Grab your bags, stroll out of arrivals at Boulder City, NV Airport (BLD-Boulder City Municipal), and collect your rental car. Which one you jump into depends on where you want to go. If you’ll be mostly driving in downtown Las Vegas, around 22 miles from the terminal, consider something small. A compact car with good maneuverability will be ideal for navigating those bustling city streets. But with so many things to see, like the picturesque desert landscapes of the region, you may want to add some pit stops. A larger vehicle, like an SUV or a full-size car, will make lengthier road trips a pleasure.
