Walk atop Hoover Dam, explore its power plant, and take in sweeping views on a guided half-day trip from Las Vegas.

About this tour

See one of America’s great engineering landmarks on a Las Vegas Hoover Dam tour that takes you beyond the viewpoints and into the dam itself. Over 4 hours and 30 minutes, travel from Las Vegas to Hoover Dam, where the Colorado River meets a feat of Depression-era engineering.

Walk across the top of the dam and take in the river and Lake Mead from above. Then join the guided Power Plant Tour to stand among the massive generators that send electricity across the Southwest. Views from the Bypass Bridge add another perspective on the scale of the structure. Hotel pickup and drop-off and bottled water are included, making this a straightforward half-day outing. A live English-speaking guide brings context to the landmark as you explore.

The power plant visit involves confined spaces and generators that emit electromagnetic frequencies, so it is not recommended for guests with claustrophobia, pacemakers, or defibrillators. Book your Las Vegas Hoover Dam tour for a close-up look at a landmark best appreciated from both inside and out.

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 3.2.
