To begin, here is a description of another actual tour offered by a local tour operator:

The first tour I have found picks you up from your Las Vegas hotel in a luxury motor coach which will take you to

the Hoover Dam where you will be introduced to the Discovery Tour hosted by the Department of the Interior.

The tour involves a video presentation, exploration of the Hoover Dam Power Plant Generators and a viewing

from the Penstock Viewing Platform. After the tour you can freely explore the dam then head off to the Lake

description and itinerary of this and other Grand Canyon tours soon.
