Pickup details
We limit the amount of hotels we visit for pickups, so that we can spend more time at the Dam, and less time on the bus doing pickups. Our hotels for pickup are strategically placed up and down the strip including downtown, so your own hotel should be either right next door or a very short walk away from where you will meet the bus.
What To Expect
Following pickup at select Las Vegas hotels, climb in to the climate-controlled vehicle for the drive to the Hoover Dam. Get to know your guide and small group along the way, learning about Hoover Dam history through your guide's commentary.
Upon arrival, start your visit with the Powerplant Tour. Descend 524 feet (160 meters) into the walls of the Black Canyon to see the Nevada Powerwing. Stroll through the generators and see the enormous pipe inside one of the diversion tunnels. After poking around in the depths of the earth, take the elevator back up to the Visitor Center. Get a full picture of the Hoover Damn's history through the exhibits and displays that show the building of the dam and its daily operations.
The highlight of this tour is the Walk on the Top portion: trek over the top of the dam itself. This excursion is one of the only from Las Vegas to offer this option. Stop by the bypass bridge to see the dam from above, before hopping back into your bus to head back to Las Vegas.
During the trip home, stop for lunch to fuel up after your day of learning, seeing and doing.
Your tour concludes with drop-off back at your select hotel in Las Vegas.

Warrenetta_C
This was our first guided tour of anything. We were so glad we did this one as we would have never seen all the things we saw, nor learned the history and details. Our guide Trevor was so knowledgeable...and funny! We thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip. We got to walk up on the bridge that overlooks the dam. That one has some stairs or switchbacks to go up...but the view is so worth it.
The pickup point was a very short walk from our hotel. The bus was right on time and Mel, our driver was amazing. The ride was so smooth, and he made getting around seem effortless.
The only downside was that the government had cancelled the inside part of the tour. But we were treated to a side trip to Boulder City instead! We were given time to roam the town and get coffee and such.
I would absolutely recommend this tour. Just be sure to wear comfy shoes !

Best Dam Tour
Dawn_R, Sept 2023
Trevor was a great guide, very entertaining, and Michael was a great driver (for his first day--sober)😂 We enjoyed the best dam tour ever!
Sights and safe driving...
Jerry_D, Sept 2023
Sights and safe driving of bus tour….tour guide’s knowledge of tour but what we didn’t like was at the dam the cramming of too many people in the elevators
A "dam" good trip
Kevin_M, Sept 2023
This was a fun and very well run trip. Trevor was an entertaining host who made the parts of the trip (bus travel) that might drag very enjoyable. Of course, the dam itself was the big star, a "must see" while in Vegas.
Awesome!
Sharon_M, Sept 2023
Harrison and mike were great! We felt entertained and safe! The tour was good, food was good and the friends we made were great! Strongly recommend!
Great Experience...
JoAnne_K, Sept 2023
Had a great tour from pickup to dropoff.
Wonderful communication/information before we arrived.
We were so lucky to have Harrison as our guide!
Take this Tour and you will NOT be disappointed !!!
Margaret_M, Sept 2023
This was a great tour because our host HARRISON made it GREAT with his knowledge and personality. Picked up at our hotel, went to the Welcome to Vegas Sign, had enough time to do the inner Hoover Dam tour, explored the museum, took pictures, and enjoy this modern engineering wonder. Hot lunch at a sit down restaurant that was called in ahead so it was ready for us when we arrived....so much fun....take this tour....get HARRISON as a guide and you will come back with a smile on your face !!!
Awesome

Making memories
Beth_H, Sept 2023
A fun and memorable trip from beginning to end! The tour guide and driver were excellent and made the day effortless. We enjoyed being able to have a photo op at the “Las Vegas” sign, tour inside of the Hoover Dam, and wrap up the day with a hot lunch.
Two for one - learned the dam history and a comedy show
Diane_T, Sept 2023
Very informative tour with a great tour guide and bus driver who also was a comedian. Very impressed with his knowledge of the history of the dam. Would highly recommend this tour to friends and family. One thing that can be improved upon is the lunch. Options were limited and the food in my opinion wasn’t very good.
