Boulder City/Hoover Dam Museum

Upstairs at the historic Boulder Dam Hotel (where Bette Davis, Franklin D Roosevelt and Howard Hughes once slept), this small but engaging museum focuses on Depression-era America and the tough living conditions endured by the people who came to build the nearby Hoover Dam. A 20-minute film features historic footage of the project.
