Las Vegas City Tour
This tour begins at the MGM Grand Hotel and takes guests through the famous Las Vegas Strip where they will experience the glamour that is Las Vegas. As you enjoy the sights, the tour guide will share information on Las Vegas' history and current information on the city such as the future plans for growth. Participants will experience the beauty of the Bellagio, from the peering hand-blown glass flowers, created by world-renowned artist, Dale Chihuly, to the Conservatory and Botanical Garden that will submerge the senses in fragrance, texture and color.
The journey will continue to "Downtown" Las Vegas where guests can catch a glimpse of classic Las Vegas history at Fremont Street. The tour will end with a stop at the famous Welcome to Las Vegas Sign for photo opportunities.
Hoover Dam and Lake Mead
It's awe-inspiring. It's a magnificent monument to man's vision
and fortitude. See this National Historic Landmark and Modern Civil Engineering Wonder of the World...Hoover Dam! Guests will journey through the history of the dam from construction to its use in modern day. After the Hoover Dam tour, guests head to Lake Mead. Away from the glitter and glamour of Las Vegas, Lake Mead is a spectacular desert lake, surrounded by colorful rock formations and tall canyon walls. Board the Desert Princess paddleboat at Lake Mead Marina for a lunch cruise on the clear blue waters of the largest man-made lake in the western hemisphere.
Hoover Dam Tour
Completed in 1935, Hoover Dam's 726 foot-high structure was the highest dam in the world at that time. It's the dam that tamed the mighty Colorado River. Today, Hoover Dam is both a National Historic Landmark and Modern Civil Engineering Wonder of the world. The modern Visitors' Center provides a fascinating film on the Dam's construction and history including Boulder City. Visit the exhibit gallery, observation deck, and go inside the dam to the power plant at its base to view the massive generators. See dramatic views of the Colorado River and Lake Mead, the largest man-made body of water in the Western Hemisphere.
Following Hoover Dam, guests will visit the historic Boulder City and then head back to Las Vegas for lunch.
Springs Preserve
The Springs Preserve is a 180-acre non-gaming cultural and historical attraction designed to commemorate Las Vegas' dynamic history and to provide a vision for a sustainable future.
The Preserve features museums, galleries, outdoor concerts and events,
colorful botanical gardens and an interpretive trail system that
meanders through a scenic wetland habitat.
Known as the birthplace of Las Vegas, the site of the preserve was once home to bubbling springs that were a source of water for Native Americans living here thousands of years ago. It also sustained travelers of the Old Spanish Trail and Mormons who came to settle the West. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978, the preserve is located approximately three miles west of downtown Las Vegas. Guests will take part in the ORIGEN experience Living Collections which features a variety of mammals, reptiles and invertebrates native to the Mojave Desert. Sustainability is the focus in a separate exhibit where you can learn all about having an eco-friendly lifestyle.
Lunch is served in the Springs Preserve Café, and guests will enjoy shopping time in the Museum Store.
While returning to the MGM, guests are treated to a drive through the historic Scotch 80s area, one of the oldest master-planned communities in Las Vegas, and home to many casino moguls, celebrities and politicians.
On Stage with Jubilee!
Forget theater seating, the real show is behind the stage of Jubilee!
Since the first Las Vegas production show, the image of a Vegas showgirl has been as synonymous with the town as the name itself. Visitors and locals alike visit shows like Jubilee! in droves each year, and by the end of the show, they are left both fascinated and mystified with what they have just seen.
The two-hour tour begins with a brief history of showgirls, stage spectaculars and how the Jubilee! show is produced. See for yourself the size and the mechanics of the stage, which is one of the largest and most technically complex in the country. A Jubilee! showgirl discusses the everyday challenges of being on stage and the many time constraints of working in a live show. You are then guided to the various dressing rooms and allowed an up-close look at the elaborate costumes worn by the Jubilee! performers.
After the backstage Jubilee experience, guests will be treated to lunch.
*Restrictions: This tour requires mobility up and down several flights of stairs and is not handicap accessible. Children under 16 are not permitted. Children 16 to 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
Eldorado Canyon and Boulder City
Enjoy the Wild West on this beautiful sightseeing excursion to the historic Eldorado Canyon. Step right into the pages of history, with a walking tour of the Techaticcup mine. You will venture deep into the rumored-to-be-haunted gold mine and visit three different shafts, one of which drops down over 900 feet. Learn how people labored feverishly looking for gold — chiseling their way through the mountainside inch by inch with only the most primitive tools and candlelight.
Following the tour, enjoy lunch in Boulder City, a community initially created to house the workers who built Hoover Dam. Constructed in 1931 in the midst of the Great Depression, Boulder City was conceived by the federal government as an ideal town, a "model" city to which the American people could look for hope of a better future.
