In reply to Lisa Chavis. There's much more of it that I didn't include in this post!

Very cool! I learned so much here about the dam – and I love the Art Deco!

In reply to Doreen Pendgracs. I don't know if it's down from then, but it certainly was quite low when we visited in December.

In reply to Carolina Colborn. Stop next time and look for the art deco: there's quite a lot of it, especially around the memorial on the Nevada side.

We pass by the Hoover Dam every time we go to Vegas from Phoenix and back (this year it would be three times since Vegas is a favorite place for reunions: family, high school classmates, former company officemates). Bill and I did go take a self-guided tour once. But your dam tour guide must have made it very enjoyable. But your exploration of the art deco details is quite interesting! Didn’t notice them, And your close-up photos of the dam bring in such great perspective!

We took the Hoover Dam tour in 2009 and loved it! I was amazed at how interesting it was to learn about the dam and the increasing water shortage in the American southwest. I noticed how low the water was then. Would be curious to see how much it’s gone down in the past 9 years.

I haven’t been here yet. But it must be a real sight to see. Nice post.
