Avi Resort & Casino

Room are nice nothing special. No coffee in room. (Wife not happy) Pool is the best thing. Staff kinda old and cute at same time. …

I’m honestly not too happy with this place. Only here for one night but not even remotely excited to stay here. I first walked in the room and realized that the pillows looked cut in half and you only received two. The bed was completely dirty with black stains all over the sheets. I called to house keeping and no one answered, same for the front desk. I went into the bathroom and there is black shit all over the counter and the sink. Not impressed with the lack of expression in the room either. When I stay at a «resort», regardless of the other commodities offered, I expect to walk into a room that I feel comfortable in. Not scared to stay in.
On the other hand the woman at the front desk was very polite and the casino looked nice.

Avi is easily my favorite casino hotel in the Laughlin area. While it is 20 minutes south of Laughlin and away from the Riverwalk, Avi has some great amenities the others don’t. This is the only resort with a huge, modern updated pool and a massive hot tub to match. Bonus, the pool area is open late too. That alone is a huge thing for my water crazy family. Avi also has the best beach on the river too. Other amenities is the Kids Quest will babysit your kids for you while you have some adult time, or catch an R-​rated movie in their onsite movie theater.
Food options are average in quality but plentiful. Avoid Feathers Café, boring food. Their small food court has a Subway, Panda Express, Sbarro and Thrifty Ice Cream. We cross the river into town a lot for other meal options, plus the gas station out front serves tasty authentic Mexican food.
The overall feel of the hotel and casino isn’t fancy, but it’s updated enough, definitely feels newer and nicer than all of the Laughlin hotels. Rooms are clean and roomy. Small store in the foyer is convenient.
It’s very family friendly. They could use more adult entertainment and live music. But still, I really enjoy the place. It’s a great place to unwind and relax.

Traveling on business, hopes of finding a place to stay the next 8 weeks. I decided to go off the main grid and check out this place because they advertise as a «resort».
My bathroom had hair from previous guest, the vent in the bathroom covered with dirt, Shower Head is very old style, the sheets are hard as a rock with absolutely no thread count and the view from my window is view of dumpster. I’ve included photos.
My room is not a free stay. I paid one of the higher rates for my stay. Positive side of this facility, free internet in room and the people are friendly. If you want to experience children during your stay, this is the place because they also cater to children.
AVI is far from the main events and the experience of Casino drive. If you want basic and strictly here to gamble with a quick place to lay your head then this would be ok but pick the cheapest rate because surely it’s no worse than the «beach tower». So far, i’ve stayed at the Aquarius and Golden Nugget. Aquarius charges for Internet at the price of 11.99 a day which is why I decided against them. Golden Nugget has free Internet and amazing restaurants inside the facility overlooking the river. Today, I’m going to check out Tropicana Express, hopefully I’ll find nice soft sheets and a view of something besides a dumpster. If not, I’m going to stick with Golden Nugget as it seems to be the best value for the price but the Garden View is nothing more than a view of the tops of a Palm Tree.

The Avi was a great stay, I was really pleased! I ate at a lot of the restaurants and fast food places during the stay. One place in particular was Subway, the associates were incredibly friendly, especially Alejandro! Alejandro was awesome with his food suggestions and fun things to do around town since I have never really been here before. He really made my first visit a pleasure for the Avi and Subway as a whole!

When you look at the price performance the AVI casino just can’t be beat. I mean a room for 20 dollars, nice food at reasonable prices, a clean casino, easy parking, I mean really easy, the gigantic room, well I got to say all the things you need are here. She loved the mattress I thought it was a little stiffer than I like, oh well it meets all of our needs and we had a good time. Just a few miles north of 40, and still way south of Laughlin, this is a good stop. We will return

