A crib is available for traveling families, and free parking is provided on site.

Location & Access
Boulder City Municipal Airport is about 90.5 km away, making a private vehicle the practical way to reach and get around the area. The apartment's riverside position in Bullhead City places it directly across from Laughlin, NV, putting casino resorts within easy reach while keeping the accommodation itself in a quieter residential setting.
Best for
This property suits river-recreation enthusiasts and casino-goers who want to bring their own boats or water toys, thanks to its Colorado River-adjacent location and outdoor pool. It also works well for small families or groups of up to four traveling together for a local event, given the two-bedroom layout, full kitchen, crib availability, and in-unit laundry. Guests seeking a laid-back, self-catering alternative to a Laughlin casino hotel will appreciate the free parking and home-like amenities.
Travel tips
Since the nearest airport (Boulder City Municipal) is over 90 km away, plan on driving or arranging ground transportation for arrival and daily getting around. Bring your own boat or water equipment to take full advantage of the Colorado River, and pack for both pool and river activities given the outdoor pool on site. Consider a short drive across the river to Laughlin, NV for casino entertainment, and book dinner reservations at nearby spots like Chili's or Claim Jumper if visiting during busier weekends.
