Bullhead City, Arizona is a city in northwest Arizona, on the boarder in fact, very close to Laughlin, NV and not far from Needles, CA. This puts it in a prime location, not only near other cool and interesting cities but also on the Colorado River, south of Lake Mohave, and a day’s drive from the beaches of CA, Las Vegas, and Phoenix. Although the city has a population just over 40,000 it is increasingly becoming a favorite spot for Californians who are either retiring or just looking for a change of pace. There arent many downsides to Bullhead City, but without a doubt the intense heat and strong winds are something to be aware of before heading to this gorgeous city during the summer. 

In this article we will cover the best ways to spend time in Bullhead city, along with Laughlin and surrounding areas. This guide will help you find the best and cheapest ways to spend your time whether you are moving or just taking a vacation. From outdoor adventures to the best places to eat, we will go over the highest rated, and our personal favorites. 

Outdoor

• Colorado River Nature Center

Without a doubt, one of the first things to check out in Bullhead city is the Colorado River Nature Center. This 500 Acre is the perfect place to spend the day: from fishing, to lounging, hiking, boating, or even birdwatching, there is something for everyone at the Nature Center. We highly recommend taking the family or significant others to this place and checking out the trails and local birds, but there is also a wealth of other wildlife species, like coyotes, bobcats, lizards, amphibians, you name it. As far as fishing goes, this is another great activity that can be done at the Colorado River Nature Center and there are many species of fish to be caught, especially striped bass and rainbow trout. 

Be advised that there is no camping aloud at this location, so if that is your thing, there are many other great spots to spend an overnight locally. The same rule applies to open fires, motor vehicles, and dogs must be on a leash.

• Riverwalk

Another beautiful place to spend outside in the area, in this case technically Laughlin, is the Riverwalk, which is a 3 mile paved trail along the Colorado River on the Laughlin side. Unlike the Colorado River Nature Center, this is a paved walkway, so offers an interesting change and different experience. This trail also provides access to the seven resorts and casinos that are on the river, meaning you can enjoy both indoor and outdoor activities as you feel inclined. There is also access to the river and water sports, so if you are feeling a little hot and need to refresh yourself, then snag a jet ski rental or hop on a riverboat cruise. Also, we highly recommend you keep an eye on special events or live music that are often hosted on the Riverwalk, making that place a must-visit spot when vacationing in Bullhead City, or even Laughlin.

• Arizona Veterans Memorial Park

If you’re looking to relax in the outdoors while also paying tribute to our servicemen and women, then the Arizona Veterans Memorial Park is a destination you should definitely check out. This beautiful river front park pays homage to the 3,000 veterans who died in foreign conflicts with bronze plaques, and also has giant bronze eagles, a large stone pyramid, and giant flag poles, all dedicated to honoring these veterans. This is a great place to bring the family to not only remember the fallen, but remember the sacrifices of this nation’s heroes. We highly suggest taking a trip here and wandering the beautiful park grounds and reflecting on how great America, and its veterans are.

A must-visit spot, especially for any car enthusiast is Don Laughlin’s Classic Car Collection, which is a museum that features 80 of the worlds more “distinctive automobiles.” Located at the Riverside Resort, this museum is only $3.00 to enter, or free if you have a King of Clubs Players’ Club Card, which is so cost-effective that you cannot afford to miss it.

Shopping

• Jum-Pawn-It, Bullhead City

What can we say, maybe we are biased, but we truly believe that a pawnshop is always a must stop on any shopping trip, especially when you are visiting from out of town. From great deals on jewelry to hard-to-find electronics, or just unique instruments and collectibles, pawnshops have a bit of everything and are always willing to make a deal. The Bullhead City location is our newest location as well as being clean, bright and open with friendly staff, which is a department from other pawnshops in the area, which still sometimes carry the stigma of being stuff and dark and run by brokers who are just trying to make a quick buck. And of course, pawnshops have the added benefit of being able to get quick cash for anything you have of value. Stop by from 9am to 6pm Monday through Satuday or 9am to 3pm on Sundays to check out jum-Pawn-It’s wide selection of interesting items.

For more information, check out jumpawnit.com/bullhead.

