The dam straddles the boundary between Nevada and Arizona. Nevada is in the Pacific Time Zone (GMT-8) whereas Arizona is in the Mountain Time Zone (GMT-7) and is therefore 1 hour ahead. However, since Arizona does not observe Daylight Saving Time but Nevada does, during the summer the clocks on both sides will be the same time.

No The Fort Peck Dam is the largest dam in the US. It's only 1/3 the height, but much longer (nearly four miles long compared to Hoover's 1/3 of a mile), and has a total volume of over 30 times that of Hoover Dam. Hoover Dam is a different type of dam than Fort Peck Dam, but still, they're not even close.
There are six of them on the Colorado river. Glenn Canyon dam, Hoover dam, Davis dam, Parker dam, Palo Verde diversion dam and Imperial dam.
A nickname for the Hoover Dam is Boulder Dam.

Hoover Dam was originally called Boulder Dam.
Herbert Hoover - Boulder Dam in the Black Canyon on the Colorado River was renamed to Hoover Dam in his honor.
When the dam was in its planning stages, in 1930, Herbert Hoover was President. It was then in 1930 that Secretary Ickes stated publicly that Hoover Dam was to be built, noting that naming a dam after a president was appropriate. In 1933, when Hoover was not re-elected, the name was reverted to Boulder Dam. It remained Bould Dam until 1947, when an act of Congress officially re-named the dam Hoover Dam.
