Les meilleurs événements de la ville Las Vegas. Rive ouest du Grand Canyon, barrage Hoover, Red Rock Canyon : visites guidées audio commander (réserver en ligne) tickets.afisha.life. Don't miss a thing on GuideAlong's self-guided audio tour as you are guided on three sightseeing routes to Grand Canyon West, Hoover Dam, and the natural beauty of Red Rock Canyon

1

Las Vegas

As the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route(s) to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed below;

2

Skywalk West Rim Of Grand Canyon

Grand Canyon West Rim is located on the land belonging to the Hualapai Nation. The Grand Canyon West offers a mixture of amazing Grand Canyon views and traditional cultural experiences all in a single location, relatively close to Las Vegas. Included in the Legacy fee to visit the area is shuttle to access 3 distinctive areas: Eagle Point, Guano Point and the Ranch. The Glass SkyWalk is perhaps the most iconic and famous feature of exploring this part of the Grand Canyon. The U-shaped, glass-floored walkway extends out beyond the rim, so you can look through your feet to the canyon floor thousands of feet below.

3

Hoover Dam

Perhaps the greatest feat of American engineering and certainly an icon to this day, the Hoover Dam must be seen up close to be appreciated. Take a 1/2 day sightseeing drive to Hoover Dam, or include it as a stop on your way to Grand Canyon West Rim. At the dam, park and walk onto the wall to appreciate the sheer size and magnitude of the project. You will want to take photos from different vantage points around the dam to capture many fascinating details.

4

Hoover Dam Bypass

A modern-day engineering feat that equals the construction of the Hoover Dam - almost! Officials recognized the US 93 route over Hoover Dam as a dangerous and congested bottleneck with both existing and projected traffic volume. Construction began in 2003 and was completed 7 years later in 2010. This arch style bridge sits 890 feet (270m) above the Colorado River, the 2nd highest in the United States.

5

Guano Point

This stop in Grand Canyon West offers some of the very best views of the canyon, even from the general viewing area. The remains of an old mining operation in caves in the side of the canyon walls makes the location even more interesting that "regular" canyon views! If you have the energy, you can follow a relatively easy scramble to the top of a rock mound to get an even more elevated view of the canyon, and the rim.

6

Eagle Point

This natural rock formation is located on the lands of the Hualapai Reservation and can be enjoyed as part of the Grand Canyon West Rim experience. The outline of an eagle spreading its wings is obvious and you'll learn more about the legends and these sacred rocks. The setting on the edge of the rim of the Grand Canyon is spectacular.

7

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area

The 13 mile loop drive explores the canyons famous red rocks, but also has many elevated viewpoints, other startling rock formations and ancient petroglyphs. Hikers have a chance to explore several canyons, or to do some fun rock-hopping trails. The Red Rock Canyon Visitor Center offers indoor interpretive displays, an outdoor plaza filled with interactive exhibits, spectacular views of the surrounding red rock and a neat gift shop.

8

Spring Mountain Ranch State Park

Spring Mountain Ranch is a state park and preserved historical site with some of the oldest building in Nevada. It has had some famous celebrity owners through its history - if only the walls could talk! The ranch is beautifully preserved and offers living history and cultural programs.

9

Ethel M Chocolates Factory and Cactus Garden

Who doesn't love chocolate? Forrest Mars Sr. (yes, of the Mars candy empire) founded Ethel M Chocolates as a retirement project in 1980. Named after his mother, this little venture reached $150 million in sales within a few years.

10

Lake Mead National Recreation Area

There is a superb elevated viewpoint along the Hoover Dam access road, where we can enjoy expansive views of Lake Mead, which of course was created by the back-filling of the dam.

11

Boulder City

Developed as a base to house the 5000 workers constructing the Hoover Dam. Built in a harsh desert environment it was meticulously planned and supervised by the dam construction consortium. To help keep laborers focused on their work, alcohol and gambling was prohibited. Today you still see some of the historic buildings in downtown, mixed in with cafes, diners and art studios, but you won't find any casinos, gambling still isn't legal here.

12

Fremont Street Experience

Downtown or "old" Las Vegas is the area where the Las Vegas legend all began. Today we can still enjoy visiting famous and iconic casinos like the Golden Nugget, Binions and the Golden Gate. You will recognize many of the neon-lit signs! Today the star of the show is the Fremont Street Experience, an overhead light show that covers 2 blocks. It's free and draws a crowd every night!

Las Vegas

Au fur et à mesure que les audioguides diffusent des commentaires en fonction de votre position GPS, vous pouvez créer votre propre itinéraire le long du ou des itinéraires de la visite en fonction de vos intérêts et de votre emploi du temps. Ou vous pouvez utiliser nos planificateurs de voyage pour nos suggestions d'itinéraires d'une demi-journée, d'une journée complète ou de plusieurs jours. Certains des nombreux faits saillants sont énumérés ci-dessous;

26

Skywalk Rive Ouest du Grand Canyon

Le Grand Canyon West Rim est situé sur les terres appartenant à la nation Hualapai. Le Grand Canyon West offre un mélange de vues imprenables sur le Grand Canyon et d'expériences culturelles traditionnelles dans un seul endroit, relativement proche de Las Vegas. Les frais Legacy pour visiter la région comprennent une navette pour accéder à 3 zones distinctes : Eagle Point, Guano Point et le Ranch. Le Glass SkyWalk est peut-être la caractéristique la plus emblématique et la plus célèbre de l'exploration de cette partie du Grand Canyon. La passerelle en forme de U et au sol en verre s'étend au-delà du bord, de sorte que vous pouvez regarder à travers vos pieds jusqu'au fond du canyon à des milliers de pieds en dessous.

