Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Bureau - Laughlin, NV

Nestled on the Colorado River just across the Arizona border, Laughlin, NV, is a charmingly offbeat alternative to the glitz of Las Vegas. Known for its retro vibe, riverboats, casinos, and laid-back atmosphere, Laughlin offers a campy, nostalgic escape for those seeking a night of food, gambling, and fun without the hustle of Vegas.

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Bureau sought to capture Laughlin’s unique appeal with the campaign: “Laughlin – You either get it, or you don’t.” As Director of Photography, I helped bring this vision to life over four days of shooting across 10 locations, from casinos and restaurants to iconic riverboats.

The final piece aired on local television, inviting viewers to experience the charm of this kitschy resort town just an hour south of Las Vegas—a place where the past meets the present in the quirkiest way possible.
