Great video. Thanks for doing it.
Now for the critics...
1) Enough of the Dam jokes.
2) Too much drama.
3) Enough with the James Bond stuff.
Careful last time I’ve seen Inside the Hoover Dam, Megatron was frozen there.
Hell of a video! My girlfriend and I did the power plant tour a couple of years ago, but we were pissed that the dam tour wasn't available that day. This is so beyond what we would've seen if the dam tour was open. Thanks so much for posting this, and I'm very glad you got to see all of that in person.
What a Dam GREAT GREAT GREAT video... Born in Phoenix in the 50's and visited... then visited again in the 70's... but never ventured into the dam... THANK YOU FOR THE NEW ADVENTURE... GREAT JOB...
please, calm down.
My dad was a Millwright and was called several times to perform the installation of those Turbines. He came out of retirement a couple times to help when there were issue with the installs and finally told them to hire someone who could retain the information. It would be pretty awesome to do a tour similar to what you just did myself.
IMO, the guide and his son were VERY accomodating and gracious with this idiot man/child! I have been a Stationary Steam Engineer all my life, making electricity with boilers and steam turbines. I was in Vegas around 1975 and took the dam tour. I was so impressed I even went to the power company headquarters and asked about getting a job there. They liked my skills and experience, and when we got down to money, they couldn't come close to what I was being paid at Detroit Edison. Oh well, nice memory.
A big THANK YOU to the Hoover Dam crew, a big THANK YOU to Obsidian Entertainment and Bethsoft/Zenimax for recreating the dam in Fallout: New Vegas, and a big THANK YOU for giving us a view of this beautiful dam!
And rockstar cause I’m sure it’s in gtav :) I love fallout!
It is absolutely AMAZING that man was able to build this especially during the time period they did it. I know a few people died during the construction but it is still absolutely jaw dropping the sheer size and magnitude of it all.
I've been here... via Fallout New Vegas :)
Did a tour in 1986 and saw everything shown in this video. After 9/11, the tour was shortened quite a bit for obvious reasons. Very fascinating structure for something built during the Depression. When you are in the penstock tunnel, it is noisy from the water rushing through those large pipes and the whole room shakes.
It's such a shame that since 9/11, we can't do the tour any more. I can honestly say that one thing we don't get in the video is the thundering power sound of the water rushing through the penstocks. I can remember being in that visitor room on top of the large penstock (for the now-closed tour) and just wanting to get the heck out of there from the thundering sound and horrible vibration of the power of the water rushing through. It was scarier than the thought of all the water behind the dam. Mike and Erik did a good job with Justin and gave us something we can't see much any more. Big thanks to everyone!
My mother's father was a Master Carpenter who worked on the dam. Fred Knott. My father's older brother was the Master Machist who installed the bearings for the water turbines. Quentin Bengtson. You will find their names in the big book the park ranger has.
I actually had to stop the video to give it a like just a couple of minutes in. I laughed 4 times already . Good stuff ! Daammmnn ! lol.
Thanks for the tour Eric, Mike and Justin ! I've been several times on the dam, what a privilege to be able to see it from the inside :)
I've been on that tour multiple times with a friend who worked there. Certainly an experience to not forget. It's too bad they didn't take you down to the bottom of the generating units. The area down there reminds me of the basement area on Tower of Terror. Another fun part is walking the entire length of the lower penstock and turning off the lights to see how dark it is. There's also some random phone that someone threw on top of the pipe and it's been sitting there for an unknown number of years. At the end of the penstock hall there this creepy area with chairs and benches and a bunch of tools from the original construction.
Other areas that would have been cool to see is the staircase that goes from the bottom to the top at a 45 degree angle ( not the spiral one you saw), and getting to walk out to the main spillway gates that are hung with giant chain links. There's a gate they have to go through that requires them to call security to keep guards with very large guns from showing up!
I Visited The EMPTY Hoover Dam 😳 m.th-cam.com/video/PVnNYvz614k/w-d-xo.html
This tour was EPIC! Wow. Thant was wonderful that you were given the privilege of filming this. A thousand times, thank you, Justin.. You are funny and imaginative and still the best tour guide ever. The father and son team were knowledgeable and kind and it showed that they enjoyed your company. Great job!
Thank you so much from Germany. This was spectacular. We all love your beautiful country. Best in the world. We have just 😁 been there in April with our twins. But never inside. If you ever wanna come to Cologne you can stay in our guest house. It would be an honor 👍
this video is much better with the sound muted not even a minute and and he was doing my head in talk about over acting and being too in love with your self
My Wife and I went on the Tour in the 70"s. It was great. If you are ever at Lake Shasta visit the Dam there, great Tour.
8:40 IT'S THE DAM RESTROOM!!! 🤣🤣🤣 (PJO, anyone?) And 35:36 SECRET TUNNEL!!!! SECRET TUNNEL!!!!! THROUGH THE MOUNTAIN!!!!! SECRET SECRET SECRET SECRET TUNNEL!!!!!!!! 🤣🤣 (ATLA, anyone?)
I was born in San Diego but basically an Arizona Native since I was six months old and I have to say that I like this video. Driven over it but never in it.
Great video, you sound like SpongeBob which made it much more entertaining
visited this in the 80's got to see some of these areas but do to 911 it spoiled this for Visitors. Nice to be able to see it is still all there.
Theses pipes were actually so huge that they had steel plants not far from the site specifically constructed for the dam(n) pipes
God, I swear the wide angle shots as the camera is held over the edge literally sent chills down my spine! 😳😬😵
liked the video but your humour and drama calm down on that and just enjoy
I never got to go on the dam tour But the dam view was amazing.
5:50 “Don’t try that at home” Ok, I’ll try that at the Hoover dam.
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
The NCR will protect the damm
My husband works for Dept of Water and Power. They use to take care of Hoover Dam and adjacent areas. We got a special tour down on the floor where the turbines are. So many secret areas. Very cool.
This was very interesting to me, my last trip to Vegas I was going to go out to the damn but it left really early and we were out late. It’s amazing they built this in the 1930’s
That was an amazing tour. The Lake Mead has been losing water levels. At two and one half minutes you can see that the water level has dropped by the exposed white rock.
Soooo lucky you got to see the extra stuff thank you for taking us with you
Thank you for that nice video and thank you mike for that great tour... greetings from Germany
I said the same thing about Chevy Chase! Vegas Vacation ROCKS ❤
I really enjoy all of Justin's Randomland Videos, but this is above and beyond *anything*!
This is a historical document! This could be played in school rooms! This is must-see V-D-O!
You have 1 of the best video of the hoove dam. Went there many years ago. And you cannot cross the dam with fire arms in the car big..No No !!!
So glad you were able to share this, we did a dam tour in 1990 and got to see all the things you have shared, it is so awesome!!!! thanks Justin
One day someone will show us what's inside those intake towers ... they are called the Towers of Mystery
COOLEST VIDEO EVER! You are AWESOME! Thanks for sharing your amazing tour! You broke the dam door! 🤪
Great video, except for how many times he said, "WOULD YOU LOOK AT THE SIZE..." lol
That was super fascinating.
And a little terrifying.
I also appreciate the Vegas Vacation jokes. I’d totally be saying dam all day. 😂
About halfway thru this video, a strange thought occurred to me. If Adam the Woo had not convinced Justin to start vlogging, I would not be sitting here watching this amazing tour of Hoover Dam.
Adam, thank you so much for seeing Justin's potential. (Of course, Adam's videos are great too!)
Wow , Awesome !
never seen before video ;
thanx for your Wonderful video ...
Excellent content !❤🎉
What a fantastic and fun tour!!! I was there many years ago and got to go down and see the generators, but this was amazing!!! I’m so jealous that I didn’t get to take this exclusive tour when I was there!!! I loved every second of it!!! 😁❤️😁❤️😁❤️
That's a pretty dam huge dam.
1:37 "Ooh, that's DAM high!" 😂😂
Hydro plants are amazing. I went to one in Wales where the tour bus (60 seater) drives into the mountain to get you to the generator unit floor. No pesky stairs, lifts or long walks.
That was really interesting thanks for creating this video!
Wife and I took the hard hat tour about 22 years ago, But not as complete as this one. Memorable experience, very knowledgable staff!
That...was..EPIC AND AWESOME!
Wow! That was fantastic. No way most of us could ever see that. Thanks for going there.
WOW!! THANKS FOR THE TOUR!
Looks like a gaint slide. The walls!

