Boulder City came into existence with the construction of Hoover Dam, at 726.4 feet from bedrock to crest, the highest concrete dam in the country. An elevator descends 506 feet through the dam to the terrazo-tiled balcony which leads to the power plant. The visitors center offers three levels of exhibits including a topographic model of the river basin and films about the dam. Galleries, shops, and restaurants can be found in town. The Boulder City Hoover Dam Museum, housed in the historic Boulder Dam Hotel (ca. 1930) has interactive displays that tell the human story (of workers and their families) of one of the greatest construction projects in history.