27

Barrage Hoover

Peut-être le plus grand exploit de l'ingénierie américaine et certainement une icône à ce jour, le barrage Hoover doit être vu de près pour être apprécié. Faites une excursion d'une demi-journée en voiture jusqu'au barrage Hoover ou incluez-la comme arrêt sur votre chemin vers la rive ouest du Grand Canyon. Au barrage, garez-vous et marchez sur le mur pour apprécier la taille et l'ampleur du projet. Vous voudrez prendre des photos de différents points de vue autour du barrage pour capturer de nombreux détails fascinants.

28

Contournement du barrage Hoover

Une prouesse d'ingénierie moderne qui équivaut presque à la construction du barrage Hoover ! Les responsables ont reconnu la route US 93 au-dessus du barrage Hoover comme un goulot d'étranglement dangereux et encombré avec le volume de trafic existant et prévu. La construction a commencé en 2003 et s'est achevée 7 ans plus tard en 2010. Ce pont de style arc se trouve à 890 pieds (270 m) au-dessus du fleuve Colorado, le 2e plus haut des États-Unis.

29

Pointe Guano

Cet arrêt dans le Grand Canyon West offre certaines des meilleures vues sur le canyon, même depuis la zone d'observation générale. Les vestiges d'une ancienne exploitation minière dans des grottes sur le côté des parois du canyon rendent l'emplacement encore plus intéressant que les vues "régulières" du canyon ! Si vous avez l'énergie, vous pouvez suivre une course relativement facile jusqu'au sommet d'un monticule rocheux pour obtenir une vue encore plus élevée du canyon et du bord.

30

Pointe de l'Aigle

Cette formation rocheuse naturelle est située sur les terres de la réserve de Hualapai et peut être appréciée dans le cadre de l'expérience du Grand Canyon West Rim. La silhouette d'un aigle déployant ses ailes est évidente et vous en apprendrez plus sur les légendes et ces rochers sacrés. Le cadre au bord du bord du Grand Canyon est spectaculaire.

31

Zone de conservation nationale du Red Rock Canyon

La boucle de 21 km explore les célèbres roches rouges des canyons, mais propose également de nombreux points de vue surélevés, d'autres formations rocheuses surprenantes et d'anciens pétroglyphes. Les randonneurs ont la chance d'explorer plusieurs canyons ou de faire des sentiers amusants. Le centre d'accueil des visiteurs de Red Rock Canyon propose des expositions d'interprétation intérieures, une place extérieure remplie d'expositions interactives, des vues spectaculaires sur la roche rouge environnante et une boutique de cadeaux soignée.

32

Parc d'État de Spring Mountain Ranch

Spring Mountain Ranch est un parc d'État et un site historique préservé avec certains des plus anciens bâtiments du Nevada. Il a eu des propriétaires célèbres à travers son histoire - si seulement les murs pouvaient parler ! Le ranch est magnifiquement préservé et offre une histoire vivante et des programmes culturels.

33

Fabrique de chocolats Ethel M et jardin de cactus

Qui n'aime pas le chocolat ? Forrest Mars Sr. (oui, de l'empire des bonbons de Mars) a fondé Ethel M Chocolates en tant que projet de retraite en 1980. Nommée d'après sa mère, cette petite entreprise a atteint 150 millions de dollars de ventes en quelques années.

34

Zone de loisirs nationale du lac Mead

Il y a un superbe point de vue surélevé le long de la route d'accès au barrage Hoover, où nous pouvons profiter d'une vue imprenable sur le lac Mead, qui a bien sûr été créé par le remblayage du barrage.

35

Ville de Boulder

Développé comme base pour abriter les 5000 ouvriers construisant le barrage Hoover. Construit dans un environnement désertique hostile, il a été méticuleusement planifié et supervisé par le consortium de construction du barrage. Pour aider à garder les ouvriers concentrés sur leur travail, l'alcool et le jeu étaient interdits. Aujourd'hui, vous voyez encore certains des bâtiments historiques du centre-ville, mélangés à des cafés, des restaurants et des studios d'art, mais vous ne trouverez aucun casino, le jeu n'est toujours pas légal ici.

36

Expérience de la rue Fremont

Le centre-ville ou "vieux" Las Vegas est le quartier où la légende de Las Vegas a commencé. Aujourd'hui, nous pouvons toujours visiter des casinos célèbres et emblématiques comme le Golden Nugget, les Binions et le Golden Gate. Vous reconnaîtrez de nombreuses enseignes éclairées au néon ! Aujourd'hui, la star du spectacle est le Fremont Street Experience, un spectacle de lumières zénithales qui couvre 2 pâtés de maisons. C'est gratuit et attire une foule tous les soirs !

86

Eagle Point

93

Hoover Dam

Perhaps the greatest feat of American engineering and certainly an icon to this day, the Hoover Dam must be seen up close to be appreciated. Take a 1/2 day sightseeing drive to Hoover Dam, or include it as a stop on your way to Grand Canyon West Rim. At the dam, park and walk onto the wall to appreciate the sheer size and magnitude of the project. You will want to take photos from different vantage points around the dam to capture many fascinating details.

94

Hoover Dam Bypass

A modern-day engineering feat that equals the construction of the Hoover Dam - almost! Officials recognized the US 93 route over Hoover Dam as a dangerous and congested bottleneck with both existing and projected traffic volume. Construction began in 2003 and was completed 7 years later in 2010. This arch style bridge sits 890 feet (270m) above the Colorado River, the 2nd highest in the United States.
