Las Vegas Tours
Las Vegas Valley was discovered by Spanish explorers
in 1829 and settled by Mormons in 1855, with the town
of Las Vegas established by auctioning land in 1905.
Las Vegas has some of the most breathtaking scenery
within miles of the strip. There are several Las Vegas
tours that bring you up close to some of these natural
or man made wonders.
Hoover Dam - Authorized and funded by Congress
in 1928 for flood control and generating electricity,
the 727-foot high Hoover Dam is the equivalent of a
70-story building. At base, it is 660 feet thick (about
the length of two football fields). The Discovery
Tour provides glimpses of the power plant generators,
the Nevada Intake Tower, the old Exhibit Building, and
other vantage points at individual pace.
Grand Canyon - Grand Canyon tours offer a wide
variety of choices. There are helicopter tours, bus
tours, Rafting tours, and even hiking tours. With so
many tours there will be one the whole family can count
on. Book your Grand Canyon tour today.

fabulous tour of the City. See where Las Vegans live,
work and play. As you tour the Strip, your guide will
recount tales about the infamous founders and the current
entrepreneurs and visionaries who transformed this rail
road stop in the desert into Sin City.
Red Rock Canyon Jeep Tour - Red Rock Canyon
National Conservation Area has scenery so dramatic it’s
often selected as the backdrop for movies and commercials.

Cliffs, part of the 65-million-year-old Keystone Thrust.

of the brilliantly colored Calico Hills abound. Jump
