Hoover Dam

Driving Directions To Hoover Dam from Las Vegas -click here for map- About 30 miles/45 minutes

Access US Highway 93 South and continue about 20 miles to Boulder City. In Boulder City, take a left at the second stoplight in town (there are only 2 of them). Continue on US 93 to the Dam on the Nevada/Arizona border (about 7 miles from Boulder City). (Note: The highway runs right across the top of the dam).

Traffic Advisory: Motorists can expect periodic delays on Highway 93 approaching Hoover Dam because of construction associated with the Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge. Also, all vehicles are required to undergo a security inspection prior to crossing the dam.

Parking at the Dam

A 459-space parking garage is located on the Nevada side of the dam tucked into a canyon across the road from the Visitor Center. The parking garage charges a cash-only $7.00 fee. Access to the Visitor Center is most convenient from this parking garage. However, oversized vehicles, recreational vehicles, and vehicles with trailers must use the parking lots on the Arizona side of the dam. Across the dam on the Arizona side, you will find free open-air parking lots. You can easily park here and walk across the top of the dam to the visitor center.

You can walk around the site, into the gift shops, café, museum and across the actual dam for free, or you can go on a tour.

Take plenty of water if going during the summer months (temperatures can get up to 115 degrees).
