I visited this hotel/casino for a Billy Currington concert on April 10. Although we did not stay in the hotel, I can highly recommend the concert venue, Railhead, as a great place to see a show. It is intimate, with all seats a stone's throw from the stage and a bar right in the venue so you can get a drink and enjoy the show all at once. They'll even have a pretty young thing come and take your order to save you the effort.

Overall the hotel has a locals feel to it; and is probably not well suited for the Poser crowd one can find on the Strip. But, if you like good music, good food at a reasonable price and great service, the Boulder Station is the place for you!

Stayed here a few times, and always found it to have a great atmosphere, there are plenty of restaurants and bars, and has a big enough Casino that you can find a quiet corner if you want, the staff are super helpful. A downside is the pool, it is small and there is no hot tub.
I forget if it is the odd or even number rooms that have the great view of the skyline of the strip - ask when you check in.
Sams Town is close by which is great if you fancy a change of scenerey or a different restaurant.
You are a good taxi ride from the Strip if that is a consideration for you.
There is plenty to keep kids & teenagers occupied with the games & cinema.
Handy for Las Vegas Motor Speedway, you can get there on street roads without having to deal with traffic on the freeway, and stop for supplies on the way (such as an In & Out Burger - on Nellis - !) on the way.

This is a gem of a hotel; good food, decent rooms that need updating but are clean and nice staff. The only drawback is the pool. There is a weird sulphur smell to the water and no hot tub. We have stayed many times at this hotel in virtually every month of the year, but the POOL is ALWAYS COLD. Never could get past that sulphur smell but swam anyway. Even in July, when it was 115 degrees, the water was COLD. The pool needs a serious update, but is so conveniently located right outside the back door. Good hotel for elderly folks and those opposed to walking 5 miles to reach anything.

My father and I travelled to Vegas for the May bank holiday (UK) and we stayed at Boulder Station for 5 nights (Paying £123 for the 5 nights).

Check in was quick and the front of house staff were very plesent and well mannered. We checked in quite late (just after midnight) so were plesently surprised to be offered a choice of floors, we took the 11th.

It was a bit of a journey trying to find the lifts up to the room, you walk along the side of the casino for a bit and pass an exit. We did not notice the sign so kept going, but a helpful member of staff brought us back right to the security officer at the lifts. Security are there everynight between 3pm and 7am which should put some fears at ease. (Now we know, the thing to do, is park out front, check in and then drive to the hotel entrance, where you can park anyway)

the room was big. Was not that brighlty lit at first, but when you get into it and turn on the lamps after a while they seem to get brighter. Room was clean and tidy, did not smell. Bathroom was big, with shower, bath and large counter area. Tiny bit of mould above door but nothing we have not seen in loads of other hotels. Everything worked well and we had a nice view looking north towards Nellis.

The hotel is laid out quite well. When you come down in the lift, it is a short walk to the buffett, cafe, starbucks, chinese and Pizza takeaways, there is no never ending stroll through the casino, which was a nice surprise compsared to some of the strip hotels. The food was fine, we had no problems. It seemed cheap enough. Even if your not playing in the casino, join the players club as when you show the card, at least 2 of you get $1.00 off the breakfast buffett (which then costs $4.99)

Housekeeping were very plesent and did a good job on the room. We had a free newspaper delivered each morning apart from Sunday, but on the first day someone nicked half of them off the floor, so you need to be up early to get your copy.

The hotel is located close to the motorway on ramp for the 5 minute drive to the north end of the strip. There is easy access from Boulder Highway east to Hoover Dam/Lake Mead, North towards Nellis and south along the strip, so it was a great location for us.

Overall, a nice stay, good clean hotel, nice location (You do need a car), good service well worth the money we paid. We enjoyed it so much we will be returning for July 4th where we have been able to book 10 nights for £200 !!
