Description: Take a break from the frenetic lights of the city to enjoy a 45-minute ride through the savage beauty of the desert surrounding Las Vegas. Your comedy guide will punctuate the trip with interesting tidbits of Las Vegas history. We visit one of the most magnificent tributes to the ingenuity of man, Hoover Dam, and take the breathtaking “Walk the Top” tour over the dam, which looms over 700 feet above the Colorado River. Next we take in the enormity of the nine generators on the Nevada side of the dam on the Bureau of Reclamations Discovery Tour. Photograph the gorgeously blue water of Lake Mead and browse the Hoover Dam Gift Shop. Before the return trip, we enjoy lunch and a tour at the Hoover Dam Hotel, whose ghostly inhabitants are infamous among the locals. After lunch, walk through the Boulder City/Hoover Dam Museum. The tour concludes with the lovely 45-minute drive back to the hotel, with the company of the professional comedian.
