One of my objectives for this trip was to see the Hoover Dam. So the first day on the Strip we found a place to sign up for a half day bus trip to the Dam. It took a little bit of time to find a trip that just went to the dam and back without stopping somewhere else. One trip offered a cheaper price if you included the tour of the Chocolate factory, which basically took a couple more hours and I'm sure involved shopping in some type of store.
We were picked up at the hotel across the street and bused to an old office building where someone happily took our money and offered us a special on helicopter rides over the Dam. They send buses to all corners of the city, then herd everyone in this office buiding, then send them on their respective tours. Grand Canyon in one bus, Hoover Dam and Chocolate factory another bus, and just Hoover Dam on yet another. It took less than an hour to get to the Dam and over the duration of this tour we must of heard every dam joke ever written. Dam bus joke, dam tour guide joke, dam this, dam that. It was dam fun. And let me tell you, it was dam big! Nice dam side trip when you need a break from getting carded on the sidewalks of Vegas.
