  • "In the middle of the Mojave Desert, 30 miles southeast of Las Vegas, right smack on the Arizona-Nevada border sits..." Go ahead and sit back while TheBlaze's Raj Nair takes you on a journey through the history of the Hoover Dam. Watch Liberty Treehouse at 3pm on TheBlaze!

    You forgot the last part where the NCR held it 4 years ago against the legion (just barely) and now how you play Fallout: New Vegas for you, the NCR, Mr. House or The Legion to control it. It's a common mistake.

    Living in Las Vegas and Henderson for 15 dam years I have never seen the dam generators in person. Even when I was a Boy Scout we couldn’t even see the dam inside. Instead we saw a dam movie with dam movie scenes in the dam in Transformers.

    War. War never changes.
    In the year 1945, my great-great grandfather, serving in the army, wondered when he'd get to go home to his wife and the son he'd never seen. He got his wish when the US ended World War II by dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
    The World awaited Armageddon; instead, something miraculous happened. We began to use atomic energy not as a weapon, but as a nearly limitless source of power.
    People enjoyed luxuries once thought the realm of science fiction. Domestic robots, fusion-powered cars, portable computers. But then, in the 21st century, people awoke from the American dream.
    Years of consumption lead to shortages of every major resource. The entire world unraveled. Peace became a distant memory. It is now the year 2077. We stand on the brink of total war, and I am afraid. For myself, for my wife, for my infant son - because if my time in the army taught me one thing: it's that war, war never changes.

    One day, hundreds of thousands maybe billions of years from now, the hoover dam will be covered in earth and water. Once evolution brings on a new race of humans, they will uncover the dam and say "that must've been aliens 👽 "
