Additional Information

Considered a modern marvel of the world, Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam located in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River and is the most-visited dam in the world. The dam created Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States (in terms of capacity), which supplies water to farms, businesses and millions of people in Nevada, Arizona, California and Mexico. Nearby Boulder City, located just 6 miles from the dam site, was built and designed by the government to house and feed the dam workers.

Perfect highlight tour - We had a great trip out with Darren who was full of useful information along the way. We saw everything we wanted and the highlight was the dam itself. We spent the right amount of time at each spot and were grateful for the ice cold water.

The sheer scope of the... - The sheer scope of the views that make up the dam, Lake Mead and surrounds. A human marvel on the scale of the Apollo moon landing. A big shout out also to Darren, our remarkably knowledgeable Las Vegas D-Tours guide. He made the landscape come alive with modern and geological history.

Fun for the family as well as educational! - Darrin picked us up right on time. We visited the Pat Tillman/Mike O’Callahan bridge, which is amazing in terms of both architecture and beauty. Walked to the marker and had one foot in Nevada, the other in Arizona. Visited Boulder City, the dam and had a stop at a lovely gift shop, as well as stops at scenic overlooks.Darrin was an encyclopedia of information… he obviously enjoys his job. We were not rushed at any time during the tour. Would definitely recommend!
