Lake Mead Tour

About Lake Mead Tours

The Lake Mead and Hoover Dam walking tour is a must-see for any Las Vegas visitor. Built between 1931 and 1936, the Hoover Dam project gave tens of thousands of out-of-work Americans a much-needed job. The dam itself is a feat of modern engineering and resulted in the creation of Lake Mead as the Colorado River backed up behind it.

You’ll see majestic views of the narrow canyons that support the large concrete dam and the hydro-electric power station that resides within it. The landscape, hills, and mountains that surround Lake Mead are a contrast of various shades of red, brown, yellow, and white colors. Be sure to bring your camera as the entire tour offers ample photo opportunities.
