Hello, I have been reading all the comments about the lack of reception for Verizon phone towers. I was on vacation in Laughlin NV in July 2011. Before I left, I checked Verizon's website to confirm I would have coverage and it said I would. When I arrived in Laughlin / Bullhead City Area my phone went into extended area (Roaming) and at that time making phone calls were hard but I could send text messages with no problem go figure. I finally had enough and did my own research, I first called Verizon tech support which was really no help to me they told me it should work but it was'nt. I went down to Radio Shack in Bullhead City AZ and asked them why my Verizon phone was not working and this nice employee told me there is only one Verizon repeater located near the Harrahs hotel which makes sense because the closer I got to the Horizon Shopping Mall by Harrah's Casino it switched back to the Verizion network and when I got futher away from the mall it went back to extended network. There is no Verizon towers in Bullhead City. I then asked what towers are in Bullhead and Laughlin and he told me there are AT&T and Sprint towers I hope this helps John

In the Colorado Belle in a north facing room, I got reception on both the LG phone and the modem. In the River Palm, I was in a room on the 19th floor facing the river and AZ. Zero reception on the modem and passable reception on the phone. The problem with the modem was, according to Verizon, I was facing AZ. If I had been facing NV I would have been fine. So I took the pooter down to Denny's on the first floor and sure enough, I was connected. All other travel in the area of Bullhead, Golden Valley, Laughlin, Kingman was on the "extended network" with regard to the phone, but voicemail and texting could be spotty. As commented earlier, a drive up to Henderson was clear as a bell on the phone.

Got voice, but 3G Sucks as well. Was at Riverside Casino, only place I got 3G was on the 24th floor. Weird. But 99% of Laughlin or even Bullhead City, I got no 3G connection.. but on the way to Henderson, in Searchlight - I got awesome 3G connection. Which is in the middle of nowhere. Go figure.

When it was Cingular I had better service. Now I am etremely lucky if I can even get service here. Iwould just like to be able to use my phone on a daily basis, instead of possibly weekly. More bars... . That's a joke

95 miles from las vegas and system sucks
