Hoover Dam Tours & Activities
Hoover Dam

The dam is a popular day trip destination from Las Vegas, and transportation options range from comedy buses to mountain bikes. Upon arrival, learn about hydroelectric power from a tour guide, see how the dam generates and distributes electricity, and take in beautiful views of the surrounding riverways, canyons, and valleys. You may wish to join a guided tour from Las Vegas, particularly if you don’t have a car. Some tours include a Hoover Dam visit with excursions to the Grand Canyon’s West Rim or a cruise on Lake Mead.
Set aside three or four hours minimum to visit the Hoover Dam, with round-trip transit from Las Vegas factored in. For a bird’s-eye view of the larger-than-life landmark—and to see how it has shaped the surrounding landscape—book a helicopter tour.
