Description: Boulder City, NEVADA - Lake Mead Lodge - 1950: Boulder City is a city in Clark County, Nevada, United States. It is approximately 26 miles (42 km) southeast of Las Vegas. As of the 2020 census, the population of Boulder City was 14,885. The city took its name from Boulder Canyon. Boulder City is one of only two places in Nevada that prohibits gambling, the other being the town of Panaca. After completion of the Hoover Dam, tourism continued to grow and the NPS signed a 20-year contract with Grand Canyon-Boulder Dam Tours, Inc. (GCBDT). The contract gave GCBDT exclusive rights to construct and operate tourist facilities around Lake Mead under the supervision of NPS. GCBDT already managed facilities in Boulder City, the closest community to Lake Mead. Under this contract, GCBDT built Hualapai Lodge, named for a Native American tribe in Arizona east of Lake Mead. Opened in 1941, Hualapai Lodge played a key role in the development of recreation and tourism at Lake Mead National Recreation Area and Southern Nevada. The Lodge was the first hotel on Lake Mead, and it was one of the first tourist facilities constructed inside the park. The facility was renamed Lake Mead Lodge in 1945, since the name better reflected its lakeside location and was easier to spell and pronounce than "Hualapai." This Linen Era postcard, published in 1950, is in good condition. C. T. Art-Colortone. Made by Curt Teich & Co. Chicago. No. 0C-H967. Desert Souvenir Supply. Boulder City, Nevada.
