Hoover Dam was, of course, amazing. And it was certainly convenient for the bus to pick us up at the casino where we were staying (Orleans). However, with convenience comes a price. Orleans was the first stop on the way there, and the last stop on the way home. As a result, we spent about 2 hours on the bus each way (i.e., 4 hours total). In addition, on the way back to Las Vegas, the driver was randomly dropping off passengers where ever they wanted. It made for an even longer ride home and exceeded the advertised time commitment of the tour.
