Crossing the Hoover Dam to get to Vegas

[Pete Masterson]

The real question is if there is a restriction on RVs crossing Hoover Dam. Homeland security has had some restrictions in place, but I don't know if they're still in effect. This URL seems to have the latest rules:

It appears that motorhomes are allowed to cross, but are subject to inspection. All motorhomes will be inspected.

THe US 93 route across Hoover Dam has some challenging switchback curves in the immediate vicinity of the dam, but otherwise looks rather similar to the alternate route.

I've found that "how good" one route vs. another is depends very much on the skill and experience of the driver. Roads that were difficult for me in my first year of ownership aren't at all challenging now.

Does anyone know if my PT40 with a toad will make it across the Hoover Dam? And how is Rt 93 from Kingman to Vegas? Or would it be better to go through Laughlin and take Rt 95?
