KiloKat, if your looking for a house to rent get a hold of me @ 805-896-6886. I have a very nice crib in Havasu that's brand new. 56dx20wx20high door RV garage with a 20x40 garage atached next to it. A large main house, a 1400sq guest house with an observation deck with great veiws of the lake and mountains. Guest house is right off a very nice pool and spa area. It's 5 to 8 minutes from either launch ramp and 5 minutes to the London bridge. I also have a food thing set up with Shagrues, so if you don't feel like leaving for the day or whatever, they will cater for you. I don't rent it out but would be honored to set you up with it. And if John is coming with you I'll really set you up, I owe him a few favors.

Greg

Have a great time and post pictures!!!

Couldn't agree more with Matt (aka Schwanzee)

We usually rent a house too. But having the boat in the water and not having to f*ck around with launching is kind'a nice. Plus the London Bridge has suites that over look the docks/water. Kind'a nice to be on the water. And there's Kokomo's and the martini bar under you.

If you don't end up staying at the Nautical and don't use their private launch ramp (glorified dirt ramp...but works well), def. take Matt's advise and launch at Cattail. The rangers are always nice and accomidating, the ramp is decent and there's usually ample parking. Def. worth the drive. The main marina launch ramp is owned by a bunch of nature nazi mother f*ckers that control the marina like they don't need the business. Windsor is the other ramp and it basically sucks. Shallow in spots and crowded...(hate to see you ding one of those herings, though it wouldn't be the first time someone did!).

While on the water, take a run to the south end of the lake (havasu springs) for a beer. Nice run. Don't forget to see Copper Canyon which is on the west side of the lake as the lake narrows while running south towards havasu springs. There's also steamboat cove (you'll need some help getting there, it's kind've hidden as you pass). And of course don't miss the sandbar! Good times up there. Hit it at the right time and you'll know why it's a cool hangout. You do have to beach in some seriously shallow water, or anchor on the inward side of the sand bar.

Either way, let everyone know when you're going. Maybe some of us can make it out there that weekend. And post some pics!

Here's the sand bar:

I highly doubt he will have any problem getting anything he wants driving around in any one of his boats

Ok my opinion is to stay at the Nautical in the beach suites and tie up at the end of the dock or beach it in the cove. The Nautical has a launch ramp as well, and parking is plenty.

I know you got several opinions, but I've stayed everywhere mentioned, rented houses, and I think the Nautical is the most convienent.

Shugrue's, is an upscale restaurant with surf and turf overlooking the bridge. Martini Bay is a pretty classy bar at the LBR, Kokomo's is for the younger croud, (and crouded is an understatement) also at the LBR. The RedRoom is another loud crouded bar outside the LBR.
There are plenty of other places to eat and go out to, but those are some I would try if you haven't been yet.
