From Las Vegas - Hoover Dam Tour

This motorcoach tour from Las Vegas is a must see!

Hoover Dam is the second highest dam in the United States behind the Ororville Dam in California at 754 feet. Named Hoover Dam, for former President Herbert Hoover, construction on the dam began back in 1933 with the last bit of concrete being poured in June of 1935.

One of the highlights of Hoover Dam is the artwork collection by Norwegian-born, naturalized American Oskar J.W. Hansen.

Enjoy the largest man-made lake in the United States, more than 550 miles of shoreline grace the desert.

To begin your tour, board the Desert Princess, a three-level Mississippi-style paddle wheeler with two enclosed, climate controlled decks and a third observation deck.

Try this Hoover Dam, enjoy a delicious buffet lunch at the new Hacienda Hotel & Casino, sample a piece of candy at the Ethel M© Chocolate Factory, and walk through the unique Desert Botanical Garden. Before you arrive at Hoover Dam, you will see a scenic view of Lake Mead then wind down the hill on the same road the workers who built this great structure traveled when they left their homes in Boulder City.

Have fun to and from the Hoover Dam with a professional comedian as your tour guide. Includes admission to the interactive Boulder Dam Museum. Stops at 10 locations out the giant 660' 17 story Arizona spillway, the intake towers, the generators buildings, the new bridge and much more.

When you see how this phenomenal structure was built into the walls of Black Canyon to hold back the Colorado River and create the gigantic man-made Lake Mead, you will know why it is considered one of the “modern engineering wonders of the world.”

The Hoover Dam Discovery Tour offers plenty of time for exploring this National Historic. See live presentations, a fascinating film on the Dam's construction and history, exhibit gallery, observation deck, and venture down to the observation room in the power plant to view the massive generators.

This tour has great scenic views of both the Colorado River as well as Lake Mead
