Desert Playground
Gains Popularity

BOULDER, Dec. 10.-On the shores
of the great Lake Mead, in back
of Boulder Dam, there is being
created the worlds creates and love-
liest desert playground-the Boulder
Dam Recreational Area.
Here, in the setting of beauty, the
United States Government is spend
ing several million dollars to create
an outdoor playground that will be
unmatched anywhere in the world.
Sailing, swimming, aquaplaning, rid
ing and hiking are already avail
able, and attracting as many as
10000 per month during the summer
season.
Soon to be built is an 18-hole golf
course, tennis courts, clubhouses and
luxurious lodge. Water to create
a veritable oasis in this lovely desert
will be drawn from Lake Mead,
pumped to reservoir hidden in the
hills, and released by gravity to irri-
gate grass and palms and gardens.
Transportation facilities to the
area are complete. Most direct route
is by airline, as planes stop daily at
Boulder City, adjacent to the dam
and headquarters for the area. Rail
transportation is available to Las
Vegas, where automobiles can speed
vacationists to the area over we'll
paved roads.
Accommodations, luxurious but
reasonably priced. are now available
at Boulder City, where many trans
continental air passengers choose to
stop over for few hours, a day, or
more. Trips up the lake, which ex-
tends from the dam for q distance of
110 miles clear in the Grand Canyon
itself. are becoming increasingly
popular.
