Boating

Las Vegas Boat Harbor and Lake Mead Marina. These side-by-side marinas are accessed via Lakeshore Road from a branch road; look for a right turn soon after you pass through the Boulder City admission gate near the Alan Bible Visitor Center. They are jointly operated, with combined slips of nearly 1,500. In addition to boater amenities, both have marina stores and casual restaurants. A variety of watercraft and boats can be rented by the day or hour, and the marinas provide the closest services to nearby Boulder Beach, a popular public swimming beach. 490 Horsepower Cove Rd., Boulder City, Nevada, 89005. 702/293--1191; www.boatinglakemead.com.
