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.

A friend and I took this tour while in Las Vegas for a convention in June. It was easy booking through Trip Advisor. I was actually able to call and speak to Sweet Tours in advance and actually got a real person on the phone! Linda was wonderful to speak with and did exactly as she said she was going to do, even though I booked through Trip Advisor and not directly through them. The directions given to me on where to meet the tour guide for pick up, was very helpful, as we were staying at the MGM grand, and may not have found that exact door otherwise. Bil C was our tour guide, and he was wonderful! He was so helpful and informative! He was a wealth of knowledge on the area, as well as the information about the Dam. He was very clear on pick up times, and how long we would be at each location throughout the day. He made sure that we always had fresh, cold water to drink, and reinforced hydration to everyone on the tour. The water was a wonderful addition to the tour that I really took advantage of. Bil was very professional, and punctual! Pick up from our hotel went very smoothly. We were a full tour, and everyone on the tour was pleasant to each other. The tour lasted exactly as long as it said, from pick up to drop off. It was a full day of touring, and worth every dime we paid for it! If ever out that way again, I would like to do a tour of the Grand Canyon that is offered by this company. The only thing I regret, is not having thought to bring tip money to give Bil! Next time I will make sure to remember! Take this tour, you will not be disappointed!

My kids and I booked a Hoover Dam half day tour with Sweetours and we had the good fortune of getting Walter as our coach operator!! Walter made the morning fun and educational and he even gave us some insider tips on winning at the slots! Walter is really funny, so when he says he’s also giving you a comedy tour, he’s not kidding. If you’re able to do the tour while you’re in Vegas, do your best to get on Walter’s coach!!!!
