Hoover Dam Tours

Why not do the Hoover Dam with a better lunch than the Hacienda and with a Comic on the bus? We booked the Ultimate Double Decker Bus Comedy Tour through paradisefoundtours.com. Unlike most Hoover Dam Tours, they provide both a friendly driver and a professional comedian guide! Double up in laughter as their comedian/guide keeps you amused! Discover enlightening historical facts about Las Vegas and Hoover Dam, presented in a lighthearted, descriptive fashion.

There's no need to worry as your driver zooms down the freeway at 60 mph while holding the microphone recanting boring facts because their drivers do not double as guides. Your guide (a headlining comedian from here in town) will treat you to a fun morning, making the 45-minute trip seem like seconds. Relive parts of your youth as you don fun disguises for your trip at the government inspection station. their guides aren't just fun they are also highly informative and will enlighten you to history of this magnificent structure.

Their guides aren't just fun they are also highly informative and will enlighten you to history of this magnificent structure.

Here youll travel 500 down into the canyon wall to see the nine massive generators on the Nevada side of Hoover Dam. Youll also be able to take pictures from the visitors center overlook and view the exhibits. You may want to visit the gift shop before boarding the bus and heading off to enjoy a breathtaking Lake Mead scenic photo stop. The water here is some of the bluest youll ever see.

While here you may want to just take in the peaceful surroundings or laugh as the dozens of Antelope squirrel scamper around the area. For the adventurous, this stop also includes a stinktheyed demonstration. A morning outdoors is just what you need to work up an appetite. By now you should be ready for lunch and its a good thing because they have a delicious hot made to order lunch for you. Eat where Presidents, royalty and movie stars have, at the Historic Boulder Dam Hotel. No boring buffet here they make nearly everything themselves. It's time for the best 20 Minute movie you can see on Hoover Dam. It's all vintage footage of the actual construction. If you like knowledge and history you day is not over. After the movie you'll be able to check out the Boulder (Hoover) Dam Museum. Learn the history of discrimination during the construction or listen to the original 1935 switchboard where people who built the Dam tell their stories. No Hoover Dam tour would be complete without a tour of Boulder City (the historic town built for the dam workers). Find out why this is the only city in Nevada that does not have legalized gambling. It was built for the Dam workers and there is plenty to see and learn here. You will be amazed at the enormous size of one of the generators turbine engines (it shotheyd up defective and is now on display in central park).
