Fact text

  • Boulder City is one of only two places in the entire state of Nevada where gambling is completely illegal, quite the rebellious neighbor to Las Vegas.
  • The city was originally built in 1931 just to house the workers constructing Hoover Dam, making it essentially a giant, planned company town in the desert.
  • Early Boulder City earned the nickname 'Nevada's Garden City' thanks to its surprisingly lush landscaping, a bold flex in the middle of the Mojave Desert.
  • Alcohol was banned in Boulder City until 1969, meaning workers building one of the world's greatest engineering marvels had to stay completely sober on the job.
  • Boulder City is technically the largest city in Nevada by land area, bigger than Las Vegas, yet has only about 72 people per square mile.
