LAKE HAVASU CITY, Az -- When spring break comes to Lake Havasu City, Ariz., in March and April, there will be drinking, subwoofers blaring loud music, and scantily-clad college students -- male and female -- ready to party hearty. What do city officials, restaurateurs and hoteliers in this town of 55,000 say about all this?
"Welcome."
For as far back as the early 1970s, this lakeside western Arizona oasis, home to the iconic London Bridge, has hosted an estimated 1 million students from U.S. and Canadian colleges on their spring break.
