There is no credible evidence to suggest that there is a secret base inside Hoover Dam. The dam is primarily a hydroelectric power facility and a tourist attraction, and while it has various security measures in place, any claims of a hidden base are often rooted in conspiracy theories rather than verified information. The U.S. government does conduct operations related to national security in various locations, but Hoover Dam is not known to be one of them.

ArizonaI live in Arizona and yesterday I went to the Hover Dam. The last time I was there, the new bridge was in mid build, and I wanted to see the completed bridge. We stopped at the Dam and walked across. What I obseved was the Nevada side of the Dam was clean and shiny. The Arizona side needed cleaning and paint. What a disapointment.
why are the walls of a dam thickened near the base
Yes, they lost alot of workers to the rock slides and other randoms of nature, it is said that there are workers corpses inside the concrete that makes the base of the Hoover Dam.
Dams must hold back water of a certain depth, determined by the height of the dam. The pressure exerted by this water on the dam is dependent in part by its depth, since the base of the dam must be able to hold pressures exerted by the weight of all the water above the base. Since the pressure is greater at the base, the dam is broader at the base.
the hoover dam is in Nevada and it is 726.4 feet from the base to the road.
