Driving Directions From Las Vegas To Hoover Dam Hoover Dam is located approximately 35 miles east-southeast of Las Vegas. Until the Bypass Project is completed, all direct traffic to Arizona and roads east, route through Hoover Dam via US 93. US 93 which crosses Hoover Dam, has been designated a NAFTA route. This has increased the already huge traffic load on that highway. This means that severe congestions issues will exist on this thoroughfare until 2007. Until then, you should plan on giving your journey an extra 30 minutes. The busiest times are from 
around 10:00 am to about 3:00 pm. There always seems to be plenty of parking. To
park in the covered garage, the charge is $2.00 per car.The easiest way to get there is to get on US 93 going south. You can access this freeway from downtown Las Vegas at Las Vegas Blvd 3 blocks south of Fremont Street. If you are on the Strip in Las Vegas, get in I 15 heading north. Watch your signs as you pass Sahara Avenue because you will be turning right to US 93/95. This freeway interchange is known here as the 'Spaghetti Bowl'. It is busy and you should prepare to look for your interchange. Look for 'Phoenix' and get on that one. The freeway will take you out of the valley through Railroad Pass. After that you are almost in Boulder City. If you plan to stay a while at the Dam, Boulder City is a get place to pit stop. Note that in Boulder City there will be two ways to get to the Dam. Follow the signs and take the first turn to Hoover Dam. Otherwise if you want to see historic Boulder City, take the other route through town. That will also take you to Hoover Dam. |
