Hoover Dam Tour by DETOURS
After a convenient hotel pick-up from the Las Vegas Strip, we will tour the engineering feat that is the Hoover Dam, a national historic landmark on the mighty Colorado River, only a short distance from the entertainment capital of the world.
The Hoover Dam, built during the Great Depression, took 3.25 million cubic yards of concrete to construct, thus creating an immense fresh water reservoir spanning 245 square miles in surface area. Providing water to 8,000,000 people and agriculture in Arizona, California, and Nevada, the Hoover Dam continues to play an essential role for regional economies.
During your tour you will be treated to the best views from both the Arizona and Nevada sides of the Colorado River. The almost 900ft tall Mike O'Callaghan/Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge now offers the highest accessible overlook of the Dam and Black Canyon, an amazing sight previously only enjoyed by helicopter.
Your tour of this modern civil engineering marvel includes the visitor center with its museum, exhibits and observation deck, as well as a walk across the massive crest. Stunning Lake Mead vistas and breathtaking views from the Memorial Bridge conclude our on-site exploration. Before returning to the hotel though, another iconic photo opportunity awaits that is not to be missed.
As one the most recognizable designs in history, nothing advertises the desert metropolis like the famous Googie style "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign. Greeting car-bound travelers from the west coast since the late 1950s, this is your chance to have that one-of-a-kind picture taken right in front of Sin City's best known landmark.
