Historic small-town community

Boulder City

Boulder City is the only city in Nevada that prohibits gambling — a deliberate choice that has kept it a quiet, small-town community of 15,000 residents built to house Hoover Dam workers in the 1930s. Its historic downtown, walkable streets, proximity to Lake Mead, and complete absence of the Strip's energy make it one of the most unique — and underrated — places to live in Southern Nevada.
