    You have to go to Lake Mead and Hoover Dam. You can also take a helicopter trip over the lake and the river, it's usually a good value (I think $25).

    Hoover Dam. I don't have to say much about this site.

    Hoover dam is the project that took Las Vegas by suprise.
    When the South Italian and other Europeans started to build this Hoover Dam in 1940s
    Great construction and it's about 30 miles when you are driving in from the state of Arizona.
    Great wrok of construction

    Take a trip over to Hoover Dam and see this engineering marvel first hand. It is a short drive there from Las Vegas. We left Las Vegas en route to Flagstaff and went right over the dam. There are tours of the dam.
    I could tell you how many million tons of cement went in to making the dam. That is just a number until you see it with your own eyes. It is huge! It looked like the pictures I had seen but the pictures did not show just how big it is. This picture is from the lake side.

    Hoover Dam is worth a stop if you want to get away from the glitz of Las Vegas for awhile. Unfortunately, we were not able to take the tour they offer but it was kinda cool to get out of the car and look around a little.

    I thought that Lake Mead was so pretty. When we stopped at the Hoover Dam and we were looking around I thought that the contrast between bright blue Lake Mead and the surrounding red rocks was magnificent!

  • Hoover Dam/Lake Mead -Check it out-- Its about 1 hour drive outside of the city. You can make this a half day trip if you leave early and beat the crowds. So Very scenic!

  • If you are traveling to Vegas, the obligatory thing to do is to see the Hoover dam. You also should take in one of the little "classes" on how/when/why the structure was built. It was very fascinating.