Food

• Mohave Steakhouse

When visiting Bullhead city and looking for a fancy, fine dining experience, Mohave steakhouse is the place to go. This family-owned steakhouse has been in business for over a decade and serves some of the best steak and beef you can find in the area, all which was born and raised in the USA. The best part is that Mohave steakhouse has a beautiful dining room and offers orders to go. So from fancy tomahawk steaks to gorgeous lobster tails, we highly recommend that you stop by Mohave Steakhouse. But wait, not in the mood for something as luxurious as steak and lobster, then stop by for a midday hamburger: we suggest trying the pastrami hamburger for something unique and interesting.

• The River Dog Grill

If fast and casual is more your speed, then we can’t forget about the River Dog Grill. This place’s casual environment is perfect for a quick meal after a day of fun on the water. Serving a wide variety of food, from tacos to seafood, this spot has something that anyone would want to grub down on. When you’re visiting Bullhead City, or even driving through, be sure to stop by the River Dog Grill for a nice sandwich and a beer.

• Samurai Japanese Steakhouse

When visiting Bullhead city you may find that you’re in the mood for something ethnic and unique, in that case, we highly suggest Samurai Japanese Steakhouse. Name aside, this place mostly serves sushi and teppanyaki, but they also have bento boxes and other Japanese inspired foods. This is our pick when we want something fresh, fast, and light, for example, if we plan on a long night full of fun and drinks, or a long day of outdoor adventures. 

• Happy Place Subs

In our book, this is the king of casual fast food in Bullhead City, in our humble opinion. Honestly, every time the Jum-Pawn-It corporate team is in Bullhead City we stop for subs at Happy Place.  You cannot go wrong with any of these delicious subs, but we personally usually go with the Italian OG, the secret sauce is on point. If that doesn’t strike your fancy, then we suggest checking out the daily specials, like Thursday the special is, the toasted gringo, definitely worth trying out when you roll into Bullhead City.

Nightlife and Bars

• Cocktails

Well, this might not be the most unique name for a cocktail bar, but it sure gets to the point.  With a name like Cocktails, you know what you are going to get with this place, but to make it clear as crystals, this is the place in Bullhead City that we suggest you hit up if you want to check out the game or a band. But, like most bars of this style, you know the type, they often have a DJ or karaoke, meaning that almost any day of the week you can pop in for a beer or cocktail and simultaneously get some cheap entertainment. So, if you’re in Bullhead or Laughlin and have a night to kill, want some cheap entertainment, but nothing too extravagant, then definitely check out Cocktails.

Extra Must-See Spots

• Pirate Cove

This is kind of a stretch as Pirates Cove is located in Needles, CA, but it is just around the corner from Bullhead City, and we cannot leave it off this list. But the question has to be asked, what is Pirate Cove, well, it is a little of everything. This gorgeous oasis has both Cabins and RV spots, so it is the perfect place to stay if the Casinos up the road in Laughlin aren’t exactly your speed.

One of the gems of Riverside, this hiking trail is a perfect way to spend a weekend morning or even an weekday evening. The trail at Mt Rubidoux is an easy 3.5 mile loop, making it great for a brisk jog, pushing your kids in strollers, or taking your dog for his daily walk. Most people complete the whole trail in 30 minutes when running and 1 hour when walking briskly, although sometimes it is fun to just walk it slow and steady with friends and family. 

Park at Ryan Bonaminio park and walk to the entrance of the trail up San Andreas Dr. The trail is open from dusk until dawn. Be sure to check out the cross at the top of the mountain.

Entertainment

Fox Theatre

From your favorite band to your favorite comic, the Fox Theatre is the place for you. This theatre was first opened in 1929, and was renovated and reopened in 2010. Not only a gorgeous building, the Fox Theatre, also known as the Fox Performing Arts Center, was the first place to play “Gone With the Wind” in 1939. This is the perfect place for a date night or taking the whole family, depending on what is playing there. 3

The Fox Theatre is located in Downtown Riverside on the corner of Market Street and Mission Inn, not from from the Mission Inn itself. There are ample parking garages around the Fox Theatre to park. We suggest one of the few parking garages in downtown Riverside that are an easy walk away.

To get more information about the Fox Theatre, go to https://venue.riversidepac.com/

Riverside Game Lab

Located between the Fox Theatre and The Food Lab, the Game Lab is a wonderful place to spend an evening or host a party. With arcades, VR rooms, and food, everyone is likely to have a great time here. We recommend getting one of their many styles of hot dogs and getting into a Street Fighter 2 competition personally, but regardless of how you plan to spend your time there, this place is a huge win.

