Casino flights link Arizona town, Nevada

Wednesday, Aug. 15, 2001 | 11:06 a.m.

Laughlin Air will fly nonstop between the Nevada gambling city and Tucson three days a week beginning in mid-September.

The flights actually will end at an airport shared by Laughlin and by Bullhead City on the Arizona side of the Colorado River. One flight each way is planned on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, probably in the afternoon and evening.

"Those are good days for people who want to get away for a weekend," said Air Laughlin spokesman John Hastings.

Arizona Coach Tours already provides a Laughlin package priced below the likely flight fares that includes bus fare, meals and two nights' accommodations.

"I don't think, with our clientele, (Air Laughlin) will affect us at all," said Rebecca Smith, office manager at Arizona Coach Tours.

Air Laughlin itself merely markets and books flights that, in this case, will be provided by Scenic Airlines. That firm already flies Phoenix, Burbank and Long Beach routes.
