We took a round trip tour of Las Vegas, or if you are going to the Grand Canyon it is very worthwhile to know this gigantic and impressive dam is located between the states of Nevada and Arizona, in the city of Boulder City, about 50km from Las Vegas. , the size of the dam is huge, it dams the huge Lake Mead (Lake Mead National Recreation Area), the contrast between the water and the desert region is beautiful, these waters aided the development of the city of Las Vegas, you pass through this grand before arriving at Hoover Dam. And for those who enjoy cinema, it's worth mentioning that the movies Superman (1978), Transformers (2007) and Earthquake: The San Andreas Fault (2007) had scenes shot at Hoover Dam. We went by car, There are paid parking and free parking on site, to access the free parking, just go over the dam by car, and access the sites, before the dam has a paid parking building. Admission to the dam is free but controlled and the trick is to stop by the road to take pictures of the most beautiful spots on Lake Mead and the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge until you reach the large parking pockets of Hoover Dam. Nevada-side, Arizona-side parking both cost $ 10 per vehicle, but those who don't mind walking a little further can go on to the smaller parking lots that are free. After parking your car, you can explore the Hoover Dam outside for free, or take one of the tours to visit the inner areas more deeply. Another attraction is crossing the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Bridge through the pedestrian platform: Be sure to cross the bridge (on foot and by car) the experiences are different and complementary. It was very interesting the tour, which yielded impressive photos.

Hemenway Park

Reviewed By shescrapbooks - Penfield, United States

I’m so glad I discovered this park while researching our trip on trip advisor! It’s a great little park all in it’s own. We stopped by in the morning and kids played on the playground and my husband and I meandered around and enjoyed the views of Lake Mead. No big horn sheep were around. After a full day exploring the Hoover dam, we decided to stop back and were so glad we did! The big horn sheep were grazing in the grass and I was surprised how close they came to us! We did not disturb them at all, but they were fun to watch for a bit!

Reviewed By MikeH305 - Phoenix, United States

Art Deco sculptures that are on the side of the dam. These are bronze and very large winged angels I would say and beautifully done. Got to park and walk to them to get a good view.
