I love the outdoor balconies in the low-rise Mardi Gras tower rooms at the Colorado Belle Hotel-Casino.  Although they’ve seen better days (about a 15 years ago), the fresh morning air of the Colorado River and a fresh cup of coffee in your hand, betrays the fact that in just a few hours, today’s daytime temperature will soar well above 130-degrees.  

So started my second day in Laughlin, Nevada.  

I held off calling Mel’s room because I knew the Vegas Ghost required extended rest after hooking up with a particularly attractive waitress at the end of her slinging-beer-to-non-tipping-locals shift.  I figured that he was a big boy and could find his own way down to the buffet.  Besides, there was no need to rush love or lust, and the tequila-soaked recovery thereafter.

It also meant that I could get in a solo session on the mini-tub over at:

The Edgewater Hotel & Casino

This property is part of the Mandalay Resort Group.  That means its rooms are modest, sparse and sometimes more than a little bit worn out, but if you just want a place to sleep, shower, and fart in peace, then this is as good a place as any.  It also means that you’ll likely find the food choice and quality is limited, unless of course you’ve served more than your fair share of time in the care of a state institution, in which case, you will feel quite at home at The Edgewater.

For a detailed look at this casino and the rest of the Laughlin resorts, I would kindly invite you to see my Laughlin Table Report Part I and Laughlin Table Report Part II.

Their Mini-Tub Table

In addition to their normal-sized layouts, they have one 10-player tub that sees quite a bit of action.  On this particular day, it was set at a 50¢ minimum bet, and capped with a $250 limit.   At other times you can expect either a $1 to $500 range, or a $2 to $1000 limit.

Based on my own records, you should find those limits at the following times:
