Hoover Dam Tours

Hoover Dam tour prices depend on how much access and how many stops are included. Quick mini tours and viewpoint trips are the most affordable, while tours that add the generator room, a bridge walk, or extra stops cost more. Each tour lists its current price, so comparing a few is the easiest way to choose.

Yes. Several tours include interior access, taking you down to the power plant and generator room. The VIP interior tour is one of the most booked options. Without a tour, interior access requires booking the dam’s own tour on site.

The Hoover Dam is about 45 minutes southeast of Las Vegas, near Boulder City. That makes it one of the closest attractions and an easy half-day trip. Many tours pair it with the bridge walk or other nearby stops since it’s so close.

Most Hoover Dam tours run 3 to 7 hours. A short mini tour covers the highlights, while interior, generator-room, and combo tours take longer. The short distance from Las Vegas means you can easily do one in a morning or afternoon.

The interior tour takes you below the dam to the generator room and power plant, areas you can’t see from the viewing platforms. If you’re interested in how the dam works rather than just the views, the interior access is what makes it worth booking.

Most include round-trip transport from Las Vegas and a guide; interior tours add power-plant and generator-room access. Combo tours bundle the bridge walk, Boulder City, or nearby stops. Check whether interior access is included, as some cheaper tours only stop at the viewpoints.
