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.

[@mr.waffle_pancake2]

Careful last time I’ve seen Inside the Hoover Dam, Megatron was frozen there.

[@mhz23]

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.

[@Rustyimages]

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...

[@SupraRy]

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.

[@detroitbob58]

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.

[@jamesfgray1]

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.

[@GingerSnape46]

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!

[@Thegreenpig22]

And rockstar cause I’m sure it’s in gtav :) I love fallout!

[@WilsonFiskTheBlackKingpin]

I've been here... via Fallout New Vegas :)

[@mk84ldb]

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.

[@Nasty00B]

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 :)

[@suzylarry1]

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.

[@shaunparkinson7121]

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

[@mpuck972]

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!

[@JUSTiNSWORLD]

I Visited The EMPTY Hoover Dam 😳 m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/hofRf4ysr5tkas0

[@orangepickel2]

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.

[@lillianmanuel4956]

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?)

[@timmckinney2683]

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.

[@davidk7544]

please, calm down.

[@dirkbercks8830]

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 👍

[@sauletto1]

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.

[@andreajoki9758]

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!

[@robertortis345]

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.

[@mariad.6373]

Soooo lucky you got to see the extra stuff thank you for taking us with you

[@bryankerr69]

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@unbeatenlake790]

I never got to go on the dam tour But the dam view was amazing.

[@awizardalso]

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.

[@samanthawalker3101]

The NCR will protect the damm

[@drewwassel3367]

5:50 “Don’t try that at home” Ok, I’ll try that at the Hoover dam.

[@myfamilymatters]

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!

[@bjoernphotography]

Thank you for that nice video and thank you mike for that great tour... greetings from Germany

[@franleduc18]

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.

[@Cre80s]

God, I swear the wide angle shots as the camera is held over the edge literally sent chills down my spine! 😳😬😵

[@MrKarmapolice97]

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

[@Dexiewee1357]

I said the same thing about Chevy Chase! Vegas Vacation ROCKS ❤

[@mychemicalhaircut_]

Dam it! That's a big dam!

[@docj6850]

Theses pipes were actually so huge that they had steel plants not far from the site specifically constructed for the dam(n) pipes

[@BLAZER20091]

Hoover dam is awesome

[@jaybk0666666]

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

[@captainpicard1701e]

That's a pretty dam huge dam.

[@nolagranolabar]

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!!! 😁❤️😁❤️😁❤️

[@davidunderwood4341]

Great video!

[@ejud2001]

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!

[@-uju-7576]

Great video, you sound like SpongeBob which made it much more entertaining

[@boricuadelight]

Very cool! Best adventures are on this channel!

[@erayman1]

WOW!! THANKS FOR THE TOUR!

[@kathyjoe9742]

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 !!!

[@Jaybiiird]

That was really interesting thanks for creating this video!

[@pault5557]

COOLEST VIDEO EVER! You are AWESOME! Thanks for sharing your amazing tour! You broke the dam door! 🤪

[@BronsonOsborne]

liked the video but your humour and drama calm down on that and just enjoy

[@sentwistle4325]

That...was..EPIC AND AWESOME!

[@MachSpeed767]

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!

[@mariad.6373]

I never get tired of doing this tour

[@marciemahaffey8932]

Wow! Such an amazing Randomland adventure. Enjoyed this so much..

Really really really enjoyed this vid. Thanks Justin.

[@clinthowe7629]

yup, i’ve looked out that vent too, pretty cool 😎

[@tinplategeek1058]

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.

[@greggregg4852]

VERY well done!

[@markshietze4783]

Wow , Awesome ! never seen before video ; thanx for your Wonderful video ... Excellent content !❤🎉

That was super fascinating. And a little terrifying. I also appreciate the Vegas Vacation jokes. I’d totally be saying dam all day. 😂

[@TravelWithTheHs]

[@rugger1009]

If you’re ever in Las Vegas - take the tour it’s very cool 😎.

[@justfamfam]

Awesome! I've always wondered what was inside.

[@tobyw9573]
