Hoover Dam

Worth seeing

The massive dam itself is a pretty impressive site to behold. The upper-level overlook gives you a gorgeous view of Lake Mead and the Colorado River. But definitely take the guided tour. Not only will you learn about the dam’s history, but you get to descent 500 feet down into the canyon wall and see eight huge generators. Pretty cool! Cross the street from the main visitor center to check out the dramatic, 32-foot-high, winged bronze sculptures. These art deco masterpieces are supposed to bring gamblers luck (though they didn’t help me – I still lost my shirt). Located just 30 miles southwest of Vegas, it’s a quick trip for anyone visiting Sin City.
