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.

Our tour guide, Angela, was right on time! She picked us up precisely on time and exactly where they said she was. She was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The small bus was clean, cool and comfortable. We had a small group of 14 with plenty of seating which made it much more enjoyable. We were very pleased with the tour and if I am in the area again I will use SWEETours, Inc. for my sightseeing trips.

We were picked up for the tour at our hotel by James and taken to another hotel where we took a different vehicle on the tour. James was very nice, friendly and informative in reference to the city of Las Vegas. Our tour guide Bill was also very friendly and informative in reference to the Hoover Dam and the history surrounding it. The tour of the Dam and the scenery around it was excellent. On our way back from the tour Bill stopped at a couple good spots for pictures (Lake Mead and a park where Rams came down from the mountain ). Very worth the money and highly recommended by me to do while in the Vegas area.
