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.{{cite news|title=Eldorado finishes $17.3B buyout of Caesars Entertainment|work=Associated Press|author=Ken Ritter|date=July 20, 2020|url=https://apnews.com/6b0eef6b9309f14d96af1f16355c1901|access-date=2020-07-20}} 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).{{cite press release|title=Vici Properties Inc. completes property acquisitions and lease modifications related to the Eldorado-Caesars merger|publisher=Vici Properties|date=July 20, 2020|url=https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200720005761/en/VICI-Properties-Completes-Property-Acquisitions-Lease-Modifications|via=BusinessWire}}{{cite report|title=Form 10-K: Annual Report|publisher=Vici Properties|page=56|date=February 20, 2020|url=https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1705696/000170569620000048/vici2019form10-k.htm|via=EDGAR}}
