So I'll post a few more Hoover Dam photos this week, then move on. This is a view of the Nevada Powerplant that one can tour if you visit the dam. There are a couple of tours you can take, a 30-minute tour or a one hour tour. I got there relatively late in the day and just took the 30-minute tour. You take an elevator 530 down through the canyon walls to the power plant.
The powerplant room is 650 long. The Nevada side houses 8 generators while the Arizona side (which you can't tour) houses 9 generators. If you take a tour, take a few moments to take in the art-deco interior of the powerplant rooms and the designs set in the terrazzo floors. If we were building this today, I suspect the floors would be just rough concrete!
