THE ROUTE

Two Hours of Off-Roading Through Rugged Desert

After a hotel pickup, guests check in, receive a safety briefing, and spend a full two hours on an off-road loop with multiple photo opportunities guided by the tour crew.

THE ICON

Hoover Dam from the Bridge to the Mountain Top

The driver escorts you to three main Hoover Dam stops—beginning at the main building (with washrooms, cafe and a souvenir shop), then a picturesque Lake Mead mountaintop viewpoint, and finally the highest view where you can walk across the bridge from Nevada to Arizona.

THE SERVICE

Door-to-Door Logistics with Snacks and Water

The package includes hotel pickup from the Las Vegas Strip, snacks and bottled water on tour, and a driver standing by during the self-guided Hoover Dam portion so you can move at your own pace.
