Mesquite or Laughlin? Or Pahrump

[shadroch]

I'll be in Vegas with most of my team next week. I want to do a oneday trip out of Vegas.Perhaps to Laughlin,Mesquite or Pahrump. Laughlin I'm very familiar with,never been to the others.
My parameters- Be able to get there and back in under four hours,spend some time sightseeing and an hour or two of BJ. BJ is not the priority of the day however.
I'm curious about the ride from Vegas to Mesquite and Pahrump,the towns themselves and the gaming,in that order. Any help,thoughts,whatever appreciated.

Mesquite probably isn't worth visiting, Pahrump has a few playable games. Laughlin has some deeply dealt shoe games but with poor rules (no DAS).

I don't know what the composition of your team is, but the Pahrump area has a couple of other state-licensed establishments that aren't casinos, if you know what I mean. So that might be the best destination for a mix of BJ and other activities.

I just got home from a 4 day trip to Laughlin. I found very nice double deck games at Harrahs ($15 min) and Aquarius ($5 min). I really enjoy Laughlin. It is my favorite place to play. It sure beats the 8 deck shoes at Atlantic City!!

I ended up in Laughlin. Played mostly at the Pioneer and Tropicana.I didn't like the No DAS,but it would have come up once in two days.The New Trop is offering a very nice signup package for new members.

The Belle in Laughlin had DD pitch with all the good rules when I was there in August. They had one table with a $10 min. This was early in the day and early in the week. It was gone by Thursday. Every casino in Laughlin had DD pitch for $15 or $25. Most with good rules. ALL the casinos have 6 & 8 deck with good rules for $5 min. Some even had $3 early in the week!
