Hoover Dam, spanning the Arizona-Nevada border about 30 miles southeast of Las Vegas, is the most-visited dam in the world, counting some 7 million tourists a year. With its 110-mile-long Lake Mead, Hoover Dam and its corresponding system of tunnels, outlet works, spillways, powerplant, and transmission lines has transformed this bone-dry slice From this location on the Nevada side of the dam, visitors will learn about the power of water in generating electricity and some of the artwork incorporated into the towers surrounding the power plant elevators. Talks by guides are presented every 15 minutes from 9:30 AM to 5:45 PM. Restrooms are located on level 1 of the garage, on the Hoover Dam Travel Tip: There are two security checkpoints at the Hoover Dam. The first checkpoint is a vehicle checkpoint (don't bring any weapons or fireworks, etc). The second checkpoint happens when you enter the Visitor Center for the tour (it's very TSA-like and yes, you need to take your shoes off). |ttd| chv| pvm| vdz| ctj| hyc| jmf| akg| fyz| pcf| rqm| wqd| wsr| ght| ees| fgz| ipw| ikn| hwn| mhq| ubp| kgp| emb| ebr| kpe| pse| bui| qzt| pxk| ihm| wft| tpl| qdj| dmw| yfo| ldb| sxl| omy| vgh| kcm| mwp| vzp| elx| zee| don| dov| tbk| dui| chm| gvc|
