Just miles from the glittering, glowing and growing city of Las Vegas lies Boulder City. The place came up as home for the workers constructing the Hoover Dam, it is dotted with parks and beautiful homes and sprung out of arid desert. The city radiates small town values and has evolved into homes for retirees, families, artistes and others.

Boulder City overlooks Lake Mead and is minutes away from Hoover Dam. The city does not allow gaming. Parks, pools, and golf courses dot the landscape. 18 golf courses, 11 parks and a public pool are located with in the city.

Despite being a small city Boulder is big on the arts scene. Several cultural and sporting events throughout the year keep the city’s citizens engaged and entertained. The Boulder City Fine Arts Festival, featuring local artists from the surrounding area, classic car shows, the Lake Mead festival of lights are just some of the events that Boulder City plays hosts to.