Very cool! Best adventures are on this channel!
Great video!
I'm terrified of dams but I'm watching because I'm actually really curious on how things go inside of them lol
one of your best videos great oppertunity
Dude this video was truly epic. You are very lucky to have been able to get a private tour of such a ridiculous man made structure. Keep up the great vids Justin!
watch out for those lake lurks in lake mead
I wanted to let you know that was one of the most outstanding videos I have see!! Well done!! You “ I can feel the power”, the dam joke and references to one of my favorite movie National Lampoon Las Vegas top it off!!
That was AWSOME!
Wow, amazing tour. Thanks to Mike and Eric !
Dam it! That's a big dam!
One of your very best.
I never get tired of doing this tour
Man learned all this from a Beaver!
Really really really enjoyed this vid. Thanks Justin.
One of your best.
Thank you, I've always wanted to see inside.
Justin you bugger. My mate just said OMG that I had to undo my belt because i put wait on over Christmas. She was on face time while I was watching you and you said OMG just after and she just burst out laughing.
I still have a hard time wrapping my brain around how hydroelectric dams work but you really did a good job explaining it all Justin. The Hoover Dam is one of the coolest things. Thanks for the tour.🤪😜🤪
ONE thing not covered, is how they get the vehicles down there! Is there a vehicle tunnel?, or a cliffside drive?
VERY well done!
Hey Justin so cool vip no way no way wow so no word wow thanks vip top secret history
That was Awesome Justin , thank you for taking us on this Epic tour
Very nice video and fun to watch. Have a nice day.

Some how I missed this video. Dam I'm glad I found it. Lol
Well.... Dam, that was an awesome tour
That was really cool. Thanks for taking us along, Justin. 👍
I just realized, the lead engineer guy in new vegas at the dam is called Mike. That guy giving you the tour is also called Mike - wonder if he inspired the character
Damn that was a damn good video 😂😂😂
I like it very interesting going inside the dam schools need to take a field trip to educate the kids man cool thanks for the video justin.
YT: we offer ads.
Justin: YES

If you’re ever in Las Vegas - take the tour it’s very cool 😎.
Holly Dam what a good dam Video that you have Made Dam Justin so much Dam learning
I wish they would care to show you how those intake towers work .... they are the most important part of the dam....
