Explore Techatticup Mine, a ghost town, and Hoover Dam on a private Nevada adventure filled with history and memorable photo stops.

About this tour

Explore a ghost town, a historic gold mine, and the Hoover Dam on this private tour packed with Nevada history. At Techatticup Mine, once known as Nevada’s oldest and richest mine, you’ll see old mining tools and artifacts that offer a glimpse into the area’s past. The site has also appeared in two motion pictures, and movie props, including a crashed airplane, remain among its memorable sights.

Your visit includes entry to the Techatticup Mine Tour and unlimited water. The itinerary also features a Hoover Dam stop: when the dam is open, you’ll enter; if it is closed, the tour stops at Big Horn Sheep Park instead. This combination of mining history, ghost-town atmosphere, and striking photo opportunities makes the experience a distinctive way to explore the region.

Choose this private tour for a close-up look at places where Nevada’s stories still feel tangible. Book your Ghost Town Gold Mine Tour and discover the landscapes and relics that make this outing memorable.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.86 from 58 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Las Vegas
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.5. Top 29% in Las Vegas means it ranks in the top 29% of tours in Las Vegas by this score.
