Pickup details

We limit the amount of hotels we visit for pickups, so that we can spend more time at the Dam, and less time on the bus doing pickups. Our hotels for pickup are strategically placed up and down the strip including downtown, so your own hotel should be either right next door or a very short walk away from where you will meet the bus.

What To Expect

Following pickup at select Las Vegas hotels, climb in to the climate-controlled vehicle for the drive to the Hoover Dam. Get to know your guide and small group along the way, learning about Hoover Dam history through your guide's commentary.

Upon arrival, start your visit with the Powerplant Tour. Descend 524 feet (160 meters) into the walls of the Black Canyon to see the Nevada Powerwing. Stroll through the generators and see the enormous pipe inside one of the diversion tunnels. After poking around in the depths of the earth, take the elevator back up to the Visitor Center. Get a full picture of the Hoover Damn's history through the exhibits and displays that show the building of the dam and its daily operations.

The highlight of this tour is the Walk on the Top portion: trek over the top of the dam itself. This excursion is one of the only from Las Vegas to offer this option. Stop by the bypass bridge to see the dam from above, before hopping back into your bus to head back to Las Vegas.

During the trip home, stop for lunch to fuel up after your day of learning, seeing and doing. 

Your tour concludes with drop-off back at your select hotel in Las Vegas.

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. 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.

Traveler Tips


One thing to keep in mind - this is a government facility and being able to go inside the dam is sometimes difficult or the lines are long.
Keeping in mind, you may have a long wait in line to do this but you can.
Be sure to allow until 4pm before you are back at the hotel.

Better than expected !!
Sean_A, Aug 2022
Only complaint I would have os the food. The bus was actually early and ready to go. I felt the price was decent for all we got. Our tour guy (believe his name was Dan), he was decent as well.
Great Tour (& 5 Stars to Dan!!!)
Paul_B, Aug 2022
Fantastic tour. Great guide (Dan) - funny and informative and super driver. Good tour of the Dam. Enjoyed every minute.
Great tour of the Hoover Dam with Comedy on Deck
Myrna_S, Aug 2022
The tour itself was great, but the ride there with Harrison and Angela really made it special. Of course Harrison was so funny but he really gave us all an education about the area and the Dam. Angela was literally a "smooth operator", driving the bus like the professional she is. Never felt rushed or herded around and had time to see everything we wanted! 5 stars.
To go to
John_R, Aug 2022
Harrison and Angie were great 👍. Funny, knowledgeable and time was flying. Hoover dam was amazing and was just built in 5 years with very simple equipment, now any government construction just repair takes 5 years
Nice tour of Dam stuff.
Christopher_S, Aug 2022
Excellent tour. Water provided. Meal was also good. If you do tour from north side of strip, you’re 1st to be picked up and last dropped off. Adds to length of tour.
Outstanding tour
Dale_L, Aug 2022
Our tour guide was extremely funny and personable, non stop dialogue about facts and history of Hoover dam, excellent tour
Great "dam" tour
Brian_H, Aug 2022
Trez was hilarious from the start. He told jokes but tied in the history of Henderson, Boulder City and the Hoover Dam. It kept the day lively while learning a lot.
We had a dam good time!
Theduplantierfamily, Aug 2022
Trez was absolutely hilarious! My wife usually doesn't laugh at stand-up. She was almost in tears. He's the Best Dam guide we have ever had!
Horrible experience
Robert_H, Aug 2022
Could not get into lower level due to an elevator issue. But we paid for full experience. Too long for stops, and an unnecessary stop at a park on way back. Lunch at Omlet house was horrible. Girlfriend could not eat her food
Great experience that I will keep with me in my memory for awhile
Lori_C, Aug 2022
View from the bridge Harrison was funny and very entertaining and congenial Loved having water along the way and a coffee stop in Boulder City Lunch was cold and not worth it !
This was a great tour! ...
Jennifer_B, Aug 2022
This was a great tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and also quite funny. It was well organized, on time, and full of good information. The inside tour of the dam was a little disappointing as it was pretty brief, but the overall tour was a very good experience. Harrison was our tour guide and Laura was the driver.

We were not expecting a comedian as a guide! Trez was informative and entertaining! Loved the tour!!
Great Day Trip
Tiffany_S, Aug 2022
Our host, Trez, was fun and interesting! He made the trip what it was. I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to learn about the Hoover Dam, Boulder City, and Vegas. He is a true professional and a true comedian!!

Great Hoover Dam trip with Viator
Jerry_B, Aug 2022
To start out with the bus was very nice and clean. The guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining which made ride on the bus more enjoyable. Everything was done in a timely manner. The diner we ate at had a great selection and was excellent. Well worth the cost of the trip. I would definitely recommend it.
Amazing Dam Tour
Allan_J, Aug 2022
The tour guide was interesting with facts of the dam as well as funny. The dam itself was an amazing example of engineering, especially since it was built in the 1920’s.
Great way to spend the day!
Robert_H, Aug 2022
What a great time! Our host, Trez, was super fun, bus was clean and everything was on time and easy. Loved the little details about the area along the way. Very creative and unique!
