Hoover Dam

Very interesting tour! Gets you right in the bowels of what a Dam is all about for electricity. Was a bit scarey to be locked in one of the rooms where if they open side tubes of over flow water the room would be in the path. I think I saw where they had to use this over flow recently! I was impressed!

I’ve been to Las Vegas a few times, mainly for work, but would like to see this because it is so close.

I thought it was much bigger than that, but maybe the size of the dam was messed up due to the lack of water surrounding it due to drought. Plus it’s 11 dollars for a tour that isn’t really worth it if you read about the dam before you go.

hot, concrete, boring as hell.

This was just unreal, I was so excited about being able to drive over the dam, and last summer I was able to do it. If you are into technology in any way you will fall in love. The green water and the way it bleached the rocks was amazing.

It was better than all my expectations.

Temp about 110, and just like a blast furnace.
I especially liked the winged sculptures of the Republic. I even rubbed their toes for luck.

My grandparents took me here on vacation when I was about 10. I had just gotten my first camera that year for my birthday, you remember, those little 110 film cameras. Anyway, the camera ended up in Hoover Dam and I ended up crying. 10 year olds cant seem to hold on to anything. hehehe

Very cool to see in person. Drove through on a trip to Vegas.

it’s definitely worth the trip… go EARLY in the day… the traffic gets crazy!

Not as big as I envisioned it to be. However, the views from the top are spectacular. Go “underground” and take the tour… it’ll make sense when you get there.
