LAUGHLIN – Assessor Briana Johnson will explain the latest current figures of Clark County’s property tax system – including caps on increases -- as it affects Laughlin businesses and residences during an upcoming Laughlin Leadership Forum sponsored by the Laughlin Economic Development Corporation.

This will include the 3% and 8% caps imposed by the Legislature. It also will include exemptions for surviving spouses, veterans (including disabled veterans), and blind persons.

Her PowerPoint program will show the county-wide and local Laughlin figures for property and improvements in both the residential category and the Casino Drive resorts, plus overall county-wide numbers. The charts and graphs will go back to the 2005-2006 fiscal year.

The public is invited to the free presentation at 5 P.M. (PST) on Thursday, March 26, at the Spirit Mountain Activity Center in Mountain View Park on the Needles Highway in Upper Laughlin.

“Our vision statement is to be the most technologically advanced, user-friendly, Assessor’s Office in the country,” Johnson said on the Clark County website page for her elected office (clarkcountynv.gov/assessor).

She will cover all the duties of the elected office – “What the assessor does, and doesn’t do,” she said.

Johnson was elected on November 6, 2018. Prior to that she was the chief assistant to Michele Shafe. Johnson has served the public for more than 20 years in the Assessor's Office. She started in 1995 and held various positions in the Appraisal Division, including Manager of Property Appraisal, prior to being promoted to Assistant Director of Assessment Services in 2016.

She is a Clark County native who graduated from high school in the Vegas Valley and earned her degree at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.

Beyond Casino Drive - Jackpot Joanie's

Laughlin, Nevada

Laughlin Buzz

If you venture off Casino Drive, Jackpot Joanie's is just one of the "Local" Gaming Taverns you can visit.

There are about 15 machines on a bartop, plus chairs and tables around it. Food is served featuring a small, inexpensive menu with standard bar type food available.

The person working was very friendly (we were pretty sure her name may have been Joanie), offered us a menu and drink right away. We didn't try the food this time.

Jackpot Joanie's has a whiteboard listing recent Jackpots. Unfortunately, we were not one of them, but we played for a couple hours and took out a profit.

Jackpot Joanie's is located in the Laughlin Town Center Plaza complex on Needles Hwy in Laughlin. The place definitely has a locals feel to it. If you looking for something new, give them a try.

Jackpot Joanie's did pick up the Bronze award in the recent

Daniel's at the Laughlin Outlet Center - Review

DANIEL’S AT LAUGHLIN OUTLET CENTER.

From the day that place opened in the mall food court, we find ourselves eating there at least every other week or depending on our schedule, we eat there two-three times a week.

We have had his hamburgers. (Wednesdays it’s 2 for 1--- no casino or anyone in BHC can surpass his burgers,). The chili cheese dogs, Mexican bowls, burritos, the list goes on. This place is absolutely amazing. Not ONLY is the food AND QUANTITY there beyond belief, Daniel the owner? ALWAYS so pleasant, ALWAYS a smile when he greets you.

This morning we were craving something SMALL to eat. He was not even open yet, however, I went over there and asked him IF by chance if he would make us a breakfast burrito? It is NOT on the menu, however, we figured what the heck, ask, all he can say is no!!! He asked if we were in a hurry, well yeah, however, if it wasn’t going to be an hr. we would wait. What would you like in the burrito? “We don’t know, eggs, potatoes, bacon is fine and whatever else you want to put in the burrito we said. Well…………. we only had to wait 15 min. and we still can not figure out all that he had in that burrito besides the eggs, bacon, and potatoes. It was STUFFED!!! It was delicious!!!! The darn thing had to weigh a pound!!!!! Seriously!!! The bottom line here is: He went above and beyond to accommodate a customer!!! He did NOT have breakfast burritos on his menu!! He could have told us to take a hike!!! I am NOT OPEN & I DO NOT SELL BREAKFAST BURRITOS!!!

IF you have NOT TRIED DANIELS AT THE OUTLET CENTER FOOD COURT, you are missing out. His prices are very reasonable and he does have SPECIALS during the week. What we also like about eating at Daniels is how clean and neat looking his place is and HE WEARS GLOVES WHEN HE PREPARES YOUR FOOD!!!
