Wake Up in Vegas and Wrap Up Your Trip in Phoenix
It's the final day of your monster road trip throughout the Southwest. You'll explore the land around Lake Mead, tour the Hoover Dam and see a few other sights before heading back to where it all began in Phoenix. The last leg of the road trip is a long one, so pace yourself. It's another busy day.

Hoover Dam Visitor Center
Travel Agency
Open Details
See the Hoover Dam, the 726-foot-tall concrete marvel that closed off the Colorado River to create Lake Mead.
A few different tours are available, but today you'll take a simple self-guided Visitors Center tour, which is next to the dam itself and allows you to view exhibits at your own pace. The true highlight is the upstairs deck, which has sweeping views of the Hoover Dam and is absolutely the best place to snap photos.
Reserve tickets online. A convenient parking garage is next door and requires a fee.
