Hoover Dam a Concrete Wonder in Las Vegas
Thursday, April 15th, 2010

Walk the world famous Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada and you’ll quickly be overwhelmed by the immense grandeur of the resorts and casinos. Each building represents an awe-inspiring work of art.

Yet, for all of the amazing architecture in Las Vegas, one of the world’s most intriguing architectural wonders is located about 30 miles southeast of Vegas. Hoover Dam, a massive concrete arch-gravity dam sits in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between Arizona and Nevada.

When completed in 1936 after 5 years of construction, the dam was the world’s largest hydroelectric power generating station and the world’s largest concrete structure. Today it remains a working masterpiece of technology and architecture while also being a National Historic Landmark.

Named after Herbert Hoover for his role in the dam’s construction, first as Secretary of Commerce and later as the 31st President of the United States, the dam created a huge reservoir called Lake Mead which has become a popular recreational area and the nation’s largest man-made lake.

Hoover Dam, considered one of the Top 10 Construction Achievements of the 20th Century, is now also one of the Las Vegas area’s biggest draws and attracts more than one million visitors per year.

The historical dam sits in stark contrast to one of the most recent architectural wonders back on the Las Vegas strip, the 52-story Planet Hollywood Towers by Westgate. The area’s newest luxury resort sits adjacent to the existing Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino and offers guests exceptional shopping, dining, gaming and entertainment options plus an exotic tropical pool surrounded by white sand.
