Just southeast of Las Vegas lies the town of Boulder City, Nevada, and the famous Hoover Dam, where more than a million tourists a year visit, according to hooverdam.travelnevada.com. Its massive size, art deco style, and impressively large generators make it a breathtaking sight to behold. But there's more to do in Nevada than look at the Hoover Dam. In fact, in the Las Vegas/Boulder City area, there are at least half a dozen golf courses you can swing on, including the Reflection Bay Golf Club, designed by golf legend Jack Nicklaus.
