I still have one question, on the Boulder1 out of VGT is it just assumed you will fly the publish procedure unless you tell them you can't meet the climb gradient in which case you do the visual climb or is the visual climb the one that is normally used? And if you do the visual climb where do you fly while climbing, does tower tell you?

If you do file the SID I am sure you can request the visual climb, in which case you need 2100-3, as it seems like the Visual Climb in the SID is one that seems to be often used as it is stated on the plate.
As for where to fly on the visual climb, if you look at the bottom of the chart under 'Route Descriptions' it states:

For climb in visual conditions: cross North Las Vegas Airport at or above 4200 then via BLD VORTAC R-294 to BLD VORTAC.

I am assuming after BLD you then are going to get a 'proceed as filed' or a vector towards your route.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong as I have never flown there.
Also, are you even able to file a SID for which you don't meet a climb gradient for any of the runways? I am guessing this is an exception since it states the option of a visual climb?
