Do you know?

That Hoover Dam is one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern Engineering World?
That Black Canyon (where Hoover Dam is located) is even hotter during July than the rest of Las Vegas?
That it is terrific to stand with one leg in Nevada and one leg in Arizona, but that it is terrifying to look over the edge at the Colorado River waaaaay down there?
That you can make a light bulb light up by turning a wheel when you're in the visitor's center?
That Arizona looks just like Nevada when you're standing on the center of the Hoover Dam?
That you should visit Hoover Dam in October or April because July is too hot?
That even if there is a big thick plate of safety glass between you and that really long drop-off down the face of the dam to the river that it is scary to stand there?
