There's just a 30- to 45-minute drive between Boulder City and Las Vegas, but these two places couldn't be any more different. While Vegas invests heavily in indulgence and a highly publicized Sin City reputation, Boulder City is one of the rare Nevada communities that doesn't allow gambling. It has a small-town feel and a low-key atmosphere that’s also a quick and easy antidote to the chaos of Las Vegas. ⁠ ⁠ Tour the Hoover Dam and check out the outdoor viewing deck and series of exhibits; head downtown and browse antique thrift shops like Goatfeathers Emporium and Bella Marketplace; go to a concert at Boulder Theater; and dine on Southwest Diner’s modern take on classic American comfort food.
