I saw the Hoover Dam in 1998 when Lake Mead water level was slightly higher. The whole experience was awe inspiring for a 'first timer'. And by no means am I downplaying the The Mike O’Callaghan – Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge; it is a very different work of art and engineering that has its place in the Wonders of the World.
