胡佛大壩,尤利西斯稱為舊世界的高牆，位於黑峽谷的科羅拉多河上，是一座巨大的混凝土結構重力拱壩。這裡也是曾經的美國的亞利桑那州和內華達州的邊界。
背景[]
Before the Great War, the Hoover Dam was a main power supplier to the greater Four States Commonwealth (Arizona and New Mexico) along with the Southwest Commonwealth (parts of California and Las Vegas) and possibly parts of the Texas Commonwealth. When the Great War first broke out, some of Mr. House's long and short range missiles systems kept the Hoover Dam in almost untouched condition along with a majority of Las Vegas; however due to the war the plant was shut down, whether this is from the Great Blackout or not is unknown.
2274年NCR發現了胡佛大壩。此時，豪斯先生正著手於打造他的理想國度。豪斯的機器人大軍開進了賭城，並且召集賭城各大家族共謀大事。這些都是為了確保NCR不會壞了豪斯的好事。豪斯希望NCR知難而退，並且把這座不夜之城廣傳天下，然後賭城就能財源滾滾了。豪斯很擔心能不能保住胡佛大壩，因為那是賭城的主要電力來源。正在這個關鍵時刻，凱撒軍團殺過來了，因為NCR無法同時面對凱撒和豪斯這兩個強敵，那樣即使勝了也是慘勝，還會給凱撒軍團以可乘之機，這樣的結局是NCR無法接受的。於是，NCR和豪斯先生簽訂了《新維加斯協定》，其中規定胡佛大壩95%的電力分配給NCR，同時NCR承認賭城的獨立性。
2277年，馬爾佩斯特使率領凱撒軍團輕鬆拿下了大壩，但這只是NCR的戰術性撤退，隨後NCR把軍團引入巨石城這個巨大陷阱之中，軍團損失慘重，巨石城也毀於一旦。經過了柳樹灘之戰，亞利桑那泄洪道之戰後，這裡是NCR在科羅拉多河以東唯一的落腳點。這裡是NCR，凱撒軍團和豪斯先生爭奪能源的焦點，在第二次大壩之戰即將來臨之際，有一點是肯定的，戰鬥的結果會影響整個莫哈維廢土。
While troopers are active here, there are also a large number of civilian contractors and engineers who are trying to keep the dam running as smoothly as possible. They are of a secondary concern to Moore, who is preparing for an impending attack by Caesar and a visit by President Kimball.
布局[]
胡佛大壩佔地極廣，由內外多個區域組成，但在地圖上只有一個小小的圖標。Following the Colorado River downstream (or coming upstream from Cottonwood Cove), the player will encounter a pontoon barrier presumably to keep the Legion at bay.
外部[]
NCR控制著大壩的西部，而傳送點就在遊客中心的門口。遊客中心北面搭建了一個檯子和一片觀禮區，西面是一門高射炮。沿著路障密布的路繼續走，就能來到大壩的頂上。路的南邊有兩座塔樓。而路北面則是大壩的進水塔，從大壩延伸出兩條小路與之相連。主路的盡頭是一個關卡，直到最終決戰才可以進入。關卡里有台超難計算機，和一點點戰利品，房頂上是一個狙擊陣地。可以用旁邊的梯子上去。
凱撒軍團佔據著大壩東面，東面和西面的結構一樣，布滿路障的路，取水口等，不同的是東面的兩座塔樓中，有一座廢了。
大壩的南邊是可以通行的。從二號或者四號機組的二層都可以到達。壯觀的水柱從峽谷兩側的排水口噴涌而出。你可以從河西遊泳到河東，然後爬上那堆水泥結構，也可以向南遊，去那個沙洲走走。

相關任務[]
註釋[]
- It is one of the few locations with outside fresh water as well as inside.
- Mike Lawson talks about repairing the non-functional dam turbines and even though the Courier can swim down to reach the turbines, the game never makes the repairs an option for quests.
- 如果你跳到那門高射炮上，順著炮管走到頭，跳下去，你就可以跳過「隱形牆」直達大壩的底部。在到底之前存檔，然後取檔。面向河的方向，如果一切順利，你就能到達2號機組和4號機組的小門附近了。(There is an "exit door" in the North East corner of plant 02 and 04, behind metal stairway which ascends west to top of generator, that can be used to exit to the spillway.)
- During the battle at Hoover Dam, most non-player characters wear masks. This has been [1] motivated by J.E.Sawyer as an attempt to reduce memory usage, since "FaceGen/FaceFX data can be expensive". These masks look like recruit helmets.
- When on top of the first sniper tower, the Courier can lock and unlock the ladder. However, it can be used either way.
- If the Courier jumps down from the Hoover Dam into the water on the north side, and swims as far east as possible until he/she can't jump/walk any further, the Courier may begin to hear artillery fire and flying shells even though he/she has not started the battle at Hoover Dam. In addition to the sound effects, the theme music of Hoover Dam will change to the version heard in one of the end game quests.
- The NCR rangers walking on the dam do not actually wear NCR Ranger patrol armor, but a lower resolution type of clothing that is only for aesthetic purposes, the insignia on the shoulder is blurry, the water pack on their backs is flat, and rifle-grip weapons do not change position when holstered. Much like the face masks worn by troopers, the armor cannot be looted from their inventory.
- If the Courier jumps off the north side of Hoover Dam and returns to the top of the Dam, the game may glitch and cause things like the artillery cannon to completely disappear and the texture for the road in front of the visitor center to change.
- There are invisible walls around the area where Kimball speaks. This may result in his body coming back because he bounced off the wall (if exploded and killed, as ragdoll physics will take over).
- Arcade Gannon will make some comments about the Dam when first brought to the area.
- The Hoover Dam, in real life, is actually much smaller than the game version.
- Hoover Dam has its own unique set of music that will not play in any other location in the game.
- 如果想從上游水路來大壩的話，會被水中的浮筒擋住。浮筒漂在水面上，下面連著鐵鏈大網，大網一直下垂到水底，嚴絲合縫。你可以爬到浮筒上，但是翻不過去，因為遊戲設計的關係。即使從旁邊很高的懸崖上跳也不行，雖然你能從大壩上跳到水裡，但反過來就是不行。從大壩上跳到水裡之後可以沿著大壩游兩圈，不過哪也去不了，最後，還得從NCR一側的一個梯子回到大壩上。
登場[]
胡佛大壩在輻射：新維加斯中登場，同時也計畫出現在被取消的輻射3:范布倫裡。
幕後[]
- 在其中一個塔樓的外牆上寫著這樣一個標語「凱撒，滾回去」。這條標語源自現實中的「美國佬，滾回去」最初是二戰後歐洲的共產黨人用來反對美國佔領的，後來被歐洲的和平運動採納，用於反對越戰，和不久前的海灣戰爭。
- The maps of the Hoover Dam scattered around the Mojave are the actual 1930's blueprints which can be seen in the UNLV Digital Collections.
