Massage by Dawn

When life gets stressful, Dawn Hooper is ready to make sure things don’t “rub you the wrong way.” A licensed massage therapist, she is marking the first anniversary of her spa Sept. 20.

Hooper, who has 11 years of experience, offers a variety of treatments and massage styles at her spa, including Swedish, deep tissue, hot stone and Himalayan salt stone massages.

Another type she offers is Thai massage, which she compares to assisted yoga, allowing her clients to obtain deeper stretches by holding positions longer.

Other services at the spa include cupping therapy, cranial-sacral therapy, detox slim wrap, lymphatic drainage and ear candling.

“Ear candling is thousands of years old, and the benefits are amazing, especially with allergy season, she said.

She also offers sugar scrub body polish and organic bronzing services.

Hooper said she is always looking for new treatments and products to provide her clients with fresh experiences. Among her newest offerings is a sacred Sedona clay wrap, which features clay mud applications over the entire body, a heated wrap and scalp treatment, with oil applied afterwards for rehydration.

Hooper came to Boulder City three years ago, moving from North Las Vegas. She said she fell in love with the community while driving through it to get to Lake Mead.

The first year anniversary celebration is planned from 5 to 7 p.m. at the spa, 1400 Colorado St., Suite B.

For more information, call or text Hooper at 702-570-1399 or visit her website at www.bcmassagebydawn.com.

City reallocates $750,000 for fiscal year 2025

More than a year ago, in a Boulder City Council discussion about budgeting, Mayor Joe Hardy, in two sentences, summed up the most basic truth about city budgets.

Update on city utility projects

Sometimes the good information comes from unexpected places.

Third extension for portico funding

About once a month, before the start of the city council meeting, the members of the council meet wearing their hats as the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) and dole out money to reimburse businesses and homeowners in the historic district for qualifying work done to their properties.

Public weighs in on purchase

With last week’s announcement in the Boulder City Review that three longtime residents/businessmen purchased the former Central Market building and their plans to bring in a small grocery chain, there’s been plenty of input from the public.

Trio looks to bring new grocery store to town

If one were to ask 25 Boulder City residents what the town is missing, you’d probably get a few different answers like affordable housing or a movie theater. But the overwhelming answer would likely be the same – a second grocery store.

City awards $1.6M for pool design

Back in March 2024, Councilwoman Sherri Jorgensen said, “I can’t even imagine what it would cost in 2028.”

City transfers bond capacity

Kevin Hickey, of the Nevada Rural Housing Authority, has been making pretty much the same presentation to the council annually thanking the city for transferring nearly $1 million in bond capacity to the group he represents.

Council confusion: The leash law saga continues

Three statements — notably, none of them from members of the city council — best illustrated the difficulties residents (both dog-loving and not) have had for at least four years when it comes to the issue of off-leash dogs in public parks.
