Most buildings in Swansea were built of either cement or adobe. Some, like these remains, may have combined the two compounds.
Where To Stay?
With ten casino hotels in town - nine of them on the western bank of the Colorado River - you'll have no trouble finding a room, a restaurant, or a game. If you tow your vehicle with an RV, Riverside Casino owns a huge campground just across Casino Drive from the hotel, or you can dry-camp in any of the casinos' parking lots.
Beyond Laughlin
We've just given you a taste of the off-roading available in the tristate area. There are uncountable more trails within a hundred miles of Laughlin and many more ghost towns to visit, but we haven't the space here to list them. In addition to the Cerbat and Swansea roads, you'll find many trails more difficult. For some books on the subject, try 4-Wheel Drive Roads of Mohave County, 4-Wheel Drive Roads of Yavapai County, Arizona Ghost Towns and Mining Camps, Backcountry Adventures Arizona, and Ghost Towns of Arizona. These books are available at Hastings Book Store in Bullhead City, Arizona.

We believe this was once the largest hotel in town because it was a multistory building. |
