[edit] History
Built in 1933 to accommodate managers supervising the building of Hoover Dam. At the time, it was considered a destination resort.
The hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 13, 1982.
The Boulder Dam Hotel Association purchased the hotel in 1993 and spent over $2 million to restore it. During the restoration, the number of rooms was reduced from 83 to allow for more public spaces.
Major renovations were completed in the early 2000s allowing the hotel to reopen.
