History
It was opened on August 29, 1988 with the 15-story South Tower and the 18-story Central Tower making up the hotel. In 1992, construction of the 20-story North Tower was completed. The South Tower operates as an adult-only facility and the North and Central Towers serve as family towers of the hotel.
Harrah's Laughlin was the site of the River Run riot, a fight between the Hells Angels and the Mongols during the annual Laughlin River Run. 3 people were killed during the fighting.
In July 2020, Eldorado Resorts acquired Caesars Entertainment, taking over operations of the property.[2] In connection with that acquisition, Vici Properties bought the real estate of Harrah's Laughlin for $435 million and leased it back to Eldorado (newly renamed as Caesars Entertainment).[3][4]
