Experience the best dam tour in town as you experience an immersive tour of the Hoover Dam on our Ultimate VIP Hoover Dam Comedy Bus Tour.
We are the only Hoover Dam bus tour company to include an exclusive 45 minute “Walk on the Top” tour of the dam, full entrance ticket to the Visitor Center with a powerplant tour and engine room access, PLUS a hot freshly cooked lunch at a local restaurant after your tour.
This Hoover Dam bus tour will inform, engage, and deliver a new perspective on this wonder of the world. Come and visit every intriguing aspect of the dam direct from Las Vegas and join the almost half a million people that we have taken to the dam over the past 15 years.
Your day starts with complimentary pick-up from your hotel or a hotel VERY close to you. We don't stop at every single hotel on the strip, as this would add hours onto the journey - we prefer to spend more time at the dam, and less time doing pick-ups. But don't worry - if we don't stop at your exact hotel, there will be another hotel very close by that we do stop at!
You can't leave Vegas without getting a photo in front of the famous historic "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign. Our guides know the best spots to stand, without having to wait in any lines!
On the way to the dam, we drive through historic Boulder City where the guide will impart stories of the history of this unique small-town American community. You will also see and learn about the famous dingbat houses that were constructed for the Hoover Dam workers.
For the very best views and photos of the Hoover Dam, we make a 25 minute photo stop at the Memorial Bridge.
Once you arrive at the dam, your guide will take you on an exclusive 45-minute guided tour on top of the dam! During this tour, the guide will touch on a variety of topics, including the operations of the dam, fascinating stories of its construction, fun facts, and the low-down on just HOW many bodies are really buried inside the dam!
This tour INCLUDES the ticket for the powerplant tour. You will journey down into the dam, where you will receive a 30-minute guided tour to a viewing platform overlooking a 30-foot diameter penstock pipe and the Nevada wing of the Powerplant, admission to Visitor Center exhibits and observation deck, and the 1940s era Original Exhibit Building topographical map presentation.
After the tour, you have plenty of free time to enjoy the dam on your own, including being able to get all the photos you desire, and a visit to the "Dam Gift Store"
We wouldn't want you going back to your hotel on an empty stomach! Hence we take everyone to lunch at a local restaurant, where we buy you a hot made-to-order freshly cooked lunch.
On the short drive back to Vegas, your guide will give you lots of advice and secret tips on activities to do in Las Vegas. We then say a sad goodbye to you, as we drop you off back at your hotel.
