Southwest Diner

Boulder City is a quaint, retro break from all the flash and sizzle of Las Vegas, and few places epitomize the vibe better than Southwest Diner. This three-meal cafe is heavy on the kitsch (think throwback memorabilia inside and out) and the classic (a menu of diner staples with an emphasis on Tex-Mex favorites). Your best bet is to stick to the house specials: spicy Santa Fe potato cakes served with applesauce and eggs, breakfast sandwiches piled high with avocado and bacon, homemade banana bread and giant wedges of pie.
