So glad I found your channel. Going through a tough time at home (UK) with my wife's 2nd battle with Cancer! Your videos remind us of our trips in years past and gives us hope for the future. Thank you. ❤
Oh we are so glad you found us too! We are happy to be your virtual trips to Las Vegas, until you can come back yourselves. We wish you, and your wife, the very best: a victory over the cancer, and lots to look forward to. :)
The biggest mistake tourist make is by-passing Boulder City on the way to Hoover Dam. Its a really neat and historic little city. I have photos of the by-pass bridge being built in 2009, they were part of the way across on each side, with a big gap in the middle. I still have yet to drive across it though.
Smug Smugly I totally agree! When we need a break from big city life, Boulder City is our getaway spot for the day. We really like the antique shops, and there is a burger place called The Dillinger that is over the top. Truly a lovely town to visit, as you clearly know. And as for the bridge: Make plans to drive that cool new stretch of highway, and bring the camera again! You can get some before and after shots. 📷 🏜🚗
bradonlap So glad you watched this one, thank you...it remains one of my favorites. I really enjoy visiting that lovely little town, and the dam awes me. Hope you do make time to go there!
@@paulamckenzie I been to the dam a few times ( all in one yr )..lol, and I have passed by this town but never made any effort to stop and check it out...I will in Dec for sure!...I think Ill stay a Dale and Paula list of places I havent seen yet!...lol. keep up the great work with your informative videos!
Boulder City looks like an interesting place to visit. We usually do a quick drive by when out that way. We need to make it a destination instead. We find ourselves heading directly to Hoover Dam and touring that area every time. We cannot believe how much walking you guys do. You are both in good shape. Thank you for exploring in our behalf.
Oh this kind of comment just gives me chills! There are soooo many photos in that museum, I am thinking you’d have a good chance of seeing him! Thank you for sharing that. 😊
I'm glad you caught the grandeur, grit, vision, skills, and talents - so many and so much - that designed and built this Very Impressive piece of engineering and man's ability. The music was a great fit.
I am from holland, we've been there in 2017...... IT IS BREATHTAKING!! You are so right, it is an experience you will never forget! I love Vegas! (and everything surrounding it) Thanks for all your uploads. Greetings from The Netherlands, me Thomas
Hello Thomas in the Netherlands, and thank you SO much for watching our videos! We appreciate you! And, so glad you liked Boulder City and the Dam...we love it there. :)
SeaSlug To know that our videos help you plan your trip gives me a thrill - we love Vegas and want you who visit to have a fabulous time! Viva Las Vegas!
Cherry St you showed in your video had houses on your right going towards Boulder Hwy were built by Southern California Edison Company to house employees to operate Hoover dam. On the left side was houses built by the Dept. of Water and Power for their employees. I know because I grew up in one from 1960 - 1973. My Dad was a Dam operator in the control room.
We will visit and see these beautiful spots this week...I love how you incorporate history into your shows...with all the junk on tv I think TH-cam shows like yours are going to be a great alternative...always professional and clear and concise when you explain the different locations....Thank you for your commitment to excellence in these videos...Super fan Todd and family...
Aww Super fan Todd and family, we are so grateful for you! Thanks for this lovely comment, and for supporting our channel! You said this week - you will be here visiting? Hope you have a fantastic time, and explore all kinds of unique destinations!
Very wonderful video! I live in Phoenix and want to drive up there sometime and spend the weekend. I haven't been to Hoover Dam since I was 4 or 5 years old and that was about 50 years ago!
I have a terrible fear of heights but they really do make you feel safe. I would highly recommend the next time you’re in town to give it a try. I was terrified to do it but so exhilarated after. To top it off we got some unbelievable footage for the Vlog. 😊 Boulder City is great place to go even if you don’t go to the dam.
Thank you! We strive for as good quality as we can make it. 😊 Dale’s video camera is the DJI Osmo Pocket, widely available on Amazon and tech sites - it is amazing, we highly recommend!

Ted Fisher We actually love the exploring! Ohh to be able to get back out there again...sigh. But yes, BC is a lovely day trip escape, try it out.
My grandpa worked on the dam. I would love to go to the museum to see if I could catch him in one of the photos.

Another amazing video from Dale and Paula keep up the good work you two. A few minutes into the video I swear I was watching the travel channel 😀
Wow, thanks, you always have the most complimentary comments. So appreciative of your support. 😊

Loved the video, had traveled thru Boulder City but never did the exploring like you guys did.👍🤩🌞😎
Steve Diaz Thanks for watching these off-the-Strip goodies! 😊
Hopefully be in Boulder City next year!
I haven't ever made the trip to Hoover Dam but I'm going to now after seeing this video. We'll be there again in two years.
Hoover Dam and the new Pat Tillman bridge are definitely worth the trip. Thanks for watching. 😊
Very wonderful video! I live in Phoenix and want to drive up there sometime and spend the weekend. I haven't been to Hoover Dam since I was 4 or 5 years old and that was about 50 years ago!
Wonderful information on this city! Very interesting!
Another great video. Thanks for making them.
Once again, another incredible video. Keep up the excellent work.
Randy Trent We love comments like this - so glad you are enjoying our stuff! It was a hot one, but so worth it when we hear that you enjoyed it. 🌞
Too much acrophobia to step foot on that bridge when I visited 3 weeks ago, but now I'm mad I didn't see Boulder City!

Just found you guus on you tube; great videos! The clarity of your photography is phenomenal. I was curious as to what camera you are using?

Also 18k population
Retro_Bolt Yep we can see why the town is growing - what a superb place to live!
Fun fact: The camera at the beginning was facing South at the Northern side of Hoover Dam and the Colorado River>
You mean the aerial footage? Yes, correct, we were returning to Las Vegas on a Southwest flight, and had a perfect view of the dam and lake.
Southwest diner found a cockroach in one of there burgers, they shutdown for a while
Retro_Bolt Thank you for the locals insider info...
