If you're a total geek, like I am, be sure to take the "hardhat tour" of Hoover Dam. Very interesting.

went to Vegas last year but couldn't pull myself out of the casinos long enough to go take the tour (*facepalm*)
prior to 9/11 trucks were allowed to drive across the top of the dam, when I was an OTR driver I made it through there a half dozen times or so...stopped a couple times and walked around for a while but never had time for a tour...
that hairpin turn in the lower left side of the pic was a bit of a challenge...two trucks going opposite directions couldn't fit through there at the same time, so you had to announce that you were going into the hairpin on the CB radio...
