Yet another Vegas expedition was the Hoover Dam, a massive, tall structure over the Colorado River, which provides water and electricity to millions of Americans!
Fun facts: It was named after the US President Herbert Hoover, and spans two time zones - Pacific in Nevada and Mountain in Arizona.
An hour away from our hotel, it was a beautiful, scenic drive. We had a couple of viewpoints from across the dam from where we could take pictures, and we even stood from a different walkway which allowed us to look at the architecture and construction of different parts of the dam and related components.
Similar to most of the historic places in the US, here too we got to learn about its rich history and background into its durable construction. It is signified as one of the enduring spirits of the American achievement.
I have not had the opportunity to visit the Hoover Dam, but it would definitely be a sight to see. And I had no idea it stretched into two time zones!
