We walked up to and over the bypass and it was great - next time we want to visit the Dam itself.

4/5 - Good

Took a tour bus to the Dam and Grand Canyon which only stopped at the damn for 10 minutes, if you want a bigger experience drive yourself and take the full Dam tour.

3 hour tour was plenty. I believe it was through MyVegasTours. Less than $50 a person.

Watch tour times for full powerhouse tour. Must be eight years old to go.
