Are you kidding, the marina cost over 36 million dollar to build and can
accommodate hundreds of boats, a world class restaurant, clubhouse and other
amenities! We get over 6 million visitors a year here in Laughlin, far more
than the Grand Canyon! Just a few weeks ago, Laughlin hosted the largest
biker rally on the west coast, something they have been doing for two
decades. People came in on boats all of time. As a matter of fact, we even
have water taxies!

But Adam, every email you write is littered with politics.
Laughin Marina is about 29 boats, so the fire shouldn't last long.
