    Hi Adam! Northern Nevada native here! Battle born and raised! I had family that worked on that dam, knew that dog and, cried the day he died. No his name isn't "pc" for our day and age but, I think it's shameful that it looks like they are just trying to erase it. The dog's name was "Nig" yes... It's what you are thinking. But at the time that this engineering wonder was being built language and ethnic opinions were different. That dog was loved beyond measure and cared for by everyone. He was important! He was the only thing out there that gave those working on the dam some hope and joy at the end of the day. He was loved enough to have a name.

    I grew up in Boulder City in the 60s & 70s. It has changed a lot. It was a normal town then. Now it looks like a side show. A lot less people and traffic too back then. In high school I was in the marching band and we went down to the Dam to play for president Jimmy Carter...He never showed up.
    The bathrooms on the dam hang over the face of the dam with little louvered vents for windows. I took a full toilet paper roll, held one end and let the roll out the vent. The entire roll spilled out and blew across the face of the dam. I scuba dived on both sides of the dam in the park service. It was a wonderful place to grow up there back then.

    Dam good video. That bridge was dam high. Dam the water is low. Should have gone on the dam tour. The toilet paper guy had the best job, he didn't have to worry about falling off the dam cliff. Dam it sucks the dog got run over. Dam, I can't believe Dani was afraid of heights. And "where can I buy some dam bait?"

    To get to Arizona from Vegas you had to drive over the dam before the bridge was built. After 9/11, the Dam police had to check every vehicle before it crossed over the dam. Traffic would be be backed up. Especially on holiday weekends. The bridge now saves a lot of time and was long overdue. Welcome to my hometown of Vegas.

HOOVER DAM is one of the most Amazing pieces of Architecture in our History, I love it ! I Love that 1930's Art Deco Style, Beautiful ! Back in 2007 when I was there that Water Line around the sides was very THIN ! Our Drought is a bit more Serious then many think...

    When the dam was completed in 1935, it was the tallest dam in the world at 726 feet (221 meters) high. Today, it is still one of the tallest dams in the United States, and it attracts millions of visitors each year.

    Back in 2000 we took a "hard hat" tour @ the dam. We walked through alot of the tunnels in the wall & actually looked out of grates in the wall. After 9/11 happened they discontinued those tours & also regulated the traffic on the dam. That is why the bridge was built - to divert traffic away from the top of the dam.

    Welcome to Boulder City one of my home towns. I graduated high school here .
    The Boulder Theatre opened in 1932 with 550 seats and the only air conditioning in Boulder City. Earl Brothers, who owned and operated the theater, ran movies 24 hours a day to accommodate all shifts of the hot and exhausted workers building Boulder Dam.
    The theater continued to show movies and host special community and school events until 1997, when it was purchased and then restored by Amy and Desi Arnaz Jr. The theatre then hosted live ballet produced by Amy Arnaz. The old restored homes right off NV Highway were homes that the managers building the Dam lived in. Most homes on the alphabet streets were homes that the builders lived in. Most of these homes have been restored and are national landmarks. The old Boulder City hotel on Arizona St. is also known to be haunted.

    Also, that bridge is 880 ft above the Colorado River... The Stratosphere is 1,149ft over Vegas... So you are right the Stratosphere is higher.
