  • Boulder Dam Hotel

    This stately hotel has housed the likes of presidents and movie stars. Having passed through the hands of several owners over the decades, and fallen into a state of disrepair, the residents of Boulder City decided to do something. They formed the Boulder Dam Hotel Association and bought the hotel. It is in the process of being refurbished and boasts a restaurant, shops, and the capacity to host a variety of functions. Events such as the Birdhouse Auction are fun fund raisers providing capital for hotel improvements.
