This charming out-of-the-way B&B with only four rooms was a wonderful find. I came there by accident due to a mix-up in reservations at another hotel in Boulder City and was sent as an overflow guest to Milo’s Inn without even ever having heard of it before. I ended up being glad for the overbooking at the other place, because Milo’s was a true delight. I landed in the “Chianti Room,” just opposite an interior courtyard pond where one can sit outside and watch turtles and koi. The rooms are located upstairs, but the inn sits on a slight hillside, so that the rear of the property's second floor opens onto an alleyway and street with ample free parking (no need to carry luggage upstairs). To reach the courtyard from the front of the place on Nevada Way, one passes through the wine café downstairs and goes up one flight. (Don’t look for a lobby, because there isn’t one, just ask in the cafe.) I enjoyed the unexpected seclusion, including one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. As the name of the rooms imply, the owner is a wine connoisseur, and the amenities in my room were emblematic of the prioritization of pleasure at Milo’s Inn: There’s a large jetted spa tub, a gas fireplace, a wine chiller (instead of a coffeemaker) . . . and on the theory that you won't need to keep track of time, they just didn’t even bother to put a clock in the room. Cool.

Breakfast downstairs was personally prepared by the friendly proprietor, Eric, and was very good. I appreciated that it was served over a broad spread of morning hours to accommodate early and late risers; however, without any pressure at all, he does appreciate some indication of when you might be downstairs so that he can plan each meal individually.

The restaurant affiliated with the B&B has street café seating in a lovely covered sidewalk arcade, as well as indoor seating. The Tuscan-inspired food was excellent and not terribly expensive, and the sommelier is a very knowledgeable woman who was fun to talk to about my food-wine matches. It turned out to be more price effective to pay the corkage fee for a bottle of wine, rather than order it by the glass, even though I wasn’t intending to drink a whole bottle, and it was no problem to take it upstairs to my room to finish later. There are also a variety of other restaurants and a brewpub within easy walking distance.

I had read about Boulder City in the travel section of my local newspaper and decided to overnight there while on a road trip through the West. It’s very convenient to Hoover Dam, which I toured one morning. (Well worth the full admission price, but get there early to avoid the crowds.) The town originated in the late 1920s as a place to house workers who built the dam, and it retains its historic charm. Boulder City is scarcely 20 miles from Las Vegas, and I noticed that most of my fellow guests at Milo's actually lived in Vegas but came there on the weekend to escape the commotion. I think of Boulder City as an anti-Las Vegas—quiet, clean, no gambling, no traffic. I had fun poking around some of the local antique shops, and there’s also an interesting historical museum inside the nearby Boulder Dam Hotel.

Milo’s Inn is probably set up more for couples on get-away trips than for single travelers, but I was made to feel very comfortable there, and if circumstances repeat themselves, I would definitely visit again.

...my hubs and I found the Inn through one of the B&B sites online and we're SO glad we decided to book a night's stay there in Boulder City. Connected to/located next to Milo's Best Cellars, most people wouldn't know the Inn is there...the 'check-in desk' is tucked in next to the bar area where there is also a coffee shop/French bakery selection (colorful macaroons!) and the Inn/guest rooms are through a doorway, around a corner, through another door and up a set of stairs -hidden and unexpected. Eric the Innkeeper walked us up to the beautiful shared courtyard (he even has bicycles there if you want to pedal around town) and gave us a tour before showing us to our room...he was super-pleasant and great conversation the next morning during breakfast (coffee, tea, orange juice, homemade granola, fresh and dried fruit, almond milk, yogurt, a delicious 'southwestern' baked omelette with homemade mango or chipotle salsa, avocado and a corn tortilla...yum!).
...we aren't from the Las Vegas area/Nevada but we will definitely book another night or two at the Inn in Boulder City if we have the opportunity to again -thanks Eric!

(...the double whirlpool tub in our room was fantastic too, but if you like to take a 'stand up' shower in the morning, book a room with a marble-lined shower instead.)

This was a second trip to Boulder City (which is a charming town, by the way) as respite from a Las Vegas trip. I had looked into staying at Milo's last year but something put me off. After talking to Eric however, I was willing to give it a go. I'd have never found the B&B entrance without help but there was plenty of help at Milo's Bistro downstairs from the inn. It's a casual place but everyone we encountered was beyond friendly and helpful. We didn't make it down for breakfast until the last minute and were accommodated with a smile. We felt we missed nothing. A special request for a big-screen TV for a play-off football game was treated like no problem whatsoever. The room was comfortable and romantic and the only slight problem was quite a bit of noise early one morning. But we got so tickled about it that it turned out to be fun. Be sure and eat at the Bistro too. The food is marvelous. We hope to return here next year.

Just wanted to say thank you to you and Karen for the incredible
service you provided our guests during their stay this past weekend. I heard nothing but rave reviews about their rooms, the food and the
service...wow...were they impressed by the service.
