- Hoover Dam - Built in the 1930s by a workforce of 21,000 men using materials sourced from every state, Hoover Dam stands 726 feet tall and is 660 feet thick at its base to withstand water pressure of 45,000 pounds per square foot. The dam contains 4.5 million cubic yards of concrete, enough to construct a four-foot-wide sidewalk encircling the Earth at the Equator. During peak electricity demand, the water flowing through the generators each second could fill 15 average-sized swimming pools.
From the decks of the Desert Princess, visitors can appreciate why Hoover Dam is recognized as a National Historic Landmark. It draws seven million visitors annually, showcasing the impressive scale of this marvel of nature and human innovation.
