Boulder City, Nevada

Boulder City offers all the small town charm you can handle. Seriously, you’ll feel like you stepped back in time as many of the buildings were built between the 1930s and 1960s. Plus, it’s only minutes away from the Las Vegas Strip. When you’re not watching movies, there’s boating on Lake Mead, discovering treasures in the many antique shops, bike tours in Bootleg Canyon, dining at one of our unique restaurants, and so much more.
