This is a great hotel for the money. I stayed 5 nights and plan to go back this December with my 5 year old. The property is well upkept and large. The pools are heated and kept very clean. There is a movie theater right in the casino as well as a Kid Quest. You can drop your child off to play, there are tunnels and video games, etc. You only pay a low hourly rate. It only takes about 10 minutes to get to the main part of laughlin. Although, there is not much reason to leave the Avi. You are right on the lake and during the summer you can rent water vehicles.

Stayed here for 3 nights in october, it was over a weekend so very busy with lots of kids.
Our room was on the 6th floor, one of the newer rooms, a lovely spacious room, although a bit basic, it had a spectacular view overlooking the pool and the river, but beware of a higher floor the lifts are so slow, but worth it once you reach your floor.
The front desk staff are very obliging, and also the casino staff, but did'nt like the casino but maybe thats because I did'nt have any luck at the slots.
The rates are very good, even at weekends, but so are all the laughlin hotels.
Ate at feathers cafe only average food but very cheap, also had a seafood special at harvest grill that was horrible all fried in batter, good job it was cheap, so you did'nt mind leaving all of it.
We used to drive into centre of laughlin each night because we liked the casino's there.
We did love the swimming pool area, and the pool & spa was very nice, but I DON'T THINK i would return to this hotel prefer the centre of laughlin where there is more to do.

The Avi Resort is fine. It is not near the other Laughlin casinos but we knew that going. We live in the northern los angeles area so when we found out that the weather was supposed to be in the 90's on October 20th so we did a spur-of-the-moment trip and brought our jetski. On Friday afternoon we zoomed down highway 40. It is funny how after a few hours on the freeway the closer you get to a destination the faster you speed. This happens to us going to Vegas too. We were so lucky not to get a speeding ticket but we did get yelled at on loud speaker by a highway patrol to slow it down hauling our trailer. My husband is so lucky....guess we would be lucky at the Avi, I hoped.

Room was fine. We received the cheap non-view room which was okay near the elevators in the South Tower. The room was clean and all amendities seem to be there. The safe was nice to have. The location of our room worked out perfect because we were closest to the parking lot where you are allowed to park your tow vehicle. So if you are towing a boat or anything, best to get South Tower.

During our stay all the staff that we encountered were very friendly and were quick to answer any questions we had especially since we had not been there before.

The only off problems I had was in the cafe, service was a little slow and the wait staff didn't seem to be very motivated. One thing that did leave a $600 bad taste in my mouth was breakfast on Saturday morning, the keno runner was no where to be found so we took our tickets to the keno booth next to the cafe and the person working there disappeared as well. So we were unable to get our ticket which turned out to be a 5 out of 5 winner ($1.00 bet). I should of won $600! The keno runner finally showed up at our table only to tell us that she was in the back getting halloween decorations with the other keno worker. Nice, huh?!? I'm still burning over that as I have never hit all numbers playing keno before. Okay, so that afternoon I did hit $300 plus on the dollar slots so did okay enough to go home happy. My husband keeps reminding me that at least it wasn't millions of dollars lotto ticket. Guess that makes me feel better.

So all in all the Avi is fine especially for a quick weekend trip and you are a boat/jet ski person. Also they have a nice RV park across the street. The water in the river is getting low now though so next summer we will be back to jet ski.

My sister and I stayed at the Avi for an extended weekend earlier this month. We found the property very nice, the food excellent, and the amenties terrific. The people were very nice as well - from the front desk to the dealers and the wait staff. The casino is a little smaller than most of the others in Laughlin and we found it more smoky - but we expect that when we go to a casino - unlike some other commentors. We would suggest that they expand their non-smoking area quite a bit from their current tiny 20 or so machines. The beach and pool are wonderful, the buffet and restaurants all terrific. Having the food court with Panda Express, Subway and Pizza, along with the theatre was great too. The view from the Harvest Buffet is really pretty. We appreciated the free inroom safe too. We enjoyed our stay very much.
