Sassy Sue's Saloon - Laughlin

This was the second hotel I stayed at during this visit and after my Tropicana experience, The Pioneer is the only place I'll stay at while visiting Laughlin. It was cheaper, closer to everything, cleaner, more up to date, and just an overall better experience.

Stayed here 4 years ago and it was pretty good, cheap and no charge for the dog, so this year we booked online for $49 a night. The hotel said it was pet-friendly on the web site and no where on the site could I find a pet cleaning fee of $75. Checked in and told about the fee, which I thought at first was refundable if your dog didn’t make a mess, but after all paid up, was told it’s non-refundable. Also no fridge, microwave, coffee maker or hair dryer in the room. No free coffee in reception either. Very limited cable channels (maybe a dozen). Exterior of the hotel and Casino is very run down. Also you can’t get to the full river walk without leaving the property via the front parking lot and then walking through the Edgewater Casino. On the positive it was clean. Never will we stay here again!

Originally I would of said a great stay but when you have homeless and meth addicts being put up in rooms next to us and bothering us on the pool deck, disrespectful of others by smoking in non smoking pool area, wearing full jeans in the hot tub because he has no suit. Encountered 3 men at least that were breaking rules and making us feel uncomfortable and other guests as well we’re not happy and left as well. So sad was a nice place to go now not feeling too good about the stay. Paid for a relaxing vacation and not to worry about some user bugging me saying he’s trying to pick up a sugar MoMA the other night at the bar and thinks it’s ok, telling us how he failed drugs testing for Harrahs as his roommate uses meth not him but was in the same room so that’s why he failed. OMG REALLY!!! Pioneer please remove people who don’t respect other visitors and follow the rules.

Location is good but the staff will do a lot of tricks to get as much money as they could, my reservation was mistakenly started at 10 March instead of the actual time of arrival at 12 for 3 nights, they refused even to credit the night of the 12 so when I had to pay a full amount again because they refused to refund any money beside adding an additional $75 for an extra dog and an extra $75 deposit though I had a damage insurance was ending that I had to pay around $800 for 3 nights and their manager didn’t even Shaw any concern, for sure will never recomend that hotel to anyone or come back again, beautiful location but very unfriendly staff

65 degrees. Perfect time for February. Super people here and the rooms by the Colirado River are very nice. Ate at Bumbleberry Flats. Rib Eye was perfect medium rare. Shrimp Alfredo melts in the mouth.
