We drove out from Vegas and took the 10:00 tour that went to power plant and tunnels, it was an awesome tour. This tour is purchased on site only and there was a line before opening a 9. I’d recommend arriving early, before 9. This tour is not recommended if you’re claustrophobic

The Hoover Dam was breathtaking. Very amazing place to see. We took the $30 tour where you go down and see the inside of the dam. It was very educational and interesting. I think the $15 tours would have been very good, also.

Just go! I learned so much and had so much fun. We arrived about 30 minutes before they opened the doors to get in line and we parked right up front in the parking garage and were about 10th in line. We paid the $30 for the inside tour. DO IT! I don't do well in enclosed spaces and was a bit nervous but never had issues. The engineering marvel of The Hoover Dam and all the history is not to be missed. I'm so glad we went early.

Kevin (Laughlin Tours) the tour guide was excellent. Prior to reaching the Hoover Dam itself Kevin took us to a viewpoint that we had never seen before. The dam tour and exhibits were excellent. For lunch, Kevin recommended the Bighorn Café at the Hoover Dam Lodge in Boulder City. This was an excellent choice as the lunch was wonderful and the prices were very reasonable. A bonus, near the Hoover Dam Lodge itself, was another excellent view of Lake Mead. Thank you to Kevin for the tidbits of information passed along regarding various sites along the tour.

If you're in the area you should definitely visit. It's an amazing structure, made even more impressive for being built almost 100 years ago. A must if you're interested in architecture, engineering or great design.

Iconic emblem of the American spirit and engineering ingenuity. A must-see when in the Vegas area. You can easily spend a few hours here at the various lookouts and taking tours. Hadn’t been here in years so this time we saw the multi-level for a few parking garage…great additional. There is also parking along the access road at various points and they’re connected by steps so you can walk your way down to the dam. Highly recommend the visit!

This is something to see. Just amazing. We walked the dam and the museums. They are so informative and it's impressive when you learn how they built this dam so many years ago. There is a guided tour also if you choose. We ate lunch at the cafe and had surprisingly good food. I had a salad that was really fresh. There is a parking garage and it was not very busy here in early December. Definitely worth the drive from Las Vegas. You can also walk up to the bridge overlooking the dam and walk across it. Very windy on that bridge. Don't wear a hat. We saw many down below that had blown off.

On my way out of Vegas I wanted to take a quick look at the Hoover Dam. I opted not to pay for a proper tour but rather just walk outside and gaze at the visually spectacular and magnificent engineering feat. The good news is it is free to just walk around this from a higher level you will get some visually magnificent photo opportunities. There are free parking options too you just need to drive on from the paid parking option there are multiple lots further up with space and still barely a 5 minute walk away. The most amazing fact is you cross boundary states at this location (Nevada, Arizona) and this is marked by the clocks at each post. Definitely worth a visit there is also a cafe/gift shop and rest rooms.

The Dam truly is a work of art—to think it was built on the 1930s! Tour Guide Danny was funny, knowledgeable, and engaging. In addition to admiring the dam from the outside I took the tour of the inspection tunnels and power plant. Well worth it IMO. You will have to go through a vehicle inspection checkpoint to access the dam by car, and go through security again to access the visitor centre and for tours. Parking at close lots is $10 but if you drive across the dam to the Arizona side parking is free at the top lots. On your way out (NV side) there’s a parking lot on the left before you get on the interstate which allows you to walk along the highway for amazing views of the dam. They close entry at sunset—be sure to leave some time!

GREAT tour of the dam and the power plant. We got there early and had a small group os we weren’t rushed and could really experience everything and ask lots of questions. Tour guides are extremely knowledgeable. Fascinating tour, starts with a 10 min video which is great info. We were lucky as the previous week no tours happened as one of the elevators needed repairs. We would have been so bummed if we missed this excellent tour.
