LAUGHLIN, Nev. – Don Laughlin’s Riverside Resort Hotel & Casino will reopen to the public Thursday, June 4, 2020, at 8 a.m., with a full series of safety measures, solely focused on creating a safe environment for guests and employees while maintaining that Riverside Resort pre-pandemic hospitality and fun.

“During the past two months, the Riverside’s leadership team has worked together in every area of the casino and hotel to develop strategies to safely open and operate during these unprecedented, challenging times,” said Riverside Resort’s COO, Matt Laughlin. “We are proud to be a casino of choice in the southwest area, and are committed to maintaining standards we have set now for over 50 years including using this downtime to completely remodel our Riverside Cinemas 6-Plex movie theater as well as begin our 22 million dollar hotel room and hallway renovation. We will be fully renovating our entire hotel and plan to have this completed by spring 2021, if not sooner.”

The property strongly urges guests not to visit the Riverside Resort if you have a fever, if you are not feeling well or have had contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19. “Stay home and visit us when the time is right for you. We plan on being open for another 50 years,” Matt added with a smile.

Newly implemented protocols are outlined below.
