One of only two cities in Nevada that prohibits gambling, Boulder City might not offer the bright lights and ringing sounds of slot machines and gaming tables, but it does provide a wealth of other attractions, activities, and entertainment for the whole family. From exhilarating helicopter and hang gliding trike bike rides over Hoover Dam, the Black Canyon, and spectacular Lake Mead to learning more about the history of the region, tasting some of the area’s best craft beers, and dining out in style. Adrenalin lovers can take to the skies on skydiving adventures or go on off-road desert excursions, while visitors who want something less exciting can explore rock art panels in the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area.
