Laughlin, Nev. – Edgewater and Colorado Belle Casino Resorts are
introducing an alternative to driving into Laughlin, Nevada, with an all-new air
program featuring six direct charter flights per week beginning May 22. The
program offers flights aboard ExpressJet Airlines from the Ontario International
Airport (now known as LA/Ontario International Airport) into the
Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport at affordable prices. Complete 3-night
or 4-night flight/accommodation packages start at $179 for double occupancy,
with single occupancy rates slightly higher.
“The air program is an exciting travel option for our guests in
the Southern California region,” said Colorado Belle & Edgewater Senior V.
P. and General Manager Jeff Pfeiffer. “Guests can now avoid the drive time and
cost of gas required to drive from California to Laughlin, allowing them to
begin their vacation more quickly and conveniently.”
Flight packages include airfare to and from Laughlin, hotel
accommodations and transportation to and from the airport. Guests may choose
available charter packages which depart the LA/Ontario International Airport on
Sundays, returning on Thursday, or a weekend package that departs on Thursdays,
returning on Sundays. The airport features an exclusive ExpressJet VIP service
counter, so customers can check in directly with the airline before boarding the
comfortable 50-seat plane. During the approximate 45-minute flight, passengers
will enjoy additional benefits of the ExpressJet charter flights, including
custom leather interior with no middle seats and XM Satellite Radio for each
guest. Upon arrival at Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport, complimentary
transportation delivers guests to the Edgewater and Colorado Belle.
As Laughlin’s premier casino resort destinations, it was important
that Edgewater and Colorado Belle partner with a leader in the airline industry
so guests receive the best service possible in the air as well as on the ground,
according to Pfeiffer. “The location and reputation of both ExpressJet Airlines
and the LA/Ontario International Airport are integral elements to the success of
the air program,” he added. “Millions of Californians now have direct access to
weekly charter flights into Laughlin with a top quality airline through one of
California’s fastest airports.” The two resort properties share the airline’s
commitment to quality service. Whether in the air or on property, guests
receive VIP service, and the partnership between Edgewater and Colorado Belle
and ExpressJet Airlines creates a truly unique travel experience for customers.
