Typically, Ability Center needs at least one week notice for rentals and the company doesn’t deliver the vehicle – you must pick it up from Ability Center.

HOTELS

In Laughlin, there are many wheelchair accessible hotels to choose from. We stayed at Harrah’s, which was very accessible. Our room had the standard walk in shower, grab rails, and plenty of room to maneuver around in a wheelchair/scooter, or walker. The pool area was wheelchair accessible, but did not have a beach entry, or a lift for assistance.

ACTIVITIES

Gambling: Laughlin offers the gamer the same variety of live table games and video and slot machines that can be found in Las Vegas. While smaller in scale, Laughlin casinos offer the advantage of lower stake games than Vegas strip casinos, allowing your money to go farther! Each casino features one or more accessible tables, which are lower than standard tables, allowing the wheelchair or scooter dependent player a better view of the game.

River Walk: The Laughlin River Walk meanders along the Colorado River and passes by and through several casinos. The entire River Walk is not wheelchair accessible, but parts are – it is enjoyable, but be prepared to turn back and find alternate routes.
