Discover Hoover Dam, a modern marvel and one of the most visited dams in the world, located in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River. This impressive concrete arch-gravity dam created Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States by capacity, supplying water to millions across Nevada, Arizona, California, and Mexico. This is an external tour where you can admire the dam’s massive structure and history. Just six miles away, explore Boulder City, a historic town built to support the dam’s construction and workers.

Q&A

Q: What should I wear for the Hoover Dam tour? Is it mostly outdoors?

A: You're right, most of the tour is outdoors, so I'd suggest wearing comfortable clothes and good walking shoes. It can get hot, especially in the summer, so lightweight fabrics are best. Don’t forget sunglasses and sunscreen, too! If you go in cooler months, a light jacket might be useful.

Q: What’s the age limit for kids on this tour? Is it suitable for my 9-year-old?

A: The tour is family-friendly! Kids of all ages can join, but just keep in mind that there’s some walking involved. Your 9-year-old will probably love the dam and the views of Lake Mead. Just be sure to keep an eye on them near any steep areas.

Q: Is there a way to reschedule if something comes up?

A: Yes, you can usually reschedule your tour with Las Vegas D-Tours, but it's best to give them at least 48 hours' notice. They’re pretty flexible, but just check their policy when you book to be safe. It’s good to have a backup day in mind.
