Hoover Dam 
Description
An engineering masterpiece that created both a Hydroelectric power station and a source of drinking water for the growing Las Vegas, as well as creating thousands of jobs during the depression. The dam is still producing power today (though due to the chronically low water levels in Lake Mead that is at a much reduced level). It is possible to book tours that drive across the top of the dam itself, but for the best views of the dam you need to go to the Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge opposite the dam where you can take in the full sweep of the dam wall.
