Hoover Dam Bus Tour company - Groupon - L

This was on of the first things we did when we went to Vegas. It picked us up right from our hotel which was awesome because we didn't have to catch a cab (which in Vegas is really expensive). Then we spent about an hour on the bus listening to our guide go on and on about the history of Vegas. It was very educational, but I felt like he talked a bit too much (on the way home he talked less which was nicer). When we got to there we stopped for a brief photo opt overlooking the dam. Then the bus driver dropped us off and basically said "Ok, here are your tickets to the tour, be back in 2 hours." We were then free to do what we wanted. The driver recommended we do the tour first so that we didn't get stuck there when our bus left. So we headed down with everyone else on our coach bus. The tour was very nice, they start you off with a video and then take you down into a couple different areas of the dam and give you some information and history. It took longer than the hour estimate, mostly because of waiting for elevators. Then they set us free to the lookout area and a little exhibit room which we barely skimmed because we wanted to see the video as well as eat since it was like one o'clock and we had not had any food. Unfortunately with the time we had we were only able to eat from their little cafe place that was more of a burger and fries place. I really wish they had given us more time. The bus then picked us up and we made another scenic photo op spot and headed back to Vegas. When we neared our destination we got to stop by the Ethel M chocolate factory for a few minutes to view the tour, sample and buy chocolate and see the light covered cactus. Once again, though, I felt like not enough time was provided. The bus driver then took everyone's hotel location and dropped everyone off. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend it to any! It was a great deal and it filled our day pretty well even though I felt like they could have dragged it out a bit longer.
