Boulder City Travel Guide

"Golf heaven" is how devotees describe this Rees Jones "stunner" that's rated No. 1 for Facilities in this year's Survey thanks to a clubhouse with a "Tuscany look" as well as a river running through it – you feel like it's "your own private country club"; "carved out of rock" in the hills outside Boulder City, the layout boasts "spectacular elevation changes", "endless views" and "incredible man-made streams", plus a "knowledgeable" "staff that treats you like gold"; it's "expensive", but most agree "it's more fun than you'll have at any gaming table."

"A marvel of Depression-era engineering", this "true man-made wonder" straddling the Arizona-Nevada border near Boulder City is "an absolute must-see" rave reviewers who say it's best appreciated via one of the tours led by "personable guides" who make it all the more "exciting" and "educational"; "traffic" and "summer temperatures" may be a deterrent to some, but the majority insists it'd be "ridiculous to miss it" – this is the "one thing the Strip can't replicate."
