Hoover Dam
The exterior of Hoover Dam is a massive, fortified pre-war hydroelectric structure serving as the NCR's military headquarters in the Mojave Wasteland. Visitors can traverse the main road running across the top of the dam, explore the intake towers, and access the visitor center and interior power plants. It is also the site of the game's climactic final battle, where the fate of the Mojave is decided.
