Full description
Take an excursion from Las Vegas to the Hoover Dam, which has long been known as one of the engineering wonders of the world. When the Hoover Dam was completed in 1935 it was both the world's largest electric power-producing facility and the world's largest concrete structure. Currently, it ranks as the world's 34th-largest hydroelectric generating station. During the half-day tour, you’ll be able to view the 17 main turbines that generate a maximum of 2,074 megawatts of hydroelectric power. You’ll also take in views of the Dam and Lake Mead from the Arizona Lookout Point, the best viewing spot in the area. You also get an up-close look at the newly opened Hoover Dam bypass bridge, which is a modern feat of engineering, soaring 900 feet above the Colorado River. This bridge is the longest and tallest arch bridge in the western hemisphere. Later, enjoy a spectacular vista of the Mike O'Callahan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, which opened in 2010 and stretches nearly 2,000 feet in length. Please note that this is not the Hard Hat Tour of the Hoover Dam.

Excellent tour, very informative drive who went out of his was to provide details about the lake and the dam. Had plenty of time to take in everything including the surrounding area. Only drawback was that the bus ride was very bumpy with a lot of noise and rattling windows. I suspect the tires were pumped up with too much air.

The tour was very interesting and impressive. Our guide had good knowledge and gave us also information throughout the way to and from the Hoover Dam. The only downside of this tour is the organization of the pick up. I received an E-Mail about a day before the tour, where it said, that we should be early at the meeting point and that many people are searching for the meeting point. If I had any questions, I should just write. Actually I wrote the tour company in total three times, since we didn't receive the information where the pickup location is. I received the information of the pick up location at 5:30 on the morning of the tour, the meeting time was at 7:50. This can be done mich better, as seen from other companies. Still i would recommend the tour, especially since the tour guide was very good.

The bus picked us up at our hotel on the strip, which was very convenient, and made sure we knew where the pick up spot was so we didn't miss it. The driver was very nice and we got lots of information and facts about the history of Las Vegas and the surrounding area. Though there were time constraints at each stop, it seems to be an adequate amount of time for what we needed and Bill made sure everyone was back o the bus before departing.
