U.S. 93 Business follows Boulder City Parkway along the former alignment of U.S. 93 through Boulder City. U.S. 93 was relocated onto Interstate 11 when the freeway was completed to the south of Boulder City on August 9, 2018. Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) inventories U.S. 93 Business at 9.52 miles in length between SR 172 (Hoover Dam Access Road) and I-11/U.S. 93-95 at Railroad Pass.
U.S. 93 Business was established after the application by NDOT to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) was approved at the May 23, 2017 meeting of the Special Route Numbering Committee. The action requested designating the route upon completion of Interstate 11 along the Boulder City Bypass and associated relocation of U.S. 93 onto the limited access highway.
Leading west from the Hoover Dam Bypass, U.S. 93 Business passes by Hoover Dam Lodge Casino. Opened by 2001 as the Hacienda Casino, the gaming facility was built at the site of once burned-out hulk of a casino that was destroyed by fire. Just west of there is the Lake Mead National Recreation Area Visitors Center, which provides information on camping, boating, hiking and swimming. Maintained by the National Park Service, Lakeshore Road (former SR 166) ties into U.S. 93 Business nearby from western reaches of Lake Mead and Boulder Harbor.
U.S. 93 Business enters the Boulder City limits through a valley between the El Dorado and River Mountains. Boulder City was created as a town exclusively for workers building Hoover (Boulder) Dam. With gaming prohibited from the beginning, Boulder City is without a casino. The community instead thrives as the gateway for tourists visiting the dam.
Though historically, Boulder City resisted forces that aided growth in the Las Vegas valley, the community eventually grew as a bedroom community for Las Vegas. In Spring 1998, the city added its second traffic light along Nevada Way (former SR 500), the original business loop for U.S. 93 to Historic Downtown.
Northwest of Downtown Boulder City, U.S. 93 Business passes several motels, curio shops and fast food franchises along an original bypass arterial. The highway widens into a four lane, divided highway, just before it meets SR 173 (old U.S. 95) at a diamond interchange. U.S. 95 leads north from Needles, California and the Laughlin-Bullhead City area as a four lane highway from the state line to I-11/U.S. 93 along the Boulder City Bypass.
