October 2023

BULLHEAD CITY  ̶ The Mohave County Airport Authority (MCAA), the City of Bullhead City, and the Laughlin Tourism Commission (LTC) are happy to announce the Laughlin Bullhead Airshow (LBAS) will be returning to the blue skies over the Mojave Desert. The 2024 event promises to be a bigger, better airshow featuring historic military and civilian aircraft, aerial demonstrations, and more.  
The airshow will take flight Saturday, April 6, 2024, and will be free to attend. The Laughlin-Bullhead Airshow will continue to showcase military and civilian aircraft, honoring the history of aviation and paying respect to those who have sacrificed and served our country. 
The City of Bullhead City, the Laughlin Tourism Commission, and Las Vegas Events will partner again to fund the LBAS. Additional funds will be raised through grants, sponsorships, VIP Seating, and vendor booth fees. MCAA, Bullhead City, and LTC will work together to promote and manage the airshow. 
LBAS will once again be under the guiding eye of airshow veteran Kevin Walsh, Nellis Air Force Base, and Aviation Nation airshow partners. Kevin was the consultant who coordinated the inaugural 2023 Laughlin Bullhead Airshow. Walsh has continually demonstrated his commitment to professionalism, sustainability, and improved entertainment in the larger North American air show community. With this partnership, LBAS aims to build onto its inaugural event by safeguarding, promoting, and improving the entire air show event with an overall goal of a safe, economically enhancing community highlight event.  
Laughlin Bullhead Airshow offers pilots and spectators from across the country an opportunity to experience the fresh desert air, stunning mountain and river landscapes, and access to relaxation and recreation opportunities. Situated just 90 miles from Las Vegas, NV, 225 miles from Phoenix, AZ, and 283 miles from Los Angeles, CA, the sister cities offer visitors more than 11,000 hotel rooms, over 600 vacation rentals, and endless options for entertainment whether it’s shows and events, participating in desert and water recreation, playing on championship golf courses, spas, and partaking in some unique fine dining. 
Corporate partnership opportunities are available for organizations seeking upscale hospitality options, branding opportunities, and on-site exposure. For more information, visit LaughlinBullheadAirshow.com. 
 

NPS phases out ‘Trailer Village’ at Cottonwood Cove

The National Park Service (NPS) has set into motion a plan that will see the gradual phasing out of a longstanding trailer park on the shores of Lake Mohave. The Trailer Village at Cottonwood Cove, which has been a fixture in the area since the early 1970s, is set to be completely phased out by 2043. The decision was made as part of a new lease agreement between the NPS and Lake Mead Mohave Adventures— a company that oversees the majority of commercial operations within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
