Vegas Day Trip: Discovering the Joys of Boulder City, Nevada

Spring is the time of year that just begs for a road trip! This week on LVIO we are off for an adventure that's less than 30 miles from Las Vegas...but worlds away. It's the lovely town the dam built, Boulder City. Join us for a getaway day trip to all that Boulder City has to offer - a huge historic district, great restaurants, great antique shops, great history. Highlights include The Dillinger for lunch, and the beautifully restored Boulder Dam Hotel for some unexpected music! We will also make a stop at Hemenway Park, looking for those bighorn sheep, and of course take a peek at the magnificent Hoover Dam.

This was very entertaining to watch and I cherished every minute of it. This is the type of video that separates you from the nickle-and-dime Vegas vloggers and elevates you to a much higher standard. I'm eagerly looking forward to your next masterpiece.

    Boulder City looks awesome - everyting is so neat and clean. We drove from Phoenix to Las Vegas (and back) in the early 1980s. It was a real highlight to drive over the top of the dam, as the highway does, and it was fun to stop briefly at the Hoover Dam to take in this massive engineering and construction project. Las Vegas beckoned us though, and I liked how you could see it way off in the distance.
