A Riverside Update concerning new Covid-19 Restrictions from Matt Laughlin
A second casino, the Bobcat Club, opened in 1967, where the Golden Nugget Laughlin currently operates. In 1968, a third casino, the Monte Carlo, opened its doors. Across the river, Bullhead City, Arizona, sat in the glow of the casino light. Shuttle boats transported customers from the Arizona side of the river to Laughlin's resorts and back. Perched high atop the mountain range across the river, overlooking the Colorado River and the casinos of Laughlin, is the magnificent Laughlin Ranch Golf Club nestled in the Laughlin Ranch community. At this time San Pablo Lytton Casino will remain open Safe, Clean, Fun and Friendly Our team is eager to welcome you to our safe, clean, fun and friendly environment! Our facility will be temporarily non-smoking and alcohol-free at reopening.

We continue our quest to physically space our casino floor with everyone’s favorite machines. We have taken a lot of your comments from a previous post into consideration, and I am happy to say we have added video poker machines to our non-smoking casino floor as well as kept as many “favorite machines” spaced apart and ready for your return.
Newly implemented protocols are outlined below.
