When you visit the Hoover Dam with Comedy On Deck Tours, you will enjoy an experience like no other tour company in Las Vegas offers. Not only do we take you to the Dam, but we specialize in making your adventure as convenient as possible. At the start of the trip, we’ll pick you up at your hotel in a bus stocked with bottled water, so you can feel more comfortable in the desert heat. Plus, we give you the opportunity to enjoy additional sights along the way.
For example, during our bus tour to Hoover Dam from Las Vegas, we’ll take the time to stop at locations such as the renowned Las Vegas “Welcome” sign and the Mike O’Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, so you can enjoy the sights and take photos. Plus, our bus will take a trip through Boulder City, which shares a strong connection with the Hoover Dam.
Visitors will also get to enjoy plenty of exclusives during our Hoover Dam bus tour. This includes a 45-minute tour at the very top of the Dam, plus the chance to walk through its power plant and visit its engine room. We’ll even provide you with access to the Dam’s Visitor Center.
After walking through these areas and seeing the sights, you’re likely to have built up an appetite! That’s why Comedy On Deck Tours prides itself on offering a Hoover Dam tour with lunch included. You’ll have the chance to sit down at a local restaurant and enjoy a delicious meal.
Once we return to Las Vegas, we’ll make things even easier for you by dropping you off at your hotel, so you won’t have to worry about how you’ll get back. It’s all part of the friendly service we specialize in offering.
For nearly 20 years, Comedy On Deck Tours has taken thousands of satisfied visitors on its Hoover Dam bus tour. Make sure you visit this engineering marvel with the company that knows how to give you the best experience possible at the Dam.
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.
