Boulder City Travel Blogs

We left our hotel - The Residence Inn Marriott hotel at about nine thirty in the morning. Apparently my colleague Maria is an early riser, she was up at 5:00 am watching TV at the lowest of volumes. I was the designated driver for the day so I decided we needed everything we could get to make our r…

HOOVER DAM STOP Brett has never been to Hoover dam.  I wanted to take them to the lookout point where we can see Lake Mead. We took many photos. it was very windy and cold. Afterwards, we drove across the dam.  I noticed the bridge view is slowly in construction. All the roads leadin…

Las Vegas, Nevada

A fantastic trip to some beautiful spots in such a diverse country!

Over the weekend of March 28, myself and several friends attended the 2008 Red Rock Rendezvous in Vegas. Some of us camped at the event and others got hotels (I camped obvioulsy) but we all had an amazing time. I was able to lead a sport climbing route for the first time and demo'd some very high-end Specialized mountain bikes. Even had the chance to check out Hoover Dam before catching our flight home. (the photos read like a journal)

A wee stag trip to Vegas that included a brief trip with Scenic Tours and a helicopter ride into the floor of the Grand Canyon. Good times...

The houses built just off Highway 93 through Boulder City on the hill are quite impressive, but not as nice as the view they have of Lake Mead. And the 'historic downtown' just behind these houses is...well, obviously fake and manicured...but quite cute. I'd even call it a tourist attraction in its…
