  • I had been to the dam quite a few years ago but my wife had not so we took the short drive from Boulder City to the Hoover dam on a Saturday morning in mid-January. We had read other reviews where others commented on the amount of time it took to arrive at the dam due to traffic and congestion. Luckily, we did not experience any of that! The flow of cars from the main highway to the dam was not backed up and we were able to park easily. We followed the directional signs for the tours and went through the security area. We asked about the tour times and were told the power plant tour occurred every 15 minutes but that the next full dam tour was in two hours. We thought about it and decided this was likely the only time we would do the tour and thought it would be best to do the full dam tour. We purchased the tickets and explored the various areas of the dam including the 10 minute video, the observation deck, we walked about half way to 2/3 of the width of the dam, looked at the exhibits, grabbed a drink at the cafe and stopped into the gift shop to buy a magnet and dropped coats off at the car. We felt like this allowed us to see all the areas of the dam prior to the tour and worked out just fine, 2 hours outside of whichever dam tour you chose seems to be just right. However, if you want to walk up to the new bypass bridge or across it you would need more time. We arrived at the tour location about 10 minutes early and they ran through some basic information before our tour guide Court (unsure of spelling) invited us to join him. We looked out the floor to ceiling windows and he gave us some dam details and pointed out one of the shield shaped vents within the dam wall and told us that we would be soon standing in that tunnel 54 stories down! I won't give all the various details of the tour so you can experience the information first hand. We would highly recommend the full tour but if you are pressed for time the power plant tour (which is the first half of the full tour) is cool too! Thanks to Court for a great tour, he was funny and informative and invited questions. You can tell he enjoys what he does! To think of all the blood, sweat and tears that went into planning and constructing this piece of America is truly incredible!
