Visit Hoover Dam

The Hoover Dam, formerly known as the Boulder Dam, is situated on Highway 93 at the Arizona-Nevada border. Southeast of Las Vegas, it is 30 miles away. The Hoover Dam is approximately 90 years old.

The Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, which is located just in front of the dam, should be your first stop. The bridge, which is the tallest concrete arch bridge in the world, was built so traffic would no longer have to drive across the top of the dam. If you don't mind walking across the canyon, there are parking lots on the Arizona side of the canyon that provide free parking (arrive early because it fills up quickly) if you're on a tight budget. On the Arizona side, there is a more convenient lot that is charged. You may walk across the bridge on a free walkway and enjoy stunning views of Hoover Dam.
