| Boulder's historic hotel |
Not to be confused with the one in Colorado,
Boulder City is the town that built Hoover Dam. In real life it's a cheerful place with a historic downtown, where I stopped for a microbrew at the
Boulder Dam Brewing Co (hullo if you're reading this. Your beers are great.)

It's also, unfortunately, among the most
totalled joints in the Wasteland - with barely two buildings standing. I'd like to think the first one is the
Boulder Dam Hotel, a well-proportioned white building in the historic district; it's in roughly the right place and carries on the same kind of business.

Also in Boulder are a number of buildings with arched walkways on the path, of which this is representative.
Realistically, the buildings in the game could have been based on any of these - or none of them.
Next I'm fast travelling a bit, across the game map to
Sloan.
Here's what I remember about driving thru Boulder City on the way to Hoover Dam...Toilet Paper Man statue!

I don't recall seeing him in the game though.
He's probably under the rubble, yeah that's it, buried under the rubble, I'm sure of it : )
