A favorite for Las Vegas Hot Boats, Lake Mead is a great place to spend a day in the sun and on the water. Created in the early 1930's by the formation of the world's largest Dam it holds over 290 square miles of surface water and is twice the size of Rhode Island. The colorful rock formations, tall canyon walls and soft sandy beaches make for great scenery and an awesome place to drop your boat in the water and explore.

Be prepared for temperatures in excess of 110 degrees in the peak summer months and water as warm as a spa. Many of the canyon walls can provide some degree of shade from the blistering summer sun, so keep an eye out for a cool spot to park your hot boat! Also, watch where you drop your ride in and where you take it - the water level is down 35 feet from two years ago and 20 feet of that was from last year alone. Many of the hazards are not marked as they haven't been a hazard in recent years until now.
