About Bullhead City

A history of the golden region of Arizona. A literal gold mine was discovered in 1900 until closing in 1942, where over $12 million worth of gold ore was mined. The mines were capable of processing 300 tons of ore into 600 ounces of gold and silver in 24 hours. 

Davis Dam was completed in 1953 two miles upstream of present-day Laughlin and Bullhead City, bringing flood control and power generation to the area. Lake Mojave, the reservoir created by Davis Dam extends 67 miles to the base of Hoover.

Don Laughlin flew over the tri-state area in 1964 in a private plane and liked what he saw. The former owner of the 101 Club in Las Vegas purchased a boarded-up motel and 6.5 acres of riverfront property. In no time, he established the Riverside Resort, offering all-you-can-eat .98¢ chicken dinners, slot machines, two live gaming tables and accommodations in the newly renovated hotel.
