About Colorado Belle Hotel & Casino

Colorado Belle Hotel & Casino is a hotel-casino at 2100 South Casino Drive in Laughlin, Nevada, operated by Golden Entertainment. The property opened in 1980 and holds a gaming license from the Nevada Gaming Control Board. The minimum gambling age is 21.

Colorado Belle is immediately recognizable on the Laughlin Casino Drive corridor for its replica Mississippi paddlewheel steamboat exterior — the hotel tower and casino are built to resemble a 19th-century Mississippi River riverboat, complete with a simulated paddlewheel at the stern. This design theme makes it one of the most architecturally distinctive casino properties in Nevada; no other commercial casino in the state replicates the paddlewheel format at Colorado Belle’s scale. The simulated riverboat sits on the Nevada bank of the Colorado River, where it has been part of the Casino Drive skyline since 1980.

Golden Entertainment operates Colorado Belle as part of its Laughlin portfolio, which also includes the adjacent Edgewater Hotel and Casino. The Casino Drive strip runs along the Nevada side of the Colorado River, directly across from Bullhead City, Arizona — giving the Laughlin corridor a bi-state visitor base from southern Nevada, western Arizona, and the Inland Empire of Southern California. Laughlin is approximately 90 miles south of Las Vegas via US-95, near Historic Route 66. For travelers evaluating Laughlin casino hotels, Colorado Belle’s paddlewheel design and Colorado Riverfront position make it one of the corridor’s signature visual landmarks.

Gaming Floor

Colorado Belle carries approximately 400 gaming machines alongside a 16-table game section — a compact floor appropriate for the Laughlin market’s smaller-scale resort properties. The machine bank covers standard reel slots and Video Poker denominations alongside Electronic Keno and continuous-draw Keno terminals.

Table games include Blackjack, Craps, American Roulette, Fortune Pai Gow Poker, 3 Card Poker, and Let It Ride — the standard Nevada regional casino table menu. Fortune Pai Gow Poker adds a progressive fortune bonus side bet. American Roulette is listed specifically (as distinct from European single-zero Roulette), confirming the standard double-zero Las Vegas format.

For Nevada casino visitors making the Laughlin circuit, Colorado Belle’s compact floor is best suited to slot players and those who want a few hands of Blackjack or Craps in the distinctive steamboat setting, rather than visitors seeking high-volume table play.

Poker Program

Colorado Belle’s poker program lists five distinct variants: 7 Card Poker, NL Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, and periodic Tournaments. This is an unusually broad variant list for a 400-machine Laughlin property. The Omaha Hi-Lo offering — a split-pot game with distinct strategic demands from standard Omaha — is particularly uncommon in the Laughlin corridor.

The combination of Stud-format (7 Card Poker), community-card (Hold’em, Omaha), and Hi-Lo games in a single poker room gives experienced multi-game players a venue that is rare for the Laughlin market. Confirm current game availability, stakes, and tournament dates at coloradobelle.com — the poker program at smaller properties can change based on player demand.

Hotel and Amenities

Colorado Belle is a hotel-casino with on-site accommodations in the paddlewheel steamboat structure. Confirmed amenities include a restaurant, self-parking, and valet service. The resort designation reflects the hotel-casino combination on the Laughlin river corridor. Room availability and current rates should be confirmed at coloradobelle.com.

Colorado Belle — a replica Mississippi steamboat on the Colorado River with five poker variants and a 40-year history in Laughlin

Colorado Belle Hotel & Casino opened in 1980 and remains one of the most visually distinctive casino properties in Nevada — a full-scale replica Mississippi paddlewheel riverboat sitting on the Colorado River at Casino Drive. Golden Entertainment operates it alongside the adjacent Edgewater Hotel. The 400-machine, 16-table floor is compact, but the poker program (NL Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, 7 Card Poker, Tournaments) is unusually varied for the Laughlin market. The hotel and restaurant make it a viable overnight Laughlin base. Verify current hours, poker schedules, and room availability at coloradobelle.com before your visit.
