Highlights
  • Las Vegas - We proudly offer a designated bus driver (for safety) and step-on tour guide (for entertainment and information). Our drivers do not double as tour guides. All of our fully air-conditioned buses have panoramic windows for optimal viewing opportunities, and bathrooms on board.

Start your tour with pickup from select Las Vegas hotels and we don’t take you to a central location to reload onto a different bus. You will go out on the bus you were picked up in. Limiting pick-ups and traveling on one bus allows us to save time and get back early. It can take hours to pull in and out of every hotel. By limiting pick-ups to 7 we are usually the first bus company to Hoover Dam. En route, your guide entertains and answers questions Hoover Dam, its history and/or the Las Vegas area.

  • Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign - We include a photo stop at the famous Welcome to Las Vegas Sign - Our guides will show you the best place to stand to get your photos to create a happy memory of your time in Vegas.
  • Boulder City - Travel through historic Boulder City, viewing the quaint Dingbat houses which were built for the Dam Workers, and the historic Hoover Dam Hotel. We also make a stop here so you can visit the Hoover Dam Museum.
  • Hoover Dam Bypass - Our buses have an added treat, a photo stop at the new Hoover Dam bypass bridge for the single best view available of Hoover Dam. Get those cameras ready for the best selfie ever!
  • Hoover Dam - On arrival, you’ll begin with a generator viewing. Travel 524 feet (160 meters) into the walls of Black Canyon to view the Nevada power-plant, generators and a 30-foot-diameter (9-meter) pipe inside one of the four giant diversion tunnels.

Next, head into the Hoover Dam Visitor Center where you can see the history of Hoover Dam and view numerous exhibits that explain how the dam was built, how it operates and who benefits from the water and electricity.

Walk on the Top Tour - This is an exclusive, fully guided comprehensive 45-minute walk over the top of the dam. Your knowledgeable guide will touch all aspects of the dam including electricity, outlet works, intake towers, concrete, diversion tunnels, water/drought, deaths, wages, earthquakes, artwork, WWII and more.

  • Omelet House - Relax and enjoy pleasant conversation with fellow travelers over a hot made-to-order sit down Lunch on the way back to Las Vegas.

As you drive back to town, you might hear Vegas trivia about topics such like the mafia, casino moguls, activities, restaurant deals and more before being dropped off. Each guide has a unique style and information.

Best dam tour! - Had a great time on this dam trip! Our guide Trevi ( I think) was funny and gave great information! We stopped at the vegas sign, we were able to walk on the Pat Tillman bridge, toured the inside of the dam, walk on the dam, and had a sit down hot meal (a choice of 7 meals,) and traveled comfortably the whole time! Great experience!

Great tour! - Great tour, day never dragged. Saw the iconic Vegas sign and had a chance to take a quick picture, and had many photo ops thru the day. ice cold water provided thruout the day too. the power plant tour was pretty quick and the bus tour guide had already filled us in on alot of the history and details. lunch was just okay but was ready when we arrived so we were back on the bus in no time. tour guide was very good at keeping us posted on planned itinerary/timing and we were back as scheduled. would highly recommend this tour!

Dam good tour - It was very organized, the guide was fun, informative and engaging. The dam and the dam’s story was amazing! The new visitor’s center was under construction, so we only saw the old one that had a very old presentation. The food was good at the lunch place. :) We had a great time!
