Hoover Dam

4.4/5
336 reviews
Hoover Dam is located on the border of Nevada and Arizona in the northwest, on Interstate 93, spanning theColorado River. It is one of the largest dams in the United States and is also known as the Diamond in the Desert. Hoover Dam is a little over 1 hour's drive from Las Vegas and was a filming location for the movie "Transformers". If you have limited time, it is recommended to visit the upper level of the dam to overlook the stunning structure, or walk onto the MJ & Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge opposite, where you can stand and overlook the full panoramic view of the Hoover Dam below. If you have plenty of time, you might want to go down to the base of the dam, enter the dam, and visit the visitor center. Of course, if you are still interested in the dam, you can buy a ticket to enter the power plant, where you can tour the dam's power facilities and learn how the dam operates and generates electricity.Clark County · 9.3km from Boulder City

It tells the story of a pair of twins who embark on a journey full of difficulties and obstacles to fulfill their destiny.

"KA" uses cinematic visual technology to create a dazzling effect on the scene, which is more able to express the content of the story than previous Cirque Du Soleil productions.Las Vegas · 33.1km from Boulder City

離開拉斯維加斯後來到1931年興建的胡佛水壩,位於美國亞利桑那州與內華達州交界處的全美國🇺🇸最大水壩,同時也是電影變形金拍攝場景。來到胡佛水壩最有趣的,就是因為水壩本身連接了亞利桑那州、內華達州,兩州存在著一小時的時差,因此短短幾步之間的兩座塔柱上,分別顯示了兩州不同的這時間,多走一步你就多了一個小時呢!

I watched the most expensive movie of my life, experiencing naked-eye 4D, a seamless 16K giant screen, and 360-degree surround sound in a $2.3 billion giant sphere. It was incredibly immersive. The only minor drawback was the lack of subtitles. (75 minutes of English listening practice included.)

KÀ was one of the highlights of my Las Vegas trip! The stage design and acrobatics were absolutely incredible, with huge moving platforms and spectacular effects that made the show feel like a movie brought to life on stage. The performers were extremely talented, and the choreography was impressive from beginning to end.The storytelling, music, lighting, and special effects all worked together really well. Even if you’re not usually a fan of theatre, I think KÀ is worth experiencing just for the production and visual spectacle. Definitely a memorable Vegas show!

Overall, I liked the ride! It was my first time doing something like it. My only complaint is that I didn’t get the fully immersive feeling as if I was actually in the scenes because I could see where the screens ended at the top of the ceiling. I believe my experience would’ve been much better if that wasn’t visible and that I could only see the screen. Looking down, it’s all screen and there were parts that felt very realistic, which was cool. I’d do it again
