Like Las Vegas and Southern California, the gambling destination of Laughlin, Nevada, was hit hard by the novel coronavirus pandemic. Casinos in the Colorado River-adjacent city shuttered for months in the early part of the pandemic and long-term projects that the casinos and other businesses started were put on the back burner.
