Thanks for the wonderful comments and so glad you had the opportunity to visit this civil engineering landmark, the Hoover Dam. After nearly 90 years when it was built, it still attracts nearly one million visitors a year and so glad once again you could see it live! Your comments are greatly appreciated and will be passed on to Bill.

We booked this trip after another company, adventure tours, never responded to my friend's inquiry. Gonzalo picked us up at MGM Grand Saturday morning on time and allowed us to grab quick breakfast to go. The drive to Hoover dam was quick and we stopped at Boulder City museum, where the workers of the dam were housed by the federal government. Hoover Dam was a tremendous feat and accomplishment back in 1931 and finished in 1935. After viewing the dam from the extension bridge above which connects Arizona and Nevada, we toured the outside of the dam. Due to the pandemic, we were not allowed inside to view the generators. When the short tour was over for the dam, we asked Gonzalo if we could take a boat tour on Lake Mead, which wasn't part of our excursion. Gonzalo called his office and after an extra upcharge, he drove us down to Lake Mead marina where we caught the 12 pm replica steamboat with paddle boards. This took us to the dam through the Mead basin which lasted for 90 minutes. All in all, turned out to be a great full day tour with perfect 75 degree non humidity weather.
