Just a short drive from <strong>the</strong> glitter and glamour of Vegas, <strong>the</strong> amazing Hoover Dam is a<br />

testimony to a country’s ability to construct monolithic projects in <strong>the</strong> midst of adverse<br />

conditions. Built during <strong>the</strong> Great Depression between 1931 and 1935, thousands of<br />

men and <strong>the</strong>ir families came to Black Canyon to tame <strong>the</strong> Colorado River. It took less<br />

than five years to build <strong>the</strong> largest dam of its time. Now, 70 years later, Hoover Dam<br />

still stands as a world-renowned structure. Hoover Dam is a National Historic Landmark<br />

and has been called one of <strong>the</strong> Seven Engineering Wonders of <strong>the</strong> Modern World.<br />

This engineering marvel not only enabled <strong>the</strong> industrial development of <strong>the</strong> Pacific<br />

Southwest, but it also forms Lake Mead, <strong>the</strong> largest man-made reservoir in <strong>the</strong> Western<br />

Hemisphere. History comes to life as you tour <strong>the</strong> interior of this 72-story structure,<br />

see its powerplant, and view some fascinating exhibits.<br />

This unique and intimate tour will take you over 500’ down in one of our enormous elevators<br />

to <strong>the</strong> Nevada wing of <strong>the</strong> power plant where you overlook <strong>the</strong> massive 7-story<br />

tall generators. Then, on to <strong>the</strong> adit where you are standing on <strong>the</strong> top of a giant 30 ft.<br />

pipe, feeling <strong>the</strong> rush and hearing <strong>the</strong> rumble as <strong>the</strong> water races through it.<br />

Next it’s into <strong>the</strong> dam proper, entering <strong>the</strong> inspection access tunnels. <strong>View</strong> some of <strong>the</strong><br />

inspection markings written on <strong>the</strong> walls from decades past <strong>the</strong>n peek out <strong>the</strong> vents<br />

down onto <strong>the</strong> river below. After that, go into <strong>the</strong> tunnels deeper and view <strong>the</strong> seepage<br />

wall along with an incredible set of antique stairs that can only be described as The<br />

Stairway to Heaven.<br />

Last but not least, don’t forget to visit <strong>the</strong> observation deck where you will get a spectacular<br />

view of <strong>the</strong> dam and Lake Mead beyond, along with <strong>the</strong> Hoover Dam bypass<br />

bridge currently under construction.<br />

This tour lasts about one and a half hours. All persons and personal items entering <strong>the</strong><br />

dam will go through a magnetometer, (just like airport security). The tour will consist<br />

of over a mile of walking on concrete or similar surfaces, so wear comfortable shoes<br />

and clothing.<br />
