All of our tours that go from Las Vegas to the Hoover Dam will make some fun stops along the way. It takes around 45 minute and 37 miles to drive from the Las Vegas strip to the Hoover Dam. We always stop for photos at the Welcome to Las Vegas sign to get your tour off to a good start.
Depending on your tour, you may also stop at Seven Magic Mountains. Drive through the second largest city in Nevada, Henderson, as you make your way towards the dam. Watch as the city slowly fades and gives way to the expansive Mojave desert. Pass through the historic town of Boulder City. Boulder City was the home of the brave workers who constructed the dam. Leaving Boulder City and entering the desert again, your tour guide will be on the lookout for bighorn sheep that are found in this region. We will make a quick stop at a local park with views overlooking Lake Mead.
Once you have arrived for your Hoover Dam Tour and cleared security, your tour guide will slowly drive across the dam to the far side, where you will get out for some stunning photo opportunities of both the back of the dam and Lake Mead. From here take a walking tour across the dam, getting a firsthand view of the modern engineering marvel and American landmark.
