Lake Mead Marina is located on Hwy 166, about 6 miles north of Boulder City. This marina has all the amenities you need for a great time at Lake Mead. Their friendly people and a clean environment will make your visit memorable. They have a very good marina store with almost anything you'd want along with the amenities listed below.

Overnight mooring of your boat is available for $17/night. No reservations are taken, but there's usually always room for your boat, tied up almost anywhere. If you arrive after hours just pay them in the morning. Make sure you have adequate fenders to protect your boat, as some of these slips are quite old. PWC are more vulnerable to get damaged on these docks, so be careful when tying up.

Above you can see their selection of PWC, fishing boats, and ski boats. They do not rent houseboats from this marina. If you're interested in renting a 3-man SeaDoo, this is the only place on Lake Mead that has them. The only problem is they will tell you that you can only ride 2 people on them. If you ask why they will say it's a national park regulation. I checked with the NPS and there is no such regulation. So as far as we can tell there is nothing to keep you from staying within the law if you want to go "3-up" on these 3-man GTS SeaDoos. Make sure you have a life jacket for the third person because the rental agreement will only provide you with 2 jackets.

Just outside the marina restaurant you'll find this great patio deck above, fully covered for great shade. Lots of chairs outside allow you to kick back and relax with a drink.

Warning.... if you want to eat at the marina restaurant, don't expect much. I suggest you keep it simple, i.e. burgers, fries, etc. Don't order the steaks, ribs, or chicken, and FYI the vegetables are fresh from the can via microwave.

From the patio you'll have this beautiful view of the marina. You'll notice this marina has a high percentage of sailboats moored. Does that tell you anything? Yes, wind is quite common in this part of the lake, Boulder Basin. This is the only marina on Lake Mead that accommodates launching sailboats with a launch hoist at the ramp.

The kids will be amused by hundreds of big fish at the docks of Lake Mead Marina. These guys love to eat any leftovers you can toss them.
