Boulder City Car Show

Terrie really wanted to stay outside of Vegas and was able to get the last available room in Boulder City this Memorial day weekend.  Not only was it a holiday weekend but Boulder City was hosting an Antique Car Show and Barbeque Cook-off.

We didn't get any of the barbeque, but had a great Chicken Ceasar Salad "Al Fresco" after wandering through all of the old cars.  There were many classics from the forties and fifties, beautiful restorations.
Boulder City was founded to support the construction of the Boulder Dam which was renamed in 1947, "Hoover Dam".  Now it essentially supports the tourists for Hoover Dam and the people who maintain the dam and generate electric power for the region.
