>>Most of the show is outdoors at the palm tree laden Avi Hotel on the
river and
it runs the entire month of January. There are over 22,000 clean hotel
rooms
here in town and most are bargain priced this time of year, some as low as
$29.95 /night. Not bad considering most have a wonderful view of the
Colorado
River, water taxis and all of the free alcohol you can consume 24 hours a
day, 7
days a week if you gamble a little bit. For those who like to gamble, you
can
freely give over your money to the many casinos or better yet, take a
gamble on
odd looking rocks. The Grand Canyon is only a couple of hours away or a
few
minutes away from a major petroglyphs site. The weather is usually
perfect for
meteorite hunting and there is nothing but desert, mountains, the river
and lake
Mojave as far as the eye can see. >>

I've stayed at this hotel 6 years ago when we started a 4 day canoe trip
down the Colorado River. A very nice hotel that served a good early
breakfast before shoving off. From this point, it wasn't long before we were
traveling thru some very nice desert scenery. I only wished I took the time to
photograph what I saw as we went along.
