Hoover Dam turns red, white, and blue for America 250

The Hoover Dam, which lies on the state line between Nevada and Arizona, is getting a star-spangled upgrade for America 250, complete with lights and a massive American flag.

The installation launched the “road to America250” and honored men and women who gave their lives in service to the country, according to a press release.

Red, white, and blue lights illuminate the dam, along with a 300-foot-wide by 150-foot-tall American flag suspended across it that weighs 2,000 pounds.

The same flag was previously used during the Indianapolis Colts and Las Vegas Raiders football games.

Governors from Nevada and Arizona attended the unveiling ceremony.
