Boulder City.

AOPA gives these numbers for rental cars:
Enterprise 702/4547-0066/prior req
Boulder City Motors 3 1/2 mi 702/293-2000/trans provided

Do take the time to overfly the dam on the way in, its a fabulous
site from the air, but of course "don't linger". There is typically a
high density of tour traffic over the area, including helicopters at
3000'. The tradition is to self-announce on the grand canyon
frequency (120.65). You'll hear people saying things like "...
right turns above the dam at 3500". Boulder City is 8 miles
to the south west.
