Short drive from Vegas. To enjoy the view you got to see the Dam from the bridge opposite. It gets hot out there so do take some water. After walking the bridge and the Dam and taking the obligatory photos you can be done in under an hour. Glad we took the time to see the sheer size of it. More

I get a lot of grief from friends and family for enjoying this place so much, but don't care too much about that! This is something everyone should see and study!

It is awesome to see something that was built to that extreme that many years ago, the technology was incredible More

This is a must see attraction if you are in the area! We loved it. If you go just as it is getting dark, it will take your breath with all the lights that surround the dam.. loved it! More

The lifts were not working on the day we visited so we could only do the visitor centre tour and the exhibitions. They did put an extra slide show on. The dam is huge and we found it very interesting learning about how it was constructed and why. More
