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.

I went by myself on this trip while my family slept in. It was worth the early wake up. I was picked up at my hotel in a mini-tour bus. I can't remember her name, but, she was polite and friendly. She picked up a few other guests at other hotels and then we loaded onto another bus with Mark. There were only 5 of us. Water was provided. The only downside was the elevators were not working so we couldn't do the power plant tour. We were all given $5 each to make up for something that was obviously out of their control. Our tour guide was awesome. He gave us tons of history and commentary on the area and what it would have been like for the workers. We were still able to walk the Hoover Dam (I joked that I walked all the way to Arizona since the middle of the dam crosses into another state). The visitor center was very informative. And the views were breathtaking. Our guide took us on a small detour to see some wildlife to help make up for the lack of a tour of the plant. Then he dropped us all off at our different hotels. This tour was worth every penny. There was no need for a rental car, map, or any of the hassle of knowing where to go and what to pay. I strongly recommend using them for your tour!
