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!

My girlfriend, Janice, and I were picked up by Eli at the Hoover Dam Lodge. He drove us to a site where we had a wide view of Lake Meade. Eli gave us a basic history of how the largest man-made lake in the nation was formed. As we were driving to the site to the top of the Hoover Dam, he imparted some details about it's construction. We walked to the side walk overlooking the dam and the Arizona - side spillway. We enjoyed the tour to the generators below, and spent some time in the gift store. As the sun was setting, we walked halfway on the new highway bridge. Janice and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide Marty was extremely knowledgeable about not only the dam but Nevada in general. Very pleased with the day.

Tour guide was great! He pointed out key landmarks while traveling from Las Vegas to the Hoover Dam and also provided the history about Hoover Dam. Pickup at our hotel was timely. He stopped along the way to allow us to take photos. Once at the dam, we joined the tour offered by Hoover Dam. It was educational. Following the inside tour of the dam which lasted about 1 hour, there was plenty of time to explore the exhibit inside the visitor's center and the top of the dam. Our tour guide also stopped on the way back to Las Vegas for more photo opportunities before dropping us off at our hotel. It was a stress free experience and we highly recommend this tour!
