Boulder City Golf Trip Planning Guide
Boulder City is the small, casino-free town built for Hoover Dam workers, perched above Lake Mead just 30 minutes from Las Vegas. Strong public golf at Boulder Creek and the historic 1936 city course, a charming old downtown, and easy Strip access make it a calmer base with Vegas on tap.
