Acerca de esta actividad

Para empezar su excursión a la presa Hoover, un autocar de lujo le recogerá en su hotel de Las Vegas. En la presa Hoover, tendrá oportunidad de realizar la Visita de Exploración y podrá descubrir las distintas exposiciones a su aire.

Además de explorar por su cuenta, diríjase hacia el teatro del nivel del suelo, donde hay murales, mapas, fotos y otras pantallas que proporcionan una introducción a la presa Hoover. Podrá ver un breve vídeo de presentación, titulado "How the West was Won" (Cómo se conquistó el Oeste), en el que se muestra el papel que desempeñó la Agencia Federal de Recuperación de los EE. UU. en el control de los ríos, la colonización del Oeste y el cultivo de alimentos para el país.

A continuación, su Visita de Exploración guiada le llevará hasta los generadores de la central eléctrica. Para llegar hasta allí, deberá utilizar los grandes ascensores que descienden 152 metros (500 pies) por las paredes del Black Canyon para recorrer un túnel de 76 metros (250 pies) de longitud y ver la sección de la central que corresponde a la parte de Nevada (198 metros [650 pies] de longitud) y sus ocho enormes generadores. Suba a lo más alto de la plataforma de observación de Penstock, desde donde podrá contemplar una de las cuatro tuberías de algo más de 9 metros (30 pies) de diámetro, que pueden transportar aproximadamente 340 687 litros (90 000 galones) de agua por segundo desde el lago Mead hasta los generadores hidroeléctricos de la central.

Tras la Visita de Exploración, visite la Galería de Exposición, que destaca parte de la historia natural de la región y permite hacerse una idea de cómo se construyó la presa Hoover y cómo funciona en la actualidad. Desde el mirador de la presa, podrá disfrutar de la hermosa vista panorámica de la represa, el lago Mead y el río Colorado.

Entonces será hora de abandonar las alturas de la presa Hoover y descender hasta el nivel del agua. En el puerto deportivo del lago Mead, se embarcará en un barco a vapor con ruedas de pala, el Desert Princess, y realizará un crucero de unos 90 minutos por el lago Mead. A bordo disfrutará de un almuerzo frío, mientras recorre el lago Mead y disfruta de la presa Hoover desde otros ángulos.

En función de la densidad del tráfico, se realizará una parada de 10 ó 15 minutos en el emblemático cartel de Welcome to Las Vegas para hacer fotos.

I loved this tour! Our bus picked us up at the hotel and took us to the terminal where everything was explained on how things would go for the day. We then loaded a bus and were on our way. There is a GPS guided system that is supposed to let you hear things about the sights you're seeing on the way there, but it wasn't working. So we got to hear our bus driver tell us things about Las Vegas and the dam on the way there. Vernon Buchanon was his name and he was terrific. I will admit that I was worried I wouldn't like the group experience - or that my husband wouldn't. But everything about it was enjoyable. I loved the lake Mead cruise and the information given during it. It was a lovely day and a great trip. The power plant tour during the time at the Hoover Dam was interesting and not too long. We had some free time to see the sights at the dam after that tour which made for a quite enjoyable day. The only downside of the whole experience was that the bus stopped at all the hotels to drop people off and ours was next to last on the list. They did this instead of going back to the terminal and having smaller buses deliver us back to the hotels like we were picked up that morning. However, that didn't ruin the day, just made it a bit longer. I would totally do it over again just the same if I had the chance. I highly recommend it.

I enjoyed the tour of Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. Lunch on the lake cruise could have been a better. Grayline did an awful job of getting us to the dam. We were picked up at 9am but did not get to the dam until 12:00. We spent lots of waisted time at their terminal waiting on them to complete a full bus. The driver, Dwayne, was awful. He tried to be funny but was stupid. He was on the cell phone while driving, which I found to be dangerous. Someone found a lost wallet so he decided to take the entire group to the lodge to return the wallet. This should have been done while we were on the lake mead cruise. This tour began at 9am and ended at our hotel at 6:30. A complete Day was waisted for a 3 hour tour!

We booked this tour to see the how the dam produces electricity. AFTER we arrived at the Gray Lines Welcome Center, we were told that the very part we wanted to see was unavailable to tours and had been unavailable for months. We feel cheated. Also, there was not enough time at the dam to see what was there.

Trip was amazing from pick up to drop off. Driver and narrator knew his Vegas history and made it a fun and interesting drive. Views of Dam were amazing and would go on this tour again. Well worth the money!

Excellent tour, and the driver Mark, was great. He was very informative not only with regard to the tour, but also with both Nevada and Las Vegas history. He also gave us good tips on getting around Las Vegas.

Excellent Experience! From the start everything about the trip was planned out and organized. The tour guide did a great job telling us about the history of Las Vegas from the early 1930's to today. Pointed out famous landmarks, exhibits, and showed us places to see. Also, gave us insight about how to get around the town , where to eat and what to do. LOVED IT!
