Boulder City

Boulder City is a town in the Mojave Wasteland. It is "Home of the Eagles".

Background
The town was until recently a functional one. During the First Battle of Hoover Dam in 2277, in a last ditch attempt to defeat the Legion, New California Republic (NCR) Rangers booby trapped the town and led Legion troops into the trap. Although this won the battle, the city was almost entirely demolished as a result. After the battle, a monument to the NCR soldiers who fell during the battle was placed in the remains of the town.

Layout
There isn't much in the town besides the Boulder City ruins, a saloon, which is run by Ike, and the hostage situation between the NCR and the Great Khans (Boulder City Showdown).

On entrance from the West, there is an NCR memorial to soldiers who died at the Battle for Hoover Dam, being looked at by Private Kowalski, if the player attacks the front of the memorial, Kowalski will draw his gun and say "What the fuck are you doing? My brother died at the Battle of Hoover Dam. You're desecrating a war memorial." If a second attack is made, he will become hostile.

Behind the scenes

 * Most of the names on the memorial seem to be developers and other trivia. One of them is a mention of Roger Westin III, a nod to Fallout 2.
 * Boulder City is an actual town in Nevada located 20 miles south-east of Las Vegas. Lake Mead, located next to Boulder City, is the home of the Hoover Dam. Interestingly enough, Boulder City is one of two towns in Nevada where gambling is illegal; the other being the town of Panaca.

Bugs

 * Sometimes if you attack the memorial again after being confronted by Kowalski, he will not turn hostile but just stand there.
