New craps player here. I have been playing craps exclusively on my last 3 trips to Laughlin. I have been gambling in Laughlin since 2000 and we now go 2x a year for about the past 5 years. I mostly play at the Edgewater, that's where we stay, Pioneer, and the Golden Nugget. I've also played at the Riverside, and Tropicana Express. Anyway, I was wondering if any of you guys can share your experience with craps in Laughlin. Thanks guys.

Sorry. Its been too long since I was in Laughlin. I recall the water taxi days and the town across the river had only one traffic light and seven stop signs or something. Back in those days the craps tables were leisurely affairs since so few played atleast there were very few the hours I was there. The Edgewater was slots and blackjack back then, not much action at the craps tables. The Pioneer used to have one of the best web pages for an explanation of the craps layout but I think they re-did their website about six months ago and that page seems to have disappeared.

It must be nice to be away from the Las Vegas Strip's pornslappers and time=share hustlers.

I have played craps in all of them at least a little, collecting souvenir chips for my collection. I stay at Harrah's when in Laughlin, and I do most of my playing there. I have had some of my best sessions and some of my worst sessions there. My recollection is that the dealers were polite, friendly, and as competent as other dealers at other casinos where I have played.

I do recall noticing one time that their dealer rotation pattern was different from what I am familiar with, but I don't remember the details. I think I posted something about it on this forum, and someone explained it, but I can't find those posts right now.

I love Laughlin and go there 6-8 times per year. Ironically I am only 25. I learned to play craps at the Tropicana almost 3 years ago. I mostly play there or at the Colorado Belle. Things have been pretty sad at the craps tables over the last 6 months. Even on a Saturday night there is a pretty good chance that the craps tables will be empty. I have had some great rolls in Laughlin over the years though. Minimums are low and the crews are usually friendly.

The Riverside is terrific for craps, and the waitresses are sexy.

I would have to say I enjoy the Belles Craps the best. Hope I still do after next months trip.

Wife and I started doing Laughlin years ago when LV weekend rates were crazy and loved the laid back river. For $50 rent a small fishing boat on lake Mohave best days entertainment value in NV
I have a bewitched egg that I use to play VP with and I have net over 900k with it.

Sorry to necro post, I saw this thread a few months back and figured I would add my experiences from Laughlin as well.

I also enjoy the low table minimums and laid back atmosphere. I am 27 and usually go with my wife, but this past week we took our 3 year old as well after seeing that the Riverside has a kids day care perfect for his age. Tables are usually $3/5 during the week and weekend. I dont recall seeing anything higher than $5 there ever. Pretty much every casino I saw had 3/4/5x odds as well.

I have stayed and played at most of the places here. I learned craps here, and every time I come I always think of how nice everyone is out here. The dealers are pretty much efficient and friendly wherever you go. I always have a good time. My favorite places for craps are Riverside and the Colorado Belle. Above and beyond nice dealers, and were nicely crowded during our stays. Not so much that it required waiting around to get in, but enough to fill the table comfortably.

The River Palms and Aqaurius seemed like nicer places but the craps scene wasnt too hot at hose places.

Actually, not to be too morbid, but Stinky died a while back.

Didnt want to start a new thread so adding to this one. Heading to Laughlin in 2 weeks and was wondering if anyone has any updates on the Craps games there. Staying at Harrahs, but willing to play elsewhere for 5x odds if available. Seems like the table minimums are usually $5.
