What To Expect

Hoover Dam

This exciting tour commences with complimentary hotel pickup. As you make your way to the Hoover Dam, you will travel past Lake Mead, the second largest man-made lake in the Western Hemisphere. The tour will provide you with the opportunity to walk on the top of the Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge. Following this stop, you will cross over the top of the Dam with closeup views of the architecture, penstocks and Arizona Spillway. When the Hoover Dam was completed early in 1935, it was both the world's largest electric power producing facility and the world's largest concrete structure, weighing a total of 6.6 million tons. You will discover a multitude of facts on your tour about this impressive structure.

Hoover Dam Bypass

The Bypass Bridge opened in 2010 stretching nearing 2,000 feet long and 840 feet above the Colorado River, making it the second highest bridge in the United States. Ample time is provided for souvenir shopping and purchase of food items at the Dam restaurant. This is truly an exciting and very educational experience that will provide you with a thorough overview of this fascinating, nearly 90 year old, civil engineering wonder of the world.

The trip was good and the tour guide great. The only thing that went wrong was that the supplier sent us wrong pick up time information that reseulted in us waking up 2 hours earlier. That was awful since that pick up time was at 8 am and they sent a message that it was 6:30 am.

We were in town for a business conference. Mr. G was there at the exact time he said and provided a safe drive that included some of the history of the Strip and the dam. Everything was amazing! Would highly recommend using Sweet Tours for the Hoover Dam Tour when you are in Vegas.
