You can get a better bargain at other motels in the area, but the two-story Boulder Dam Hotel is steeped in history. It was constructed in a hurry. The groundbreaking was Sept. 1, 1933, and it opened Dec. 15 the same year.
It doesn't look hastily built, but with its Colonial style, it does look out of place. The lobby, paneled in caramel-colored southern gumwood, is the most pleasant spot in the hotel.
The price of the room includes breakfast in the restaurant and admission to the Boulder City/Hoover Dam Museum, also in the hotel.
