BOULDER CITY
SMALL TOWN
BOULDER CITY IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF THRILL, 30 MINUTES FROM LAS VEGAS.
Just beyond the glitz and glam is Boulder City, the town that built Hoover Dam. It doesn’t take long to feel its thrill-seeking spirit and welcoming charm. But it may take a while to see all of the recreational and outdoor activities. There are so many ways to explore, whether it be by land, water or air. If you’re passing through, or staying a while, welcome.
