What To Expect

Boulder City

Your small-group tour begins with pickup from your Las Vegas Strip or downtown hotel around 8 AM. You'll then head out with your certified guide for an extended exterior tour of the Hoover Dam, walking across the dam into Arizona, and crossing the new Hoover Dam Bridge, which stands 900 feet above the Colorado River. The views from both the dam and the bridge are absolutely breathtaking.

Hoover Dam

Located in Black Canyon on the Colorado River, the Hoover Dam was once the largest dam in the world. As you explore, you'll see its incredible size, complex design, and the impressive feat of overcoming the challenges of the desert sun, a treacherous river, and towering heights. The construction of the dam also led to the creation of Lake Mead, North America's largest man-made reservoir.

Mike O'Callaghan - Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge

You'll walk across the impressive Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, soaring 900 feet above the Colorado River. It feels like flying in a helicopter, with the stunning views stretching out before you. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking from this incredible vantage point.

Colorado River

From the Hoover Dam and the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, you'll have stunning views of the mighty Colorado River below. The river winds through the canyon, offering a breathtaking perspective of its power and beauty. It's a perfect spot to take in the vastness of this natural wonder.

Lake Mead National Recreation Area

Before heading back to Las Vegas, you'll stop at a local park where, seasonally, herds of Bighorn Sheep come down from the surrounding mountains to graze on the sweet grass. During your tour, your guide will provide fascinating insights on the geology and history of the dam, Native American heritage, local flora and fauna, and many other intriguing facts!

Earl was an awesome guide! The Hoover Dam is spectacular. Be sure to take the inside tour.. I didn’t have it on my top 10 list to do, but it should have been. So happy and grateful I got to do it.

Art did an amazing job throughout the tour. He was friendly, professional and did a good job narrating along the tour. He is very knowledgeable, providing historical information of Hoover Dam, Boulder City and historic Boulder. He also drove us to different areas, so we could get the photos with the best views and also offered to take the photos. We had a wonderful experience. Well done. Highly recommend this tour. Thanks Art!
