We went on the Lake Mead Cruise in August, not for dinner but just the cruise, was $24 a person, they leave at 12:00pm and 2:00pm, full restaurant, bar, 3 levels, the first and second are air conditioned with an open upper level with seating. Was very nice! They take you through the reservoir and right to the Hoover Dam. more

We were a party of four on the dinner cruise on 7/16/09. The Paddleboat truly is a sight to see, what a boat! We arrived half an hour early and were surprised to see a full service bar and gift shop in the waiting area. We were very happy to find dinner seating was reserved and we weren’t left to... more

It didnt take long to search and find tours for Lake Mead and the Desert Princess Tours. At $22.00 a person, I figured even if it wasnt good, I wasnt broke in the process. The Boat tour lasts about an hour and a half while you cruise along the shoreline and hear the story of the building of the hoover... more

Food: The 2 pm cruise that we took does not offer a meal, but they do have an air-conditioned snack bar and alcohol bar available. However, both are quite pricey for what they offer. $6 for a tiny hotdog and handful of chips, $1.75 for a very small cup of soda. Eat before you go and you should be fine!... more

There was a total of about 50 guests for the late cruise. Food was good, service was good, staff was all friendly. I would recommend it, especially if you have never boated on Lake Mead. more

Contrary to the previous reviews posted, we were delighted with our recent dinner cruise (July 11) on the Desert Princess. Members of our five-person group tried three of the entrees and all were delicious. The friendly young people on the wait staff also gave superb service. The star of the show, however is the beautiful Lake Mead. The Princess cruises... more

We found very terrible service - either these people hate their jobs or don't get paid enough. Either way, very bad service and won't be back. more

This evening a group of us went on the Lake Mead Dinner Cruise as a celebration of both my sister-in-law's birthday and my birthday (which are two days apart); my brother and my boyfriend accompanied us of course. I have to say that I was quite disappointed in the experience. The views are beautiful and in most cases quite breathtaking.... more
