Halfway down the mighty Colorado River sits the tamed Lake Mead, a result of the unstoppable Hoover Dam. Here, you explore one of the largest manmade lakes in the world and learn the fascinating history behind the revolutionary Hoover Dam and why it is so critically important to the United States.

Discover the behind-the-scenes story of why the Hoover Dam was considered an innovative engineering feat when it was built in 1935. During your time at the dam, take a tour that is led by a professional guide and learn interesting historical facts about the dam's making. At the end of your tour, spend time perusing interactive exhibits on your own.

Next, board the authentically-designed paddle-wheeler Desert Princess for a take a breaking cruise on the charming Lake Mead. Head out to the promenade deck and bask in the sun's warmth as you glide as close as possible to the dam. When you're feeling hungry, head inside for a gourmet buffet and enjoy a scenic cruise past the Arizona Paint Pots and Fortification Hill.
