    I haven’t seen the Hoover Dam in 20+ years! And even then, we didn’t go inside, just drove across it and stopped to take pics. So cool!! Glad I got to see it through you all!

      Security is like crossing the border and going to an airplane. With the renovations, it looks much nicer. And they are still doing more renovations. Walking it from the outside is my favorite part.

    Never been! I’m jealous. Beautiful shots. Love that you inserted the dam movie clip! I feel like everyone should see this. We will get there one day! That bridge is scary looking from that angel

    And Randy Quaid says.... Yeah where can I get some dam bait 😅 I wouldn't be able to go there without thinking of that scene either lol
    Looks like they won't even need a dam pretty soon. Pretty cool tour!

      LOL, I actually had it in. But ended up cutting it. I usually try to keep all clips 6 seconds or less ( to play it safe). Classic scene for sure. If the water goes down all the way, I think the whole south west goes empty. Provides power and water to those key areas.

    The best Dam video I've seen in a long time! This place is truly incredible, think about the man hours it took to build it back then. Enjoyed it Carl

      They didn't mess around for sure. Heard over 100 folks died making the Dam. Probalby not the safest job but bet it payed well.

    We enjoyed the dam tour! We stopped at Hoover Dam on a road trip from Vegas to the Grand Canyon a few years before I started the channel. But we just looked at it from the outside. We didn't stop long enough to take the tour so it was fascinating to see inside. Glad the lake levels have risen a bit. Thanks for the tour!

    • @SantosChronicles

      Don't you wish you had the camera back then. I have started calling that Vloggers remorse. The place is so massive and glad we finally were able to take Rosalie there.

    Nice dam tour. Elevator looked pretty dam crowded though. Hard to believe that much dam electricity is created by those dam generators. The dam water has risen a dam lot since the last dam time I was there.

      LOL! Yea, I think the last time we went you were with us. I was a bit nervous about this place because it gives water and electricity to many people. If it ran out, that would be bad for the southwest.

    I had the chance to go there a long time ago on a business trip and wasn't able to make it. Haha, there was a Bill Nye show where he talked about the Hoover Dam and he kept saying, "That's a LOT of DAM Power!! That is a construction marvel for sure! Ya the elevator would NOT have been my favorite! Great tour!

    • @SantosChronicles
      @SantosChronicles  6 місяців тому

      They really stepped up security over there. It was like crossing into Mexico before you park and the airport as you go in. That would not have been a fun or safe job building this. Still can't believe how much power and water folks receive from this Dam in CA, NV, and Arizona. Hopefully Lake Mead fills up more.

    Dam, that was a great tour! Haven't been there for years, cool to see some changes, since I was there last. The highway bridge was not there when I was there last...hopefully that makes traffic flow in and out quicker!

    • @SantosChronicles
      @SantosChronicles  6 місяців тому

      Security definitely has stepped up here and they are still renovating. Much better now than it was in the 90's. Yea, it is not as congested as it use to be. Thanks for watching.

    When I visited in 2018, the hour tour was not available due to the reconstruction that was going on. There’s a pedestrian pathway that goes across half of the Pat Tillman bridge that gives some great views of the dam. You could easily spend a full day there. In 2022, they were almost at the point of shutting some of the water off because the levels dropped so much. Looks like you guys had great weather the day you were there

    • @SantosChronicles
      @SantosChronicles  6 місяців тому +1

      We lucked out on the weather for sure and glad the water levels are back up. I think the Southwest part of US would be empty if the dam went empty.

      You can drive through and take photos. But I would recommend to just pay for parking and walk around. The Tour is not required to do that. A lot of great views from the top of the Dam. Really surprised you never made it here. Have a good weekend!

    The Hoover dam makes me think of that scene in the original Superman movie when it cracks open from the missile that Lex Luther launched. I never realized it was right on the border.
