Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas! Sin City is famous for entertainment and excess, but it wouldn’t be the hotspot it is today without the Hoover Dam. The tour is over 31+ miles long, with more than 30+ audio stories, and takes about 2-3 hours to complete. New, Lifetime access, no expiry. Use it anytime, on any trip, as many times as you want.
Surrounded as we are by all this glitz and glam, it might be hard to imagine the Las Vegas Valley before it became a major city. It was hot, dry, and mostly a blank spot on American maps. Note: This 30+ mile-long tour covers the essentials of Hoover Dam in 3-5 hours.

About Kingman
Kingman is a high-desert town in north-western Arizona that grew up along Route 66, with railway history, old neon and mountains and ghost towns nearby.
Kingman lies in the high desert of Mohave County between the Hualapai and Cerbat mountains, beside the railway line that created it in the 1880s. Route 66 runs through the middle of town as Andy Devine Avenue, lined with old motels, diners and neon signs, and the former powerhouse holds a museum of the road. Clark Gable and Carole Lombard were married here in 1939.
