Las Vegas may be Sin City but the stunning desert landscape that surrounds the city may be as close to heaven as you can get. Take a private Las Vegas tour with a local guide who knows the Nevada wilderness like the back of his hand and is eager to show you the gems hidden in this other-worldly landscape.

Take your time wandering up and down the strip - it's the only chance you'll ever have to brunch in Paris, lunch in New York and enjoy evening cocktails in Venice. When you've had your fill of Las Vegas' glitz and glamour (and slot machines!) prepare for a day of outdoor adventure. See the escarpment and rock formations at Red Rock Canyon, just minutes outside of the city, before heading to see the unique Anasazi Ridge petroglyphs overlooking the Santa Clara River. Hike along the Chuckawalla Trail and see the Mormon ghost town of St. Thomas.

So many possibilities! We know you'll enjoy your private Las Vegas tour around scenic Nevada and Utah.

The Hoover Dam, an awe-inspiring engineering marvel, harnesses the mighty Colorado River's immense power. It not only generates electricity for seven Western States but also plays a crucial role in flood control and water distribution across the Desert Southwest.

Drawing on my background as a retired history and geology teacher, I offer a unique and intimate exploration of Hoover Dam. We'll venture both outside and inside this engineering masterpiece, delving into its remarkable history. From the unforgiving canyons it towers over to the poignant tales of the towns submerged by Lake Mead's rise, we'll uncover the human stories behind this colossal structure. We'll also reflect on the sacrifices of the men who built it.

Moreover, we'll examine the parched ecology resulting from prolonged drought and contemplate the future of Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, and the Colorado River. Join me for a profound journey through time and nature at this iconic site.

This tour is for up to 6 people.
