AWESOME TOUR and experience, but shorter than the tour we took in 1991 that would take you to the base of the dam. That tour is available with a background check by the Bureau of Reclamation and a 6 week lead time in the tourist season.
We took the 30 min power plant tour and got a military discount since we're veterans -- NICE!!
We had a nice time on the very interesting and educational tour with 75 of our closest friends, then got a nice view of the dam from the overlook :)
The tour comes with free admission to the cool interactive exhibits where the experiences of the men who worked to build the dam came alive!!
WELL WORTH THE COST AND THE TRIP FROM VEGAS
