Hoover Dam is one of the most popular tourist attractions in southern Nevada attracting visitors from around the world.
 Located just outside of Las Vegas, in Black Canyon on the Colorado River, the Hoover Dam is the highest structure of its kind in the world. Lake Mead—behind the dam— is the largest man-made lake in the United States.
Hoover Dam is an outstanding achievement, noteworthy not only for its enormous dimensions, complex design and intricate construction, but also for it's illustration of man's outstanding ability to overcome the desert's summer sun and freezing winters, the vagaries of a treacherous river, and the extreme hazards of great heights on the chasm's sheer walls.
Most Grand Canyon tours drive by or fly over Hoover Dam.
