An engineering marvel. If you're ever in the Vegas area, be sure and drive over to the Dam. It's not far from Vegas, but just over the border in Arizona. You just can't imagine how they did what they did way back in the early 1930's. According to experts, rivals or equals the construction of the pyramids in Egypt.04-cheers

Did that about ten years ago. Very interesting. They had just started building the bridge across the gorge. You still had to cross the damn to get into Nevada back then. Would like to see what the bridge looks like now that it's finished.
It's all amazing.
