★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6,782 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $59Our pick

Review of the $59 Hoover Dam VIP tour from Las Vegas, with powerplant access, a dam-top walk, lunch, transport, and comedy tickets.

“Harrison was our guide and did a great job. Funny and friendly. Easy trip, fantastic and very informative. The drive thru Bolder City was very interesting. The trek up to the bridge very easy to do, even if you have very very bad knees that hurt from all your walking all over Las Vegas. (ha!) Would totally recommend this trip to anyone!”

Bobby is so full of knowledge providing interesting information not only about the highlighted tours, but also things along the drive.
