We enjoyed our afternoon in Boulder City. Much calmer than Vegas. Quaint, neat shops and restaurants many with history dating back to the construction of the Hoover Dam. The old hotel/inn has a great Hoover Dam Museum/exhibits. Has a film at the end that is good too. Not only talks about the dam construction but goes into how the workers lived there in Boulder City. We were picked up at Treasure Island, not far from our hotel and dropped off at Boulder City. The bus driver was very hospitable and knowledgeable about Las Vegas and the Boulder City area. Most on the bus traveled on to the Hoover Dam. We were picked up on their way back and dropped off at Treasure Island. A definite must to get away from all the lights and stimulation of Las Vegas. If you have never seen the Hoover Dam, this tour is a great opportunity to do both!
