Highlights

Seven Magic Mountains - At Seven Magic Mountains, you can enjoy one of the greatest work of contemporary art in Las Vegas and be sure to bring your camera for some awesome selfies!
Nelson Ghost Town - Nelson, back in 1775, wasn’t Nelson but was called Eldorado by the Spaniards who made the original discoveries of gold in this area that is now Eldorado Canyon. A hundred years later the prospectors and miners of the day took over and established the notorious Techatticup Mine. Disagreements over ownership, management, and labor disputes resulted in wanton killings so frequent as to be routine and ordinary. Despite the sinister reputation of the mine, it along with others in the town produced several million dollars in gold, silver, copper, and lead.
But because of its location in the El Dorado Canyon, it was susceptible to flash flooding making it uninhabitable. The remaining weathered buildings, machinery, and Texaco station are what’s left of the boomtown.
Lake Mead National Recreational Area - We will stop to check Lake Mead next to Nelson’s Ghost Town.
Hoover Dam - Hoover Dam, is one of the largest concrete structures in the world. Here you will have time to walk and take pictures and see one of the biggest man-made lakes in the USA - Lake Mead.
Boulder City/Hoover Dam Museum - We’ll stop at the museum in historical Downtown Boulder City to learn about how Hoover Damn was built.

Carlos was awesome!!!👏 - Having Carlos as our guide was terrific. He’s very nice and would recommend him again. The excursions were ok could have really done without the painted rocks on top of each other.
