Why You’ll Love It

The Hoover Dam, located on the border of Arizona and Nevada, was completed in 1936 during the Great Depression. It is a massive concrete arch-gravity dam that spans the Colorado River, creating Lake Mead, one of the largest reservoirs in the United States. The dam serves as a crucial water resource for the surrounding region, generating hydroelectric power and providing irrigation water for agriculture.

There are multiple helicopter tours in town that combine a Hoover Dam visit with the Grand Canyon if you want to spend the entire day exploring these two landmarks. If not, stop for lunch and antique stores in Boulder City.
