Everyone will find this 'ensconced' museum of some intellectual value. Inside of the historic Boulder Dam Hotel, several venues are available for the tourist and the price is certainly right.

It's very cool with the highlight being you get to peek out one of the ventilation shafts that are located on the downriver side of the dam.

Boulder City and Hoover Dam are a short 30-40 minute drive from our Marriott Grand Chateau “on the strip.” Boulder City is a model town with plenty of green parks, a restaurant selection, and two excellent Native American stores.

We stopped off in Boulder City on the way back from Hoover Dam and visited a local 'tourist shop'. The people were super friendly and prices were very reasonable. The shop is just close by the Post Office on the main street. More

Hoover Dam, don't miss seeing it. You will see nothing like it anywhere else. Can drive/tour down from Vegas in a couple of hours, worth the time away from the strip. More
