Hoover Dam was once known as Boulder Dam, and was built between 1931 and 1936. Nearly a million people a year tour the Hoover Dam, and with good reason. It’s a spectacle of outsized proportions, including being 726 feet tall, 1,244 feet across and 660 feet thick at its base. The structure weighs an incredible 6.6 million tons. If you think your heart races at the blackjack table, just wait until you see Hoover Dam! Again, seek out a tour company that provides a tour tailored to your interests and time availability. Airbridge Tours offers a half-day tour from Las Vegas, as well as its Hoover
Dam City Deluxe Tour. Another option is to combine a Hoover Dam tour with a stop at Lake Mead for a cruise. Lake Mead is the largest man-made lake in the western hemisphere, and provides a calming break from the hustle and bustle of The Strip. There are so many treats for the senses, you’re likely to feel you don’t have enough time for everything. But you only live once! Plan more time than you think you’ll need, and make sure to work with a tour company with lots of options, a friendly, helpful staff and a perfect safety record.
