| - A great diversion from Las Vegas, only about an hours drive from the city, but well worth it. I took the $15.00 tour, and enjoyed the trip. The tour guide was amazingly knowledgeable, and all the staff I encountered were very friendly and helpful. Be sure to walk across the whole dam, because the views of it, and from it are pretty spectacular. The kids I saw there seemed to enjoy, and so did "this" kid.
And, be sure to walk up on the new bypass bridge where you get great photo opportunities of the dam as well.
The only thing I was annoyed at was the $10.00 parking fee at the visitor center and adjoining parking lot. But, if you drive over the dam to the Arizona side, and go to the lots just past the dam (#s 10 and 11), parking is free, and you get an opportunity to walk across the whole thing - about 10 minutes for most people.
