I wanna do Mohave from Cottonwood the weekend of July 10th. I want to stay in searchlight. What is good? One of the Casinos, which one? I know there's only 2 or so, right? I'm too big of a pansy to camp in mid July.

The casino on the corner, where you turn to go to Cottonwood, is just a Cafe and Casino, no Hotel that I know of.
IMO, your best bet is to stay in Laughlin, or maybe Stateline.

The El Rey Motel just south of the road to Cottonwood right on Hwy 95. Rooms are cheap, about $50/night.
The place was probably built in 1960 and has not been updated since. There are'nt too many options in Searchlight, so you take what you can get.

Prim to Searchlight is 42 miles, add another 15 to Cottonwood....so 57 miles. ;)
Be aware, there's a STEEP hill, between 15 and Searchlight. Uphill going towards Searchlight.

they only have 24 rooms, and they book up WAY in advance. It's worth a shot (may have been a cancelation 2 minutes before you call), but they'll probably just laugh. ;)
In January I booked a room for March, and got the last room left for that weekend!

If it was just me and the wife I would camp. But even at 16 my kid can whine with the best of them. 2 more years baby!

friends have a 15-yr old that comes along sometimes....
I feel your pain there. She's over the top....
1 hour drive from henderson to the willow launch ramp including the stop at the hoover dam where the cops want to look through your truck and boat.
