Hoover Dam

Hoover Dam - Only 30 miles south
of Las Vegas and Las Vegas Hotels is one of mans
greatest architectural achievements. Still in operation since the 30's
supplying electrical power to Nevada, Arizona and California, it is
truly a wonder to see. Visitors can actually go into the depths of the
dam and tour the inner workings. Or you can peer over the edge of the
nearly 800 foot drop while standing in two time zones at once! A nearby
museum shows movies and artifacts involving it's creation. The beautiful
new visitors center, at the edge of the dam, opened in September 95 and
ironically enough cost much more to build than the dam itself did 60
years ago. Open 9:00am-4:15pm daily. Adm: $5 Adults, $2.50 Seniors &
Children 10-16, Children under 10 free; Includes tour of dam and movie.
