| - If you want to do something for the day aside from the the Vegas strip, book a tour with these folks!
On our recent trip to Vegas this past weekend we decided to take a tour of the Hoover Dam, so I researched companies for all of 2 minutes and decided to go with the Hoover Dam Tour Company and thankfully [and luckily] with my minimal research, they did not disappoint.
First of all, their reservations team was very thorough and followed up with me several times [I had a busy week last week and was bad with returning missed calls], there was no way they were going to let my group of 4 miss our tour or any of the necessary details, and their diligence in getting ahold of me was most appreciated! The few staff members I spoke to as well were all very friendly.
On the day of the tour you are picked up from your hotel by a nice little shuttle bus that brings you over to their main point at Planet Hollywood where you board a nice, large and comfortable tour coach. During the 50 minute drive down to the Hoover Dam, our driver and guide LaEva kept us entertained with interesting tidbits and facts, many of which were not your typical "touristy" things about Vegas, but rather info about the outlying areas, the industries there, average home and rental prices etc... She was also very thorough with the various instructions throughout the tour and never at any point were we confused or felt under-informed. In addition to touring the Hoover Dam, stops were made at two outlook points and the Ethel's Chocolate Factory [my favorite part!]. Upon arrival back in Vegas you are dropped back at your hotel, or one very close by should you choose to just walk a bit like we did.
Thanks to all the staff at Hoover Dam Tours and LaEva, we had a great time!
