Boulder Dam Hotel

Boulder Dam Hotel Review

Be sure to stop at the Dutch Colonial style Boulder Dam Hotel, built in 1933. On the National Register of Historic Places, the 20-room bed-and-breakfast once was a favorite getaway for notables, including the man who became Pope Pius XII and actors Will Rogers, Bette Davis, and Shirley Temple.

Boulder City/Hoover Dam Museum. The Boulder City/Hoover Dam Museum in the rear of the hotel gives you a quick, compact history of the city and dam-building process. If you're going to the dam and paying for the tour and exhibits there, you probably don't need this one as well; but if you don't plan to pop for the dam tour, this one covers the basics. 702/294-1988. www.bcmha.org. $2. Mon.-Sat. 10-5.
