember to bring your own coffee pot! Even the slots were nice to us!! The hotel was quite, the buffet was good. Love going to Denny's, they give Military discounts as well as senior citizen discounts!

Such a friendly and knowledgeable staff. Everyone there was so welcoming Made us feel like we were on a Hawaiian vacation actually.The grounds are lovely and being right on the river is such a view. Take the water taxi down to the end for anice cream cone. A trip in the way back machine yet so satisfying.

If you book a weekday special room rate of LESS than sixteen bucks like I did; this hotel is a grand palace (mainly due to "I got a fantastic deal" goggles) and is currently one of the best hotel bargains on the planet... If you book a high season weekend room rate of OVER eighty bucks, it's a rip off and a total dump.... let me explain. IF you pay a high rate, OR are the kind of person who needs things "updated", OR want to be in the middle of the party zone, you probably WON'T LIKE the River Palms... IF your rate was low...AND you are a "cheapskate" traveler... AND don't mind things being a bit worn and dated (so long as the room is clean and bed comfortable)... AND you like a quiet hotel out of the 'party zone'... you probably WILL LOVE the River Palms.The REALLY good news is that during my stay the River Palms sold. It's new owners also own the Boomtown Casino in Reno, and stated in a television news report that they plan to "spend a significant amount of money in improvements to the hotel"... the transfer of owners will happen this fall pending Nevada Gaming Commission approval. From a strictly architectural standpoint the River Palms is the best designed hotel in Laughlin, it has a pool that gets sun all day (as no one has built a 20 story tower directly South or West of the pool area like many of the other hotels in Laughlin have done), the North tower is angled so that the "mountain view" rooms have a view of the Laughlin Strip above about the 7th floor.The casino is working "half size" at the moment... as the current owners have decided to focus on their other Laughlin property. But it is manageable size, and the slots were loose enough... there were mostly slots, a small slot tournament area, a premium slot area with some tables, and the "table games" were actually machines; complete with creepy virtual dealers who "stood there and smiled" on a video loop. The Buffet is open every night for dinner, and weekends for breakfast... it is cheap (show players club card for discount) and middle of the road as far as quality goes... there is a Denny's in the hotel, but I can dine there at home so I skipped it... There was not room service available. The Hot Tub was hot, had mesh shading from direct sunlight, and was right next to the pool and pool bar (bar closed weekdays).... there are no cabanas, and the pool furniture was cheap, but the pool area has a great view of the river, is a nice size so long as it isn't crowded, is very pleasant, with birds, grass, and palm trees around the area. The water in both pool and hot tub was clean and clear, and the pool area was nicely maintained and clean.If you visit the pool during the day and plan to go back in the evening SAVE YOUR TOWEL as there don't seem to be any clean towels put out in the pool area in the evening.... I learned this the hard way on the first night and had to drip dry. The pool is open 7am-11pm and children may use the pool between 11am and 7pm. The lobby needs a LOT of TLC... the carpet has a ton of duct tape patches on it... and the hotel does not put it's best foot forward in the check in area.The hotel grounds are nicely maintained and there are lots of bunnies munching the grass.The riverwalk between the River Palms and Golden Nugget is open, but is the saddest part of the walk... the monkey statues have broken tails, and look a bit pitiful... things perk up at the Nugget and Pioneer that's for sure... The riverwalk is VERY walkable, and Three times during my stay I walked from my room at the River Palms past every hotel but Harrah's up the river and across the bridge to the 'Welcome to Arizona' sign and back... stopping for breakfast at the buffet at Aquarius (best buffet in Laughlin, better than Harrahs now)... whole trip including leisurely breakfast took two hours, best before 8am as it got too hot out by 10am to do that long a walk. The River Palms HAD a private beach... it is closed and overgrown. The gift shop had a nice selection of souveni