We came out here for NYE with the family. They score a «meh» at best.
Someone’s gonna call me a snob for this, but it’s just not a terribly classy joint in the slightest. The whole place felt like it was geared towards people who don’t get out much. You can sum up the ambiance in two words — low rent.
Once you get here, seeing the parking lot being all torn up and rough, should be an indicator of what you’re in for.
Most of the carpets were dirty and not vacuumed. Actually, I’d say pretty much everything there was pretty dirty. The elevator was slow and made crazy noises when you went down — like it was broken. The staff were largely indifferent to the fact that we were spending money there and all had the personality of a Philips head screwdriver. Front desk staff all acted like we were a burden and did not seem at all happy to see anyone. The cocktail waitresses on the casino floor were rude and slow. Everything seems to be covered in a film of old sweat. Most of the blackjack dealers seemed to have just learned the game yesterday and would fumble cards, make errors in paying out, and sometimes add their own cards wrong. The dealers that did have their act together were often overbearing and annoying (Andrew in particular drove me up a wall).
Nobody seems to care about any of this.
If you’re into «people watching» you’ll have a good time. Nearly every single guest is a bona fide train wreck. But that’s the crowd this place attracts.
If you stay here, just know what this place is. It’s by no means trying to be a «nice» place and is a hotel/​casino for people who want a hotel/​casino but don’t want to deal with the hassle of things that are clean and well-​taken care of.
When we check out of here this morning, I can’t say I’ll be too bummed about seeing this place in my rear view.

Came here for Thanksgiving Day weekend. Not a bad deal at all… River view (which is also pool view, and the pool is a really nice one… too bad it’s like 50 degrees outside!). I booked it so long ago, I don’t remember how much it cost but it was under $ 125 for this great room. Bed was very comfortable. Didn’t hear the neighbors much so the walls seem pretty insulated. Customer service at the front desk was pleasant. We don’t have small kids anymore, but they have a kids quest that looks like a blast! There is also a small movie theater and tiny food court. I’ve been to two of the restaurants at the Avi in the past and they are both good. Played penny slots both nights and had fun… machines are not too tight and not too loose. Constant waitresses going around the slots taking drink orders, which is sometimes a rare thing in the bigger casinos. The only negatives were: one, I had to clean up someone else’s hair in the bathroom when we first arrived… Ick. Otherwise it was clean. And two, the heating system is very loud… one of those under the window, so if you’re a light sleeper, it may bug you some. Oh… Thought of one more negative… if you like watching tv in bed, ask for extra pillows to prop yourself up because it’s a fairly small tv that is on top of drawers that is lower than the bed, so if you are laying on your back watching tv, you have to move your feet to see the screen (and your belly if you have one of those! Haha)

I usually stay here when I have business to attend to in nearby Needles, and I actually like it. The property itself is pretty huge, and their «beach» and pool is actually really nice. The rooms are fairly clean, but if there’s one thing I would change, I would like to suggest a somewhat bigger fitness center. All in all though, i give this place 4 stars, but its particularly because the staff at feathers were so sweet! :)

I really like Avi. I’ve been to Laughlin four times and I stayed here all but one time. I prefer Avi over the other hotel I stayed at. We have jet skis so having a beach/​lagoon to pull in to and have your own sandy beach to chill at is really nice! I LOVE the pool area here at Avi! The other hotel I stayed at had a blah– kind of pool. This pool makes me want to order a few drinks and lay out and enjoy the scenery. I love the palm trees, waterfalls, wading area, the amount of chairs, tables and even the bar is good!
The staff has always been friendly at the customer service counter. There was one security guard who was a stickler about some things yet, the non-​smoking hallways smelled like marijuana… instead of micromanaging how much ice I am using from the ice machine on the first floor, why don’t you take care of the smell? But anyways…
I like gambling but I am not a huge or avid gambler so to me, a casino is just a casino. They all have the same tables and same machines for the most part. I like Avi’s casino and from what I saw, cocktail service was great. They were fast and the drinks were good for being free. Avi can get busy and from what I see, most people seem to enjoy staying here just like me. One thing I did hope for was the other Roulette table to open up but there was only one open from Thursday-​Sunday. It would get crowded and people would hog it and it wasn’t very welcoming.
While Avi gets 2 – 3 stars for cleanliness I feel like some areas are in desperate need of new carpet, its so bad! In one of the hallways I just saw a few bottle caps on the floor. I guess I’m not as mad as the staff as I am at people who are lazy and can’t be a decent human being and not litter in a hotel. Same with the beach. I’ve seen it cleaner before than what it was this past weekend…
I was staying at Avi for three nights/​four days and the ice machine on our floor was out of order the entire time. They may or may not have been proactive about fixing the ice machine, maybe they were waiting for a part to come in, I’m not sure but it was sort of an inconvenience to not have an ice machine on our floor.
Likes: The casino, friendly staff, pool, lagoon, prices.
Suggestions:
–The pool should always have an Adults Only section. The pool can easily be divided into two parts with one being for 18 and over. I thought they used to have it that way but it doesn’t seem to be. I am all for kids having fun and splashing around but some are NOT courteous of the others around them, not in their party, that do NOT want to be splashed. I was shocked at how many kids were consistently splashing and their parents didn’t say anything while everyone is eyeing their children wishing they would stop. So rude. It would be best if the splashers had their own area. This can be enforced by the staff walking around or the guy that checks the bags when entering the pool area.
–Also, its kind of annoying walking down the hall to your non-​smoking room and smelling weed just about every night.
–Replace the carpet.
–Get more than one roulette table open!
–A coffee pot would be nice in all the rooms, not just the suites. As of right now I go down to Feathers in the morning to get coffee.
–The lagoon has gotten a little dirty. I saw plastic bags floating on the beach and empty water bottles lying around. This probably isn’t the hotel’s fault as much as it’s people being lazy…
But other than that, I will most definitely come back to Avi when I come to Laughlin.

