Things to See and Do

Boulder City Historic District

Boulder City was built to house Hoover Dam’s workers and their families. From its inception, gaming was not allowed, and it remains a non-gaming town to this day. The historic downtown area, built in the 1930s, is full of shops, businesses, and restaurants. Large parks offer visitors and residents plenty of places to relax and enjoy a picnic or a walk. This is a great place to stroll and explore  (read more)

Boulder City/Hoover Dam Museum

In the midst of the Great Depression, thousands of unemployed men were drawn to the Mojave Desert in the hopes of obtaining work in Black Canyon, where Boulder Dam was under construction. At first, these men–along with women and children–lived in tents near modern-day Boulder City, where summer temperatures hit triple digits. In 1931, Boulder City was built to house the dam workers. The museum h… (read more)

Hemenway Valley Park

Hemenway Valley Park, located on the outskirts of Boulder City, may seem like an unusual tourist attraction. It’s a lovely park, but it’s not the park that draws both locals and visitors: it’s the herd of Desert Bighorn Sheep that frequent its grassy fields. Boulder City has gradually grown up around Hemenway Valley Park, but the Bighorns have been here for years. They are not domesticated and sig… (read more)

Nevada State Railroad Museum in Boulder City

When Boulder Dam was under construction in 1931, the railroad was integral to transporting people to and from Boulder City, and for moving supplies to the construction site in Black Canyon. A portion of those tracks still exist. Today, history lovers can learn about the railroad’s history while riding on vintage, restored locomotives, some of which date to 1911. Museum personnel dress for the part… (read more)

Bootleg Canyon Mountain Bike Park

Mountain biking enthusiasts from all over the world travel to Bootleg Canyon to ride these challenging desert trails. One trail has won the coveted “Epic Ride” designation from the International Mountain Bike Association, a title given to only 18 trails. Thirty-five miles of interconnected trails traverse Bootleg Canyon, and riders can choose the length and difficulty of the trail they want to tac… (read more)

Boulder City Golf Course

The Boulder City Golf Course was built in 1973, which has given its trees and plants ample time to grow–unlike many of the Vegas Valley’s newer courses. A visitor might easily miss this municipal course, situated several blocks away from the main streets in small Boulder City, but if you’re in the mood for a reasonably priced round of golf on a friendly course, take the time for the detour.
