Thursday, March 24, 2005: Hoover Dam Tour

Hoover Dam, without precedent the greatest construction of its day, is today still viewed in awe and acclaimed as one of the seven man-made wonders of the world. Truly a magnificent monument to man's vision and creativity and a must see for even the frequent traveler. The dam was completed in 1936 forming the world's largest man-made reservoir, Lake Mead. Officially named Hoover Dam in 1947 after President Herbert Hoover, it stretches 1,244 feet across the Colorado River and rises 44 stories above the river bottom. Visitors are given more information about the dam than ever before through a series of presentations offered by professional guides stationed at various locations around the dam site. Cameras! Ample time is allowed for picture taking.

All tours include exclusive round-trip transportation by executive mini coach narration by professional tour guide, and all admissions, taxes and gratuities. All tours are four or five hours in duration. All tours depart from the Main Entrance of the Hyatt Regency Lake Las Vegas.