We love going to Avi and have been going 2 — 3 times a year for the past 7 years. The property is older but still very nice. They have a great pool and a great beach with a private boat dock (though there is nobody around to stop others from using both).
My biggest complaint is with the hotel staff which seems to start at the top with an older woman named Jackie who I gather is a supervisor there. While standing in the check in line overhearing how rudely she treated other guests, I was hoping to get the more friendly looking lady to her left but no, we got Jackie. She is just downright rude, unpleasant and seems to hate her job and the people that check in to the Avi.
We paid for 2 rooms. One room had 3 people and the other had 1 person.
She charged us an additional 10.00 per night because of the 3^rd person in our room when we paid for 2 people in the other room but only ended up having 1 person stay in it.
Later that night we called to get an extra pillow and blanket and again unfortunately got the rude Jackie again who claimed the hotel did not have an extra pillow and might not have blankets either. Once again she was rude and seemed like we asked for too much.
The buffet is great but some of the server in there also seem to hate their job and the people that stay at the Avi. There was an older black woman at the Flambae station that was so rude and pissy we were afraid to even ask her what we wanted because of the way she was acting. I suppose when you have someone like Jackie as a supervisor who seems to hate the guests the other employees pick up on that as well.
The kids club is great and all the workers there seemed to be very friendly.
Once again we love going to the Avi and will likely return but they would benefit greatly from some new leadership and getting ride of miserable old Jackie. If you read other posts you will see others that were treated just as bad as we were by this woman.

The Avi Resort is a great all around hotel and casino. We love the pool, the restaurants and the movie theater multiplex. The buffet has improved tremendously over the past year and the servers in all the restaurants give great service.
However, we have one pet peeve that they should really work on. When you call the hotel for reservations, you can be left on hold forever, and oftentimes someone hangs up after you’ve waited on hold. It seems crazy there is not someone designated to answer the phones for reservations and/​or if there was an emergency on the grounds. This lack of answering the phones promptly is a problem they need to rectify.
Otherwise I can’t say enough about staying at this resort. It’s a «go to» for us several times a year. We have jet skis and we use the launch ramp, the beach, as well as the pool and hot tub. Great place…

Just a few things to help keep perspective:
Avi Resort & Casino is NOT on the strip. It is actually about 15 – 20 minutes outside of the Laughlin Casino strip within the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation. Just head on down the Casino strip, and when you past Harrah’s at the end, just keep going. There will be lots of open spaces, and you will actually get on the Needles highway before you get to this place.
There are no 5, nor even 4 star hotels in Laughlin. If you’re looking for a place like this, then just head on past to Las Vegas where there are a myriad of phenomenal hotels.
With that perspective in mind, Avi is at the top end of that 3 star scale.
Yes, it has been around for 20 years, but it has better upkeep and the staff is very welcoming and warm.
From the moment we pulled up, and Clive, the Valet, greeted us, to the Front Desk (Jacquelyn?), and even the all night café waitress (Renee) — everyone was just so friendly and helpful.
And for those that come to play on the Colorado River, you are in for a special treat. You have your own private beach that you don’t have to fight with all the other jet skiers and boaters. It’s just right there! No crowds, no fuss. And if you’re tired of the river, the lagoon pool is just a few steps away to cool off.
Yes, there are some items that are in a state of disrepair, like the #5 on the elevator floor selector which happened to be our floor, and the unkempt state of some of the carpeting due to ill-​mannered guests and/​or sand from the beach. These do need some attention.
In comparison to all the other places we have stayed at though, this is a godsend for Laughlin; albeit, that it is a ways drive outside of town.
One added note: We arrived at the resort quite late, and the only restaurant that was open was the all night café. The food wasn’t spectacular; typical diner type. But, Renee, our waitress, was just quite chipper even though it was rather late at night.
One more note: The WiFi here is horrendous. Just use your phone as hot spot (if you can get 3G or 4G LTE depending upon your location in the building).
We expect to return and spend more time enjoying the Colorado River in Laughlin, Nevada.

