rented a car, drove down there, got out of the car in 116 degree heat, got back in and left.

I was there though

Did you close the car door or stand there with it open & the AC on full blast?

Anyway it's worth it.

UGA if you take the dam tour please take a lot of dam pictures and if you have a lot of dam questions make sure you get the dam questions answered by the dam tour guide.

I didn't take the tour but back in 1997 my girlfriend and I drove from Tuscon to Vegas over the course of 2 days and stopped at the dam on the way to Vegas. I thought it was awesome. I'd be curious to see how Lake Mead looks as that region is in terrible drought. I say at least go and see it.

I've never done this tour. Somewhat considered it the few times when I went out to LV with an intrepid girlfriend(4-gf trips/35 not so much) or another that kinda wanted to. What's amazing is how they built this thing back in, what, the 40's? This was FDR's thing, right?

And how many people got killed and hurt building it? A lot, I think I remember from TV stuff.

Whatever the case, a 2 hour 'tour' would test my patience, but going up there for a bit would be pretty interesting.

to learn about the dam you are better off watching it on the history channel...tour imo is brutal...did it twice...couldn't wait for it to end...

UGA: I really like going to the dam, but never have taken the tour. Just drive up and check it out. I can see how some people might think it is lame, but I think it is a pretty cool experience.

i pass the dam when i drive to vegas & agree that the view is pretty amazing...but after about 10-15 mnutes i am ready to get back in my car & head to vegas...

Tonight at 9 on National geographic channel (267 on DirecTv)

Hoover Dam Reinvented
Engineers redesign the dam built in the 1930s to show how it would be constructed today.

Took the tour ($30, guided) this morning and really enjoyed it.If you have not been there in a few years they have apparently changed some things. They have built a new welcoming center and changed some of the tour. Amazing sight, both inside the dam and outside. Got there at 8:30 just ahead of the crowd. By the time we left it was swamped with traffic at a crawl all the way back to the first piece of shit casino. If you go take a bottled water because once your in they sell no drinks:nono: BTW just as amazing is the new sky bridge they are builing across the river:scared
