VIP Hoover Dam Tour With Lunch

Ultimate VIP Hoover Dam Tour from Las Vegas with Lunch runs through Comedy On Deck. Rated 4.8 across 7,097 reviews. Runs 5 to 6 hours. From $59.

Overview

This tour pairs a Hoover Dam visit with a comedy-club twist: Comedy On Deck runs it with a step-on guide who entertains on the drive out, then the group takes the official power plant tour inside the dam. The day runs 5 to 6 hours door to door, with hotel pickup and drop-off at selected hotels, bottled water, and travel in an air-conditioned vehicle that has a restroom on board. Early access is used to beat the worst of the crowds.

The route covers the main things people come for. You walk across the top of the dam, go inside for the power plant portion, see the exhibits at the government Visitor Center, and stop at the bypass bridge for the wide view. A photo stop at the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign breaks up the drive. Lunch is a hot, made-to-order sit-down meal at a restaurant.

The package also throws in complimentary tickets to a top comedy club on the Strip, which the operator values at $45 per person. Gratuities are not included, and the listing notes that transportation is not wheelchair accessible, though wheelchairs can be rented at the dam for around $5 if needed.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points help this day go smoothly, based on the listing and what repeated reviewers said.

Stairs and walking. There is also a walk with stairs and a ramp up to the bridge viewpoint. Reasonable mobility makes the day easier.
Pace. One reviewer said they were definitely not rushed and that the tour was highly efficient. A couple would have liked even more time at the dam and bridge, so expect a full but moving schedule.
Group feel. The tour runs with a maximum of 45 travellers. Reviewers described good camaraderie on the bus and a comfortable, spacious ride. Several also praised the service from both the driver and the guide.
Food and drink. Lunch is a hot sit-down meal at a restaurant, included in the price. Bottled water is provided on board. Reviewers have praised the meal, with one describing the restaurant as okay.
Weather and heat. One reviewer visited in about 90 degree heat and found it bearable thanks to cooling stations at various points. Bring sun protection and dress for walking outdoors in desert conditions.
Comedy club add-on. Complimentary tickets to a top comedy club on the Strip come with the tour, a $45 per person value. One reviewer had a disappointing experience with the drink purchase requirement at the club, so check the conditions when you collect the tickets.

Common issues. The comedy club bonus drew one complaint about required drink purchases, so treat that ticket as a perk rather than the main event. A couple of reviewers felt the time at the dam and bridge was limited and would have liked more time there. Gratuities are not included, and transportation is not wheelchair accessible; wheelchairs at the dam itself are rented separately for around $5, and anyone needing one should tell the guide. The group can run as large as 45 travellers.
