2025 Boulder City Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

Hoover Dam is an easy day trip from Vegas. You'll be able to marvel at one of the world's most famous dams standing majestically amongst a rugged landscape. It's very interesting to join the informative tour that lets you see the inside of this huge structure and explains its different functions. For me, I also really enjoyed seeing the area around the dam and seeing how difficult it must have been to construct something in That landscape. There are many pretty pictures to be taken. Finally it's worth mentioning that the dam stands on the border of two states and at times, you might be transversing two different time zones, which I find truly neat! #travel #hooverdam #nevada #usa #explore

#passionpassport Hoover Dam, formerly called Boulder Dam, dam in Black Canyon on the Colorado River, at the Arizona-Nevada border, U.S. Constructed between 1930 and 1936, it is the highest concrete arch dam in the United States.

The South Rim of the Grand Canyon is the most accessible point and is open year-round whereas the North Rim opens seasonally. You can drive or take a shuttle bus from Flagstaff or Las Vegas to the canyon. Accommodation Depending on your preference, you may opt to accommodate in the lodges inside the park or hotels in nearby towns like Tusayan. Keep in mind that the lodges inside the park generally charge higher. Pre-trip preparation It is recommended to reserve accommodation and campsites well in advance since they tend to be crowded around the year. Pack water, sun protection, sturdy hiking shoes, and layers for variable weather. Scenic spots Some recommended scenic spots include Mather Point, Bright Angel Trail, and Yavapai Observation Station. Reference costs Park entry costs USD35 per vehicle for a 7-day pass. Precautions Be prepared for sudden changes in weather, especially at high elevations.

Not far from Las Vegas, about 30-40 minutes drive. I must say that it was very exciting because the dam was really big. But what was even more exciting was that the weather was extremely hot as well. 555' For anyone who comes to visit Las Vegas, try to stop by. #Travel #America 🇺🇸

Hoover Dam - Nevada and Arizona border This dam is also one of the interesting attractions during the trip. As an important public facility located on the border of two states, tourists visiting here are not allowed to bring hard suitcases, and we had to deposit our suitcases at the hotel in Vegas before we came. Along the visitor center, you can walk to the trail to view the dam. It looks quite long. We walked for about 5 minutes but didn’t finish it. There is a sign marking the border between two states along the way. If one person stands on one side, he or she can take a photo that makes the scene seem so close yet so far away. There are also small tombstones of former working dogs on the road, which give you a sense of the hard work of the workers who built the dam. #hooverdam #nevada #arizona
