Why it matters to Southern Nevada
A short drive from the valley
Bullhead City sits about 100 miles south of Las Vegas, across the Colorado River from Laughlin in unincorporated Clark County, the Review-Journal reported. KTNV put the trip at about an hour and a half south of Las Vegas. The city is home to about 44,000 residents, according to the station.

Wednesday's appearance will be his second campaign visit to Bullhead City and his first there in six years, according to KTNV. He previously held a "Make America Great Again" rally at the same airport during his 2020 reelection campaign.
