The London Bridge Resort has been a main attraction in Lake Havasu City since it opened in 1984. The Resort has amenities for every age group, so it has maintained its popularity. For the last 7 years, Joelle Dickinson, a remarkable woman in town, has been a part of the Resort’s popularity thanks to her contributions as Director of Fun.

Joelle’s Background

Joelle Dickinson is the Director of Fun at the London Bridge Resort and has worked with them since she started at the front desk 10 years ago. Joelle is no stranger to the hospitality industry as she has been a waitress, an employee at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, and a residence hall director at Lincoln College, where she obtained her bachelor’s degree.

On top of that, Joelle values family time. Married for 7 years, she and her husband have a daughter, Aubrey, and a Golden Doodle, Ellie. Beyond work, Joelle is the President of the Hospitality Association and Chairwoman of the Board for CFEL. She enjoys volunteering at events like Desert Bash and Winter Fest, contributing to the community.

Director of Fun

In her current position as the Director of Fun, Joelle enjoys interacting with the guests she meets at the Resort. “I love interacting with different types of people and providing a fun atmosphere for them. We see different guests every week, so I enjoy providing our activity schedule to them.” Currently, the Resort has Canvas and Cocktails on Tuesdays and her favorite activity, Afternoon Tea on Wednesdays. Both events are open to the public. The Resort also does a seasonal Oatman Bus Tour from September to March on Tuesdays at 10am, open to the public.

The activity schedule varies by week, but in the summer, events are geared toward kids with activities like glitter tattoos, hair tinsel, movie nights at the pool, and bingo by the pool. In the winter, they have activities like wood burning, wine glass etching, string art, and ceramic tiles.

What’s Next for Joelle?

With the holiday season coming up, the London Bridge Resort has a particularly exciting event approaching as the sponsor and producer of Lake Havasu City’s Festival of Lights. Opening night for the Festival of Lights is November 24th, and the Resort’s 12 Days of Christmas at The Backyard at Kokomo takes place from November 29th to December 22nd. The event is open to the public and occurs on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 5-8 pm. At the 12 Days of Christmas event, you can expect to see Mr. and Mrs. Santa Clause, letters to Santa, the ice-skating rink, and special vendors.
