Theater Level Displays - Murals, maps, photos & other displays provide an introduction to the Hoover Dam.

Theater One - "How the West was Won" is a presentation which describes the contribution of the Bureau of Reclamation in taming the rivers, helping to settle the West and growing the food that feeds the nation.

The Power Plant Generators - Take the large elevators 500 feet down into the walls of the Black Canyon to walk through a 250-foot long tunnel and view the 650-foot long Nevada wing of the power plant and its eight huge generators.

Penstock Viewing Platform - View one of the four huge 30-foot-diameter pipes that can transport nearly 90,000 gallons of water each second from Lake Mead to the hydroelectric generators in the powerhouse.

The Exhibit Gallery - These exhibits highlight some of the natural history of the region and present a picture of how the Hoover Dam was constructed and how it presently operates.

The Overlook - Enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the Dam, Lake Mead & the Colorado River.

Next, travel to historic Boulder City! Enjoy a picture perfect view of Lake Mead before stopping at the oldest hotel in town, the Boulder Dam Hotel, a member of the "historic hotels of America" and voted #4 of the 10 most haunted hotels in America.

We treat you to lunch inside the dining room or on the terrace of this quaint hotel. With a recipe direct from Italy, the Penne Pasta with Tomatoes & Mushrooms is a crowd favorite, each portion is individually made, so if you are a tomato lover this is the dish for you (meal included).
