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.

Had a great time! - We had a great time- Ken was our driver and Trez was our comedian guide - it was both entertaining and educational. The lunch was tasty, and we had a nice selection of choices. It’s amazing how such a structure was built all of those years ago, with such manpower and ingenuity. We recommend this tour!

A bonus with the bus ride! - When we booked we were not aware it was a " comedy on board" tour, and what a blast!!! Not only did we get history and technical details of the dam, the entire ride was highly entertaining. Trez, our host on the bus, was so much fun! Best bus ride ever. The tour itself was exceptionally well- run and even lunch ran like clockwork. We highly recommend!
