Laughlin NV Area Fishing Report - 11-29-17




Laughlin, Nevada


Southern Nevada Fishing Report -  November 29, 2017
Source:  Nev. Dept. of Wildlife



Laughlin
Anglers found good trout fishing on the river over the holiday weekend. While PowerBait seems to produce the most bites, small Rooster Tails and other spinners are worth a shot when the bite slows. Fishing has been good below the dam and along Casino Row. Work eddies and the seams where fast and slow water come together. Striped bass fishing has been a little slow, but be patient. Fish are out there. One angler reportedly weighed in a striper pushing beyond the 8-pound mark. He caught the fish while throwing a pencil from shore along Casino Row.

Lake Mohave
Striper action continues to improve as the weather cools. Anchovies and lures are both catching the fish. Swimbaits have been effective just after sunrise and around sunset. Anglers have found black bass while working coves late in the morning.

Lake Mead
The best striper action is taking place in the morning when the fish are actively feeding on shad. Live shad, anchovies, shad imitations and swimbaits will catch the fish. Black bass have been biting on plastic worms later in the day. Catfish are taking anchovies in the coves of Las Vegas Bay. Changes in weather will bring some variations in fishing activity.

Prime Rib at Daniel's Restaurant, Laughlin Nevada

Laughlin, NV 

Daniel's Restaurant
Regency Casino 

 


 Daniel's Restaurant offers a Prime Rib Special, served Thursday-Sunday (after 4pm, based on availability).   One Saturday evening we stopped in for a late dinner and decided to give it a try.  





The Prime Rib exceeded all expectations.  It was roasted and seasoned perfectly and came with a baked potato, green beans, dinner rolls and a side salad.  All for $17.99 for the regular cut.  The much larger King Cut is $23.99. 

 No slight intended to the 2017 Best of Laughlin Prime Rib category winner, the Prime Rib Room-- but we believe the one at the Regency was much better!   For about the same price.

We also ordered the Buffalo Wings to try them.  It's always nice to see if there are some other places where good wings can be found in Laughlin.  Daniel's wings were very good, nice and crisp and full of flavor.   We ended up taking most of them in a to go box because we knew the Prime Rib would be a huge meal.

In spite of the dining room being nearly full, and it looking like they could use more staff, the service was really good, attentive, and friendly.  


Regency Casino - Daniel's Restaurant  



Daniel's Restaurant is located in the small, locally owned Regency Casino.  They are located between the Aquarius and Edgewater properties.  

Daniel's also won Best Burger (for the 3rd consecutive year), Best Café/Diner, and Best Cheap Eats in the 2017 Best of Laughlin Awards





For the quality, taste, and price, the Prime Rib at Daniel's might just be one of our new favorites.   We will definitely be back again.
