BlueBonnet..Hoover Dam is 30-60 minute drive from the Strip, depending on traffic & time of day. The toughest part is getting down to Boulder Hwy. which takes you to the Dam in Boulder City. Also if you are a golfer, the Boulder City Muni. course is really nice and relatively inexpensive.
I just booked a trip to LAS the end of Sept. Will be staying at the Rio from 9/26-9/30. If any other F-T's will be there then, e-mail me please .