Being in Downtown Riverside next to the Fox Theatre we, again, suggest that you park in a parking structure and walk the short distance to the Riverside Game Lab. 

To get more information about The Riverside Game Lab, go to https://www.riversidegamelab.com/

Shopping

Made

One of Riverside’s more unique shopping locations, Made has “Handcrafted + Custom Furnishings & Uncommon Goods.” In other words, Made is full of amazing things, that you won’t find anywhere else. Located right next to Jum-Pawn-It, this makes for a quick but interesting shopping route through Riverside.  In fact, from Jum-Pawn-It and Made, might as well hit Burnout clothing and Mrs. Darling, which round out to be quite a nice little route. 

Made it open 10am-5pm and has shared parking in the rear with Jum-Pawn-It.

Riverside Plaza

A mecca for shopping, and eating too, the Riverside Plaza is a great place to get everything you need in one place. From retail stores like Nordstrom Rack and GNC to restaurants like El Torito and one of our personal favorites, Wang Cho, this place has it all, even two grocery stores, Vons and Trader Joe’s. After one visit, you can clearly see why their tagline is “Shop. Dine. Play.” We highly suggest bringing the family here for a casual weekday dinner and maybe a stop Cold Stone or Crumbl Cookies for dessert. If that isn’t enough, take the family to a movie at the Regal theater located on the east side of the plaza. 

The Plaza is located near the 91 freeway off of central. There is ample parking in the huge lots surrounding the Plaza, so just make sure you park near your destination.

Jum-Pawn-It

Located near the corner of Central and Magnolia, Jum-Pawn-It has been a part of the Riverside community for 20 years, previously being called Inland Jewelry and Loan. Although we may be slightly biased, we heavily suggest making pawnshops and thrift stores one of your stops when shopping. Most, if not all, pawn shops have a wealth of random and unique items, from jewelry to instruments, to collectables. Jum-Pawn-It has parking in the rear and is open 9:30am to 6:30pm Mon – Sat, and 11am to 4pm Sunday.  To get more information about Jum-Pawn-It, go to http://www.jumpawnit.com/

Food

The Salted Pig

opening on Valentine’s Day 2011, The Salted Pig was the Inland Empires first gastropub. With that, this place has grown its fan base beyond Riverside, becoming a southern California favorite. With some of the cities best food and cocktails, this is the perfect place for celebrations, dates, or just friendly get together. Our favorite things at The Salted Pig are their Roasted Brussel Sprouts or their homemade ketchup. There is also a legend of an old cocktail called the Edna Crabapple that used a very rare and special apple juice in it, thus will never be made the same again. 

The Salted Pig moved to Downtown Riverside in 2020. It is open Weds-Sun until about 10ish. You can park in any downtown parking structure or along the streets.    

To get more information about The Salted Pig go to http://www.thesaltedpig.com/

Antone’s

This Italian food joint may look humble but it packs a major punch. Stepping into Antone’s no frills, what-you-see-is-what-you-get establishment makes things very clear that their reputation is all the food. That is not to say the interior is bad, it is definitely quaint though–not that we thing that is a bad thing. The best thing about this place is that they something for everyone.

Food Lab

Maybe one of the coolest spots to check out food in Riverside is the Food Lab. Talk about something for everyone, that is what this place’s modus operandi is. Literally, a big food court, located in Downtown Riverside, the Food Lab has ramen, vegan options, cocktails, ice cream, coffee, pizza, and much more. Everything at the food lab is amazing, but many employees here bonded over the Fufus, the Lebanese restaurant, since we love shwarma. 

The food lab is open 11am-11pm and has a dedicated parking garage, located downtown next to the Riverside Game Lab and Fox Theatre.

To get more information about The Riverside Food Lab go to https://www.riversidefoodlab.com/

Another Riverside staple, and favorite, Lake Alice is the perfect downtown spot to go for a casual night with good friends.

We also love this place because of its size, with two stories, and ample room, this place never feels too crowded even when it is lively and full. We highly suggest checking this place out and playing a game of pool.

This is another downtown spot, so park in a structure or along the street.
