Gold Mine Tour

The Gold Mine Tour is sure to be one of the most memorable aspects of your Las Vegas vacation. On the tour, you will first have the chance to explore the Colorado River, starting at the base of the Hoover Dam in the canyon. Here, you can see where steamboats and other vessels historically docked, carrying passengers and transporting gold from the area. Guests will feast on a barbeque lunch in Old West Town which was built on the remains of an 1800s mining camp. Then the tour moves into the mine for an incredible look at what working conditions were like in a mine that was last mined over 100 years ago. 

Also included is a full narration of the local culture including topics such as the history of steamboat travel through the region, how the canyon was a gathering point for deserters in the Civil War, reports that the mine is currently haunted today, and so much more. Guests are also welcome to enjoy a self-guided Cactus Garden Tour. This is truly a fascinating tour that your whole family will love, and it gives you a great way to see the sights and learn more about the area in a short amount of time.
