If you are taking a roadtrip west or going to Vegas or somewhere in the middle you'd be a fool to pass up an opportunity to see this amazing engineering wonder. It still dumbfounds me that this dam could be built. We do amazing things and this is a testament to what we're capable of.

Superb piece of engineering. Very hot outside as you walk along the top of the dam to take photos so ensure you have water with you. Loved the view from the outside. We wanted to take the $30 per head tour of the dam where you get to go down into the guts of the dam but it was not... More

The $8 admin fee for the visitor center is worth it. The 1st floor has interactive displays, videos, and story boards that answers many of the common dam questions. The top deck gives you elevated views of the dam. While you are looking and picture taking there is a audio narration playing over outdoor speakers that explains what you are... More

It is very impressive and... More

Very interesting exhibits and knowledgeable guides. The drive there is great too and has some cool views.

We did the rafting trip with them and got to go to the bottom of the dam. The views were awesome and well worth the price. Would recommend to anyone... More

If you rate man's incredible ingenuity, this work of engineering is up there with Sydney harbour bridge, the Pyramids, the Eiffel Tower and the Tower of London. Ignore the cheap skate comments about not taking the tour - it's worth every penny.I would park the other side for free mind you. Going down inside and listening to the tale of... More

Wow! ... It's an engineering wonder, huge and fantastic to look at. You can park up for $7 and take the short walk down to the dam Ensure you read all the plaques with the information on

A must see! We booked a double trip to Hoover Dam and paddle steamer on Lake Mead from a company on the Las Vegas Strip. It will save you a few hours if you book to go my SUV rather than coach, as the coach stops at a number of hotels to pick up and drop off people. Our tour... More
