Default Winged Statue at Hoover Dam

First time at the Hoover Dam in Nevada. I was so drawn to these statues. I really thought they were so beautiful.

I like the middle one. The statue does have an art deco feel to it. Of course, I think the Hover Dam was building during the Art Deco period.

I have been to the Hoover Dam, but, I don't think I have ever noticed these statues, were they put up recently or.. ? I went to Vegas two summers ago, so I was just curious.

They have been there all along. Very art deco. They are at the beginning of the Nevada side. They say if you rub the feet it will bring you good luck. There are 2 of them. They sit side by side. Very awesome
