There is an intriguing story about how the original London Bridge is now in Lake Havasu, 2.5 hours from Las Vegas. Supposedly, it is the second most visited attraction in Arizona.

Anyone here been to Lake Havasu? Is a day trip good enough or should one plan for 2 days or more? Any reviews?

Last time I was there it was scorching hot and there was a huge, trashy party scene on the lake. This was back in like the 90s or early aughts, so YMMV.

Yes, stop by on your way somewhere else.

Seriously, the purchase, transportation and reconstruction of a bridge from London was a really stupid undertaking.

I've been there, it was a slight detour, kind of odd, but kind of cool. Totally out of place, but very kitschy.

You could do worse, if you have already seen the Grand Canyon, Southern Utah, Tonopah, Laughlin, Nelson's Landing, the Chicken Ranch, and everything else within 2 hours of Las Vegas.

Lake Havasu is actually a nice place to stay, rent a houseboat for a couple of days and swim, chill, etc.

Anyway, it ain't the Tower Bridge and I could not say it is THE London Bridge, but it is A bridge and it was in London.

It's a huge party on the river during Spring Break.

I flew over it once when I was taking a puddle jumper to Vegas. It made a stop there at Havasu. Haven't been back to see it since, which I'm content with.

The Casino is very small. When I was there last year, they had one BJ table (10-100).
