Café Aquarius Restaurant Inspection - C Grade, 33 Demerits

Laughlin, NV

***  Update *** 
On 4-6-2018  a reinspection by the Southern Nevada Health District resulted in the restoration of the top grade of an "A" for Cafe Aquarius.  





A Southern Nevada Health District inspection performed on March 19, 2018 
at the Café Aquarius resulted in a "C" grade and 33 Demerits.  

Café Aquarius is located in the Aquarius Casino Resort in Laughlin, Nevada 

*See important information about the inspection process and timeliness of posting of results 




Violations which resulted in the 33 demerits are outlined below.
These are posted on the Southern Nevada Health District website. 




Previous Inspections at Café Aquarius show several B grades with multiple demerits.  The most recent inspection prior to this one was on September 9, 2017, an A grade with just 8 demerits. 



When a Re-inspection is posted this article will be updated.

the Southern Nevada Health District website.    Graphics are from search performed on 3-23-18. 



The other March 2018 restaurant inspections currently posted on the Southern Nevada Health District Website show all other Laughlin restaurants receiving an A grade, including others in the Aquarius Casino Resort  (see below):

*About the inspection process: 
An "A" grade is the top grade an establishment can receive. Demerits over 40 usually result in temporary closure.  Generally if any grade less than an A is received the restaurant can and does have a re-inspection shortly thereafter. There is a short lag time between when the inspections are performed and when they appear on the Southern Nevada Health District Website.  

A restaurant may have been inspected or re-inspected (in the case of a low grade) since the data was posted.  When a re-inspection is done the list of violations/demerits from the prior low grade is no longer view-able. All restaurants are required to have their latest grade certificate displayed for the public to see.  If you don't see one, ask.

You can visit the  SNHD  website or download their App to look up restaurants in Laughlin or anywhere in Southern Nevada. There is a search feature.  For Laughlin use Zipcode 89029.

The followng information was shared on their Official River Regatta Facebook page:

Remember there are only 22,000 tickets available. The last Regatta had over 33,000 people attend, so get your tickets fast!
We are still waiting on the coast guard permit/wavier. If for some reason the Coast Guard denies our permit/wavier and the Regatta is postponed/canceled, we will charge back a full refund for any ticket(s) purchased.
We are hoping to show the coast guard the amount of support for this event by referencing tickets sales. When you purchase your tickets early, you are having a direct impact in bringing the Regatta back!

As of this article the price of $70 per ticket/wristband has been rumored, but not confirmed.

On the Laughlin River Regatta Facebook page they did make this comment:








Watch for further announcements and check their page for ticket information.  The page should have information on it prior to the on sale time on March 26th.  Tickets are also supposed to go on sale at the Edgewater Casino Box office on March 26th.
