I’ve always wanted to take a helicopter tour over the Hoover Dam, but I’m not really sure what to expect. Last year, a friend of mine went and said the view from above is just mind-blowing, especially when you see how massive the dam really is. They took the route that also flies over Lake Mead, which sounded amazing. I’m thinking of booking a tour for my upcoming trip to Vegas. Has anyone done it? Is it worth the hype, and are there any routes that stand out as must-do?

I did that tour a few months ago, and it was hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had. The view of the Hoover Dam from up high gives you a whole new appreciation for its size and how it fits into the landscape. We flew over both the dam and Lake Mead, and it was breathtaking. If you’re considering it, you can check out some details for Hoover Dam helicopter tours to find the best route that suits you. Totally worth every minute, especially if you’re into seeing nature and engineering marvels all at once!

I haven’t done the Hoover Dam tour yet, but I’ve flown over the Grand Canyon, and I imagine the experience must be somewhat similar—just awe-inspiring from the air. Seeing these massive structures or natural wonders from a helicopter is definitely something else. I’d love to do the Hoover Dam tour next time I’m in that area!
