England YouTuber “Ajdpadbury” is my guest host on this video, about our visit to Hoover Dam, which sits on the border of Nevada and Arizona, not far from Las Vegas. The video also shows how construction   more...is progressing on the bypass highway that will one day speed motorists past Hoover Dam, instead of having to do the “snail paced” crawl across the dam that currently occurs on the narrow two lane road.

Hoover Dam was constructed between 1931 and 1936. It cost $165 million to build and took 4,400,000 CUBIC YARDS of CONCRETE!! The dam is 726.4 feet tall.

The Lake Mead water level “crests” at the dam at a height of 1,232 feet above sea level. The current water level is only at about 1,110 feet high. Rapidly expanding Las Vegas gets 90% of its water from Lake Mead. If the water level were to ever drop below 1,000 feet, then Vegas would be in HUGE trouble, since the water intakes for Vegas are set at that level. Here’s an interesting website that charts the water levels of Lake Mead: http://www.arachnoid.com/NaturalResources/index.html and here’s a website with more statistics about the dam: http://www.usbr.gov/dataweb/dams/nv10122.htm
