Before You Book
- Hotel pickup is from selected hotels only. To keep the tour efficient, pickup points are strategically placed along the Strip. Confirm your pickup location at booking.
- Elevators occasionally out of service. On rare days, dam elevators may be down for maintenance, which can affect access to some areas. This is controlled by the dam, not the operator.
- Groups split inside the dam. For the interior portion, larger groups are divided into smaller ones. Follow your guide’s timing so you don’t miss the film or exhibits.
- Comedy club ticket. Your bonus LA Comedy Club ticket at The Strat is valid separately. A fun add-on for your evening.
- Tips not included. Gratuities for your guide and driver are customary and not included.
- Wheelchairs. The transport isn’t wheelchair accessible, but wheelchairs can be rented at the dam for about $5. Tell your guide if you need one.
- Cancellation: free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund.
