Opening comment
[edit]I have deleted the referencing of Boulder City as a component of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area. It is not viewed upon by the locals as such, and it is not culturually or economically similar to Las Vegas. Any further referencing of Boulder City as a part of Las Vegas Valley or the Metropolitan area of Las Vegas will be deleted.
I would suggest that articles about Blue Diamond, Lake Mead, Black Mountain, and any other cities or areas NOT part of Las Vegas Metropolitan/Valley be similarly edited. The Las Vegas valley is what it is, and that means not Blue Diamond, not Boulder City, Not Lake Mead, and certainly not the Hoover Dam.
===============
[edit]Boulder City is, in fact, considered part of metropolitan Las Vegas (Clark County, NV) as evidenced by its founding and continued membership and representation in local regional planning and governmental organizations such the Southern Nevada Water Authority, Clark County Regional Flood Control District, Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada, Southern Nevada Health District, etc. Additionally, it is represented by District A of the Clark County Commission.
The other locations mentioned in your comment above (Blue Diamond, Lake Mead, Black Mountain, etc. are NOT municipalities located within within Clark County). While Blue Diamond is an unincorporated part of Clark County and governmentally represented as such, the other locations are geographic identifiers only.
Were we to follow your argument to it's logical conclusion, the Las Vegas Strip could not be included in discussions of Las Vegas as it is NOT located within the geographic confines of the City of Las Vegas (it is actually located mainly in unincorporated Clark County). However, "The Strip" is one of the areas that most people associate with Las Vegas and therefore it makes sense to include references to it on the Las Vegas wiki page.

- Ill put it as this. Boulder city is NOT part of the LV-Paradise MP Area. You have to go though mountains pass Henderson, Nevada. The landscape of the town is complety different. Leave Message, Yellow Evan home

[edit]I refer you to: http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Metropolitan_area for additional information about what constitutes a metropolitan area in the sense it is being discussed for this particular article. --Teemcee (talk) 23:01, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
- BTW, some of that info is unsourced. Leave Message, Yellow Evan home
I realize some of the information is unsourced. However, I'm surrounding by planners, developers and a variety of urban resources all day. I'm familiar with the terminology, the data application practices, etc. In professional planning terms, Boulder City is considered part of the Las Vegas Valley or Clark County metropolitan area.

Largest or third largest?
[edit]At one point in the article it says Boulder City is the largest city in area in Nevada. In another place it says B.C. is the third largest in area. Which is correct? Dragomiloff 01:38, 21 January 2007 (UTC) The former is correct. S.B.
- According to List of United States cities by area, Boulder City is the largest in Nevada at 203 mi2. Carson city is second largest. — Zaui (talk) 15:41, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Geography
[edit]Is the territory separated into two parts, or is there a small stripe of land connecting them? In both cases, is there an explanation for that? --141.3.48.218 (talk) 17:03, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
Trendsetter_for_Decentralization ?
[edit]In section http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Boulder_City,_Nevada#Trendsetter_for_Decentralization
"Decentralization" needs to be defined. While it has a "lazy hypertext," that entry wanders and is unfocused. This pretty much destroys it's usefulness as an inline link.

Boulder City airport?
[edit]Does anyone have better information than I do about the old Boulder City airport, which was an important layover and refuelling point for TWA back in the pre-jet era? --NellieBly (talk) 20:50, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
labor union was allowed?
[edit]Didn't find anything about that. --germanIP — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.115.41.116 (talk) 01:35, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
