(PARADISE FOUND TOURS BEST SELLING TOUR 2006) Unlike most Hoover Dam Tours, we provide both a friendly driver and a professional comedian guide! Double up in laughter as our comedian/guide keeps you amused! Discover enlightening historical facts about Las Vegas and Hoover Dam, presented in a lighthearted, descriptive fashion.

There's no need to worry as your driver zooms down the freeway at 60 mph while holding the microphone recanting boring facts because our drivers do not double as guides. Your guide (a headlining comedian from here in town) will treat you to a fun morning, making the 45-minute trip seem like seconds. Relive parts of your youth as you don fun disguises for your trip at the government inspection station. Our guides aren't just fun they are also highly informative and will enlighten you to history of this magnificent structure.

Once at the dam, you'll be treated to our signature tour "Walk the Top", a fully guided walking tour over Hoover Dam. Our guides aren't just fun they are also highly informative and will enlighten you to history of this magnificent structure. Your guide will walk over the giant Arizona Spillway (large enough o float the largest battleship). The Bureau of Reclamations Discovery Tour is next. Here you'll travel 500' down into the canyon wall to see the nine massive generators on the Nevada side of Hoover Dam. You'll also be able to take pictures from the visitors center overlook and view the exhibits. You may want to visit the gift shop before boarding the bus and heading off to enjoy a breathtaking Lake Mead scenic photo stop. The water here is some of the bluest you'll ever see.

While here you may want to just take in the peaceful surroundings or laugh as the dozens of Antelope squirrel scamper around the area. For the adventurous, this stop also includes a "stinkweed" demonstration. A morning outdoors is just what you need to work up an appetite. By now you should be ready for lunch and it's a good thing because we have a delicious hot made to order lunch for you. Eat where Presidents, royalty and movie stars have, at the Historic Boulder Dam Hotel. No boring buffet here they make nearly everything themselves. It's time for the best 20 Minute movie you can see on Hoover Dam. It's all vintage footage of the actual construction. If you like knowledge and history you day is not over. After the movie you'll be able to check out the Boulder (Hoover) Dam Museum. Learn the history of discrimination during the construction or listen to the original 1935 switchboard where people who built the Dam tell their stories. No Hoover Dam tour would be complete without a tour of Boulder City (the historic town built for the dam workers). Find out why this is the only city in Nevada that does not have legalized gambling. It was built for the Dam workers and there is plenty to see and learn here. You will be amazed at the enormous size of one of the generators turbine engines (it showed up defective and is now on display in central park).

You are going to see and learn about the famous "dingbat" houses built for the workers, the original Department of Reclamation and the historic Boulder (Hoover) Dam hotel. Beware this hotel is listed as #4 of Americas top 10 most haunted hotels. Next door to the hotel is Grandma Daisy's homemade fudge shop, we can't leave town without sampling the sweets here.

Speaking of sweets our next stop is at the world famous Ethyl M's Chocolate Factory (home of the Mars bar) and Botanical Gardens. You'll have 45 minutes here to take a walking tour, sample their candy, purchase some treats or take a walk in the garden. On the way back to Vegas, our professional comedian/guide provides intriguing facts on the Las Vegas Mafia, Howard Hughes and what has been dubbed the "biggest bloodless coup" in Las Vegas history!
