What about the power dam in the area? That would be a more likely target!

You forgot about the alien spacecraft hangared out at Area 51.

Yes, Hoover Dam would make a fine target in the daytime...

Or at night:

The West would be toast. Period.

Bingo! Hoover dam would be my first guess. You would (a) turn off the lights in Las Vegas and (b) cause major flooding down-stream clear through So Cal. Lake Meade holds a LOT of water.

Thing of it this way. Without the dam - no Las Vegas, and no irrigation for much of southern California.

Hoover Dam would laugh at an impacting aircraft. At the top the concrete is 45 ft thick, at the bottom 660 ft thick.

This is an entirely different type of structure than a skyscraper. It is meant to hold back the hydrostatic force of the water behind it, and it is much stronger than any building.
