Hoover Dam/Lake Mead: Hoover Dam
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • The impressive Hoover Dam is located approximately 30 miles southeast of Las Vegas. This dam, which was built in the 1930's during the Great Depression, is enormous and tall. Its location in a canyon, the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, makes a beautiful sight. The surrounding desert and extreme heat give you the impression of how tough it was to build this structure and the pain and suffering of the workers. Parking at the dam is $5 and a complete guided tour is $10 per adult. Take I-515 east/south from Las Vegas; it later becomes U.S. Highway 93 South which will lead to Hoover Dam at the Nevada/Arizona border.

     You have a lot of good LV tips. I took my son when he was 14 and we enjoyed the Tournament of Kings, loved Lance Burton and went out to see Hoover Dam. I'm taking him back now that he's 21!
