About Boulder City

Boulder City is a Nevada city created to house workers building Hoover Dam, and that origin still defines the place. Unlike nearby Las Vegas, it has long kept a more restrained, small-city feel, with historic neighborhoods, dam-related tourism, and access to Lake Mead. The city is also surrounded by a large land area and desert scenery, with energy projects and recreation nearby. Boulder City feels deliberate and unusual: a planned dam town that grew into a residential desert community.
