Small-Group Hoover Dam VIP Tour from Las Vegas

Sightseeing  :  United States  :  Nevada  :  Las Vegas  :  Half-day Tours

Get a good sleep in and get a late start to your day on this Hoover Dam Tour. This departure is perfect for the Las Vegas visitor who may have stayed up late as well as those looking for a more relaxing small group experience. You'll see all the fabulous views of the Dam between the red canyon walls including an amazing interior tour.Located in Black Canyon on the Colorado River, the Hoover Dam is the highest structure of its kind in the world. It is an outstanding achievement, noteworthy not only for its enormous dimensions, complex design and intricate construction, but also for its illustration of mans outstanding ability to overcome the desert's summer sun, the vagaries of a treacherous river, and the extreme hazards of great heights on the chasm's sheer walls.

This tour includes the Visitor Center and Historical Displays, views from the interior base of the dam into the generator room, the fascinating Hoover Dam movie and ample time for breathtaking views from the top of the dam, Lake Mead (the world's largest man-made lake) and the eastern edge of the chasm in Arizona. In addition, there are wonderful photo ops of the new Hoover Dam Bridge.

Before returning to Las Vegas you will stop at a local park where herds of Big Horn Sheep often come down from the surrounding mountains to gather and graze on the sweet grass.
