The statue of "Alabam," long forgotten Hoover Dam worker who cleaned the project's outhouses and replenished daily lavatory supplies, enjoys his newfound celebrity on the main drag of Boulder City. The bronze "Toilet Paper Hero of Hoover Dam" is a popular photo op, with his unique paper roll bandolier, shouldered broom and cleaning rig.

Located in downtown Boulder City, a very small town, with small shops and restaurants lining the street. Great stop before or after visiting Hoover Dam.

Great laughable stop. My kids loved it. Truthfully, this poor guy deserved a bronze statue!
