    Colorado River Regatta in Laughlin -- anyone heard of this?!

    I was going to pass through Laughlin on the way back from some secret locations, and I figured I would stop there.

    I haven't been to Laughlin in 10 years, and figured it would be interesting to stop by.

    For those of you that don't know, Laughlin is kinda the "poor man's Vegas with a river", and is FAR quieter, cheaper, and more laid back than Vegas.

    So I went to go book a hotel, and I found almost everything was sold out for the weekend of August 10-12.



    The one hotel that wasn't sold out, The Aquarius, was like $200/night and only had 3 rooms left. This is a mediocre property that normally goes for like $45/night.

    No fucking way I am paying $200 to stay in Laughlin, so I aborted and decided to go somewhere else.

    Here is the reason Laughlin will be so jammed next weekend:





    Yes, it's the Colorado River Regatta (also known as the Bullhead City Regatta):

    Is this thing really so popular and interesting to where people pay $200/night to stay at mediocre Laughlin hotels?

    Also, I don't want to sound like a snob here, but seriously look at that crowd and tell me if you could see them paying $200/night.

    Something isn't adding up here.

    Pretty ridiculous picture to try & observe if these people have money. Everyone at a beach normally looks like a bum. That's actually part of the appeal of going there, to be able to dress comfortably.

    I think it adds up perfectly.
