The El Rancho Boulder Motel is just minutes from beautiful Lake Mead and Hoover Dam, and just 20 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip. Out Motel is family owned and operated, with a friendly staff that is there to assist you in any way we can. We still think that good service is the way to keep people coming back.

The motel is within walking distance of a variety of dining & shopping options, or use the poolside BBQ for an after boating cookout.

Customer Testimonials

"Stayed here on way to the Grand Canyon. The Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was nothing fancy, but very clean and I felt safe there." June 2005

"Just returned to the UK from our 2nd drive from the West coast to the East coast, and I stand by what I said about the El Rancho the 1st time. By far the best road side motel we stayed in." April 2006

Close enough to the Vegas Strip without the Vegas Smog. Clean, relatively quiet, and near to the Dam and Lake Mead." September 2006

"We were out west for a week, of all of the chain motels and higher priced establishments we stayed at, this was by far the nicest and most comfortable. Details that only a woman would notice were the faux-suede comforter with matching shams, delicate wallpaper, etc. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, and the pool towels they furnished us with smelled so good my husband wanted to take them home. If you are going to Vegas, skip the smog and traffic jams and stay 20 miles south in this gem of a city. Green parks to walk the dogs, homey restaurants and no crowds. I may move there." September 2006

"Loved the El Rancho."

"A gem of a Motel."

"On our 5 week road trip from San Francisco to New York, we stayed in over 20 motels; this was without a doubt the best."
