Hoover Dam

Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the former US states of Arizona and Nevada. It was constructed between 1931 and 1936.

Hoover Dam is still functioning by 2281, and is controlled by the New California Republic. It produces considerably more electricity than the Helios One solar plant.

According to the New Vegas Treaty between the New California Republic and Mr. House, the NCR must divert 5% of the electricity generated at the plant to New Vegas. 5% is far more than New Vegas needs to operate.

Quartermaster Bardon
In the Hoover Dam Offices Quartermaster Bardon will trade with you after a speech check (at least 50). While he first says that he can't trade with anyone he can be convinced. He has a plentiful stock of ammunition of many of the guns the NCR carries and also AP and HP ammo for some types of ammo.

Notable Loot
Two pieces of Chinese stealth armor can be found at Hoover Dam Offices, inside the room marked with a radiation sign.

A Snow Globe - Hoover Dam is located on the welcome desk inside the Visitor Center.

2 NCR heavy troopers with NCR power armor are in welcome lobby, if you want NCR power armor.

Behind the scenes
On the side of one of the stone guard towers is a banner reading, "LEGION GO HOME". This is a reference to Monty Python's Life of Brian (see video below).