Cheap prices and weekday deals are great, double queen non smoking room was very spacious and clean, but it stops there and you get what you pay for… not a lot. Overpriced restaurants for the quality of food. Poor customer service skills, whether it was lack of engagement or not being able to get hold of them because they never answered any extensions, I was very disappointed in their service, but never angered or offended by it. Good driving distance from main Laughlin Casino/​restaurant row (25 minute drive). Slow elevators, broken ice machines, dead mouse by one ice machine, small private beach and very small shallow pool (both the beach and the pool photograph well, but that only makes your social media account look good and isn’t necessarily good for your enjoyment while there).

Just got back from this resort. Sand and beach area are good but the rest of the place is not. Rooms are cheap, bed and bathroom area are old and look bad. Tables are ok, employees are terrible. Specially the bosses controlling the tables. They along with front desk act as if they don’t want to be there. The way they talk to you is absurd.
We had 6 rooms (large party) tv’s weren’t working, ac was not working and so on and so forth.
Very disappointed, this was our second time staying there.

Worst customer service ever!!! Don’t go to this crap hole place head up to Laughlin or Lake Havasu. Was going to rent a personal watercraft but the guy that rents/​rides fuels them up is a total A$&.H$&@$…Fire that guy immediately… Going to let everyone I know about the worst service ever!!!
Almost forgot prices for the Yamaha Waverunner were $ 89 an hour at Avi…
Head up to Dave’s in Bullhead city prices are $ 150 a day…

I’ve been coming to the Avid for 9 years and love this place. The rooms are always very clean and stocked nicely. The casino is set up great with tons of machines, great table games along with $ 3 blackjack and single deck blackjack. The feathers café has never disappointed me, their food is great and quick service. Their resort style pool is the best! Especially love the kid pool for the little ones. The Tiki bar at the pool has great chicken fingers and fries and the service is always great. There’s is also a beach down by the river that has nice shaded areas if you would like to hang out in the sand and on the river. A perfect get away from Vegas!

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. This hotel and casino was quite comfie. We came here to have a quiet, relaxing weekend.
The rooms are spacious and clean. They have a nice sized pool area with a grotto, bar, tables with umbrellas and the usual pool side lounge chairs.
I will definitely come back. It was a nice change from the usual busy Las Vegas hotels and casinos. If you sign up to be a member, you can save one dollar off their buffet.
I recommend this place if you want to stay at a place that is low key.

Stayed here a few nights ago and it is just your basic hotel. We just needed a place to crash for the night because we were leaving first thing in the morning so it met our needs. Stayed on first floor in Beach Tower. Room was clean and had all the basics. Bed was very uncomfortable. The indoor smoking makes it very unpleasant inside but I guess you will find that in these types of casino hotels. Didn’t visit the pool this time, but have used it in a previous trip and it’s quite nice and kid friendly.

Well I’ve been coming here since 1995. And a whole lot has changed since then. Even the crowd it attracts has changed a lot as well. But it’s still a good time! You can’t beat the prices and the loading docks are awesome here and free! It’s in a beautiful location and although it’s not a luxurious place like it used to be, it still has a lot to offer. When I first started to vacation here (1995) I saw a lot of older people perhaps retired and the crowd seemed upper middle class, usually suburbs of Socal/​Nevada. Now it’s a mixture of people and that’s awesome. The staff is alright. And very serious. Overall this place is still okay for family fun. It’s not the Amazing Avi it once was. But you can’t beat the prices.

L’hôtel est immense! A première impression, il représente l’endroit idéal où l’américain vient passer son week end et oublier ses soucis!
Casino géant, plage sur le Colorado, piscine extérieur avec SPA, fast food et cinéma! J’oublierai presque le golf, et les indiens autoriser a vendre des pétards ou du tabac a un prix réduit!
Les chambres de l’hôtel super, mais je né peux pas mettre la 5 eme étoile car la piscine a un air de camping et n’est pas hygiénique du tout!
